We’ve covered now 3 models of the Lancair aircraft. And they are all undeniably fast. We’ll call this 360 model the tie breaker.
The Lancair 360 is a remake or newer model of the 2 seater Lancair 320. Similar airframe but with more horses on the nose. The Lancair 360 is powered by a Lycoming IO 360 standard, which gives a power output of 180 hp. The model featured in this video is powered by a modified Lycoming engine 375 which puts you at a higher horse power.
Here are some performance specs of the Lancair 360.
Capacity: 2
Engine: Lycoming IO 375
Range: 900 miles
Speed: 235 mph
Useful load: 595 lbs

Mike - Another fantastic overview. This video make me appreciate all of the time that I spent building this Lancair. 8 years roughly 2,600 hours of building time to get it ready for its first flight. Your videos bring a fresh perspective to aviation and we all enjoy your passion for flight. --- Blue Skies
Some seriously nice work in that plane ... the time investment shows. Well done!
Excellent craftsmanship. Love ❤️ everything you have done on it. You must love 💗 the hell out of flying this bird. Better than sex? Maybe, last longer, am I right? Lol. 👍 gear up and away. And speed brakes, sweet.
@@garrygballard8914 there was no speed brakes on this 360. Mike was wrong, he called the ram air lever "speed brakes".... Mike is a VERY low time and very inexperienced newbie pilot (he mis-states stuff ALL the time)
Do you have a build log available of this? Been looking into these or the 235's and I'd like to see how you tackled some of your design choices. I personally like the quadrant.
A Carson hi! Yes please go see this video and then let me know if you have any questions ruclips.net/video/_J2i2g_CnXo/видео.html
I remember when they used made their debut. This is the nicest example I have seen. Looks like it's going 200 mph just sitting there. Excellent paint scheme and interior. If I had to design an airplane and the paint scheme you nailed it.
Lancairs are the best experimental kits out there. The reputation for speed and the looks second to none. I wish they built a single seater race plane with narrow fuse and take it to Reno powered by an IO-720. Fantasy land but who knows, hope someone is listening!
Another great vid Mike!
Starboard is right, Port is left. Gears are Marked, you probably didn't see it.
No Red Port Left in the bottle ;)
John Hooper A true tragedy
Beautiful airplane.
Shows the builder/owner has great taste and a lot of creativity.
Don't listen to the haters, you got a lot more right than any minor mistakes. People don't know how hard it is to do a one-take video with real time commentary. (Actually they do, that is why they comment and complain instead of making their own damn videos, because they suck at everything and their technical knowledge is their only area they can feel accomplished).
Great attention to detail by the builder! Love the idea of cameras in the gear wells and other exterior views for safety. Thanks Mike!
Thanks for the feedback. I look for 3 gear down and locked green lights then I give a quick visual double check with the cameras. This gives one more validation that the gear is down and locked. I had a gear down micro switch fail once, and I was able to use the camera to confirm that the gear was indeed down and locked before I landed.
Hooray for prudent foresight!
Nice video & gorgeus plane! Hope to see also a video about the Glasair 3. Lycoming 540 with 300 hp (some has also modified engines with 350 hp).
Mike! You are having all the fun for the rest of us. What a badass bird! Love the attention to detail! We are stuck flying that in xplane! Haha! Always great content! Go MojoGrip Go!! Is there a Lancair in your future? New FAA regs may make it easier to get it built! Maybe after 1 million subs! Haha!
Great video Mike, freaking sweet ass airplane. 👍👍👍
Beautiful plane!
Great looking aircraft
Like A Jag or Farrari it looks like it's going places even standing still. A real work of art the guy did on it.
Follow @gaFlights to see more videos on this Lancair ruclips.net/channel/UC6A18Qv8BlmXTyGyZ68YU_A
What a beast! Love lancairs
It says "starboard" and "port" on the landing gear cams! That's alright ... that would be me too! Lol!
I like the questions and comments about the stick buttons - So here is what they are if you are interested... Along the top - Rudder Trim, Elevator and Aileron Trim, Auto Pilot Disconnect, mid way down on the stick the button switch is Com2 Freq. Swap, on the front of the stick the Trigger is Push to talk. There is another switch in the front below the trigger and that is a com1 freq. swap. There are two switches on the throttle lever - left side is the cowl flap position, right side - smoke on/off.
I looooove that you’re covering Lancair’s.
I like these little hotrods. I noticed a little glass on the front landing gear, wondering if that's a camera, for a cockpit view of runway landing. Nevermind, I was typing this before you mentioned the camera's. Way cool build on this airplane.
I like the composite air technologies aircraft. They took over the Express Aircraft and are almost as fast and have more room in the cabin. Lots of rear set legroom!
Damn this is a nice bird!
The joy stick switch on the right is the ejector seat 🤣, lol
Bro , nice one !
That is a sexy plane ! It looks like a fun plane !
Great video
Nice introduction to a beautiful bird, Mike. Your comments about size and seating position are bang on - their interiors are "small". Many have said you could be 6' and fly a 360 but it's tighter than my preference. You should checkout/fly the big brother ... the Legacy has more room by far, nearly same/better economy, faster speeds, but alas costs more. I happen to know where you can find one to check out ... :)
Pi In The SKY I AM 6’5” would I fit in the Legacy? I have just over an inch in a RV10 and kind of brush my hair in a Sling TSI. I like the Sling ease of build but didn’t like the aesthetics of the pulled rivets. Also the engine is cool but relatively unknown regarding service and durability. Super capable yet still a bit under speed & powered vs a Lancair. I don’t know but it’s saving grace maybe it’s flight & landing manners vs a Legacy, anyone care to comment?
@@timduncan8450 6'5" would probably be "tight". I am 6'1" and have had taller passengers (6'2"ish?) with no issues. Best way to know is find an owner and convince him or her to take you up :) The Legacy has no bad habits to speak of flying or landing - see my video on this: ruclips.net/video/SE-V_7lZeXo/видео.html - it just comes in a lot faster. Once I made the transition no issues.
I'm in the older age bracket and have seen the kids alright, so it's my time to fly. Started ground school study and once I've passed the written exam I'm heading for southern France for concentrated flying days. My target is PPL by September, then I'm in the market to buy my first plane..
That thing oozes speed.
Lets Go Blues!!!!
Definitely best bang for buck. Beautiful little razor of a plane for much less than a 30 year old Cessna
Could you please include the glide ratio in your reviews? engine off, glide ratio that is. Thanks!
LEFT/PORT 4 letters easy to remember
Will you be able to check your gopros in the Mojosling like that? It’s a cool feature!
That’s a nice plane! I wish I had one of those for my channel. I’m a long way off experience wise for that one though. When are we going to so the Sling again?
lancair or glasair..... which you would choose and why? they seem so similar. both incredible machines
Air brakes? Hahahaha. That’s ram air for the engine. It bypasses the air filter and gives one or two extra inches of manifold pressure, this means more power.
How does Autopilot work with those kind of aircrafts? Are there motors or actuators moving the controll surfaces?
Pretty much all GA aircraft use servos mounted either on or to the trim tab or control surface.
The “ram air” lever is not an air brake.
what matters here is that it CAN be
Dean Su ram air provides extra horsepower to an engine, an air brake interrupts airflow. If I’m missing something please educate me on how it CAN be. Thanks.
In this case it's not for creating extra HP, it's just a lever used to close/open a vent for the air intake to help control the dynamic pressure going into the intake so that it'll remain at least a little constant from idle to the 250ish knots (or however fast this thing goes) that this thing is going to see. As for the air-brake/ram-air thing, he just got'em mixed up, it does have air brakes, just a different lever.
Tabris where does the brake extend from? I know on the Lancair IV/IV-P the gates extend upward from the top of the wing. I’ve never seen a 320/360 equipped. Thanks.
@@mattfredborg5687 it was a joke about how opening ram air might increase the aircraft's overall drag, much as an airbrake is itself designed to do. Didn't realise you were trying to flex your aerospace engineering muscles sorry
My father wants one really badly... ! I would offer him one if only I had the money...
Mike you are too big for that cockpit! Really!
Great speedster!
first of all good day. Are these planes 0 km? the seats are not back to back. Would they do the same speed if they were side by side? Please extensive information. thanks.
I love lycoming, I have never had ANY problems and love the o-360 engine in the mooney m20 But I can't say I'm a big fan of fuel injection on an aircraft in general, for a cruiser I guess, But a trainer bleck! The fuel injected continental engine in da20's was so full of problems we had to restrict maneuvers untill diamond fixed it, we had engine failures after spins , and on reduction of power, (Usually on the round out) and for no reason. Just one more thing to break (Yeah carbs have thier own issues but fool me once...)
any idea what kind of switches were used with the lighted switch tips??
You can find them at www.delcity.net search for illuminated toggle switches they are rated at 30A 12 VDC
Mike, how tall are you? Hoping to get a sense for how much room there is.
That button on the stick you didn't know is for the sidewinder missile launch. The one on the front is the 20mm cannons. Duh. Don't you know anything?? Lol.
Where is the ejection seat button? 😂😂😂
Olá amigo, quanto custou essa aeronave? Grande abraço
Hey Mike hows it going bud, hope u and family are well.
We are safe and well. Thank you!
Once again great footage&comments but you still need a haircut Mike 😆👍🏻👍🏾
Lol. No he don’t.
Frank if Mojogrip gets to a million subscribers by December, I'll cut my hair. How about it?😜
How big is the fuel tank? What is the range?
That plane has the original, smaller nose fork. Lancair redesigned it some time ago, it's much, much stronger now. Highly suggested that they upgrade the fork. The original forks do fail, believe me, I know!
Mike u need to a all the movies of pirates of the Caribbean lol and learn more bout port and starboard
👍🏻
The lever says "Ram Air" (induction system) not "Air Brakes". There are no air brakes on this plane.
Those audi TT Air vents lol
Gets a lot better gas mileage than my F150 "eco" boost
Fyi - you misspelled the aircraft in your last graphic - Lanclair?
Not gonna lie the clickbait thumbnail pic got me 👀
#Support#Each#Other😎
It is not only the much increased performance over stock planes. It is the cost savings. Add up the total cost of the build. How much is 2000 hours of a craftsman's time worth? Most just sell kit planes for the cost of the parts. To be conservative $40/hour x 2000 = $80,000 worth of labor.
got me with the clickbait babe in the thumbnail...
Mmmm, my 1966 Piper Cherokee has a push to start button...
It is a fast airplane while in cruise, but it can be flown all day at 100Knots
My man really couldn't read the PORT and STARBOARD labels on the gear
235 mph is a speed machine? Are you referring to acceleration?
How much fuel will it hold?
the Legacy is a complete different model kit than the 360
Absolutely. Larger and stronger, mostly carbon fiber. Similar missions, however, and the Legacy would cost more to complete and finish.
Why is speed a factor when you don't have to fly at the upper speed ranges for new pilots.
iDrool
Ram air, not air brakes!
Bro where are the rivets???
What certified airplane has the same utility and performance? How much more would you pay for it? Why does the manufacturer want so much for the certified?
It cost a whole lot of work, time and money to certify an airplane.
Experimentals aren't that cheap to build. Factor in 8 years to build it, how much is your time worth?
@@chrism9976 That is my point. People are willing to shell out $1,000,000 for a certified single engine, when they can get a home built for a fraction of the cost. I am talking about buying an experimental already constructed. I would trust the 2000 hours of craftsmanship over an assembly line.
@@extremereclusefallows5779 To answer your question, why certified aircraft are so expensive, this sums it up: www.quora.com/Why-are-new-general-aviation-airplanes-so-expensive?top_ans=31978051
My dear Mike is in sake this one at $200,000? Let me know body ...
Is it a Lanclair or a Lancair?
How tall are you?
I think he’s said 5’11”
@@garrygballard8914 5'9"
Lemme just say if you don’t love lancers mojo grip is not for you we are all lancer lovers here at mojo grip
them chairs look softer than a MF
Shut yo mouff!
So if you don't have any traditional instruments and you lose your garmen in IFR what now???
Cool but that interior is rough. Far from finished.
Fly it then, boi
That aircraft looks like it has high wing loading. Which means the pilot had better know what he is doing or he's going to stall, crash and die
Click Bait! I was looking for the hottie!
2 blade prop is faster than a 3 blade and lighter also...... learn your complete aircraft.
Uhhhh, a 375 is a bored and stroked 360!
Gggggg
While Lancairs are ahead of the rest or were, it can be much better still. So much potential for affordable GA. Over 600km/h for less than a new Cub. Light, high, fast, reclined tear drop composite, twin turbofan jets, pressurized. Jet has a reputation for being expensive, that's the crippling lie. But if your 2 seater plane weighs 160kg you don't need 2 15million dollar rolls royce engines, you need 2 10kg jets. And material strength is much greater at smaller scales, meaning you don't need as stringent engineering. Another crippling lie is that jets use a lot of fuel but a turbofan is very different from a turbojet and a completely normal Williams FJ44 turbofan engine took a plane all the way around the world without refueling. Flying 77 hours non stop travelling 41,467 km. Let me see a piston best that. The simple glaring truth is that a tiny jet can be made for pennies. And you can spend all that junk Lycoming or Incontinental weight on fuel instead. Go transatlantic in your twin jet and show just how great a crime a Cub is.
Interest piqued, which exact airframe and turbofan jets are you referring to?
@@motionsic you mean what's possible or the world circumvention? what's possible of course doesn't exist yet, neither airframe nor engine. The world record is Global Flyer with a single Williams FJ44-4.
Dan Frederiksen “600km/h for less than a new Cub” part. Sonic with RC model jet engines or other more sleek airframe?
@@motionsic not model jet engines but tiny compared to other planes. And turbofans, the sonic uses a turbojet, no bypass, costly in fuel and the sonic is a crude canvas plane and not pressurized. The key to making a jet fuel efficient is high and fast. We are talking FL400+ service ceiling. The body would be teardrop a bit like a glider plane but transonic nuances, very slender rear spine, skinny razor wings, maybe semi long for the size if material allows, carbon fiber because it's stiffer and just the double compound curvature hull will be rigid enough so very light. A jet has a reputation for being expensive but the small size is actually a simple device so could be set up for 'dirt cheap' mass production and then things change.
Dan Frederiksen I’d like to see how your concept measure up against the new Celera 500L or scaled down version of it, with V12 engine.
Rediculous engine choice.
The 360 only seats 2. It's a fat SLSA. It's max gross is only 1600lbs. The Cirrus SR22T flys 20ktas slower but seats 5 @ 3600 lbs. gross. I can put a V8 in a Mazda Miata and beat a Ferrari too...what does it prove? You are once again comparing apples and raisins.
360 powered up to 375? Never heard that in aviation before.
Oh, increased displacement you mean to say. Then say so!
Airplanes have keys to start so no one can steal it. Its simple and works.
A push to start on the stick? What an utter stupid idea is that? Do you have any idea about safety and aircraft tech?
Bored & stroked maybe ?
I don't understand the big whoop about push-button engine starters - even for automobiles. I flew several Citabrias back in the late 70s'. To engage the engine starter, you pushed a spring-loaded button, not turn a key. The few light aircraft I did fly back then, mostly Cessnas, had keyed starter switches. Push-button or turn-a-key, I don't see the issue as a hill to die on.
Phraseology? Yeah... If the term "body frame" (instead of 'airframe', or 'fuselage') came up during a pilot's oral exam I was giving, let's just say that what should last a little less than two-hours is gonna go on and on until proper terms are used. Also, I wouldn't accept "hitting" as it pertains to operating any switch.
Just found your channel, I am not a pilot but one day hope to start that journey. Your videos a great looking forward to more.
My father wants one really badly... ! I would offer him one if only I had the money...
