YES! Show us "The Build" 🙂 That may help in selling the aircraft 🙂
Yes, cover the build.
That canopy makes all the difference.. it looks so much better now
This plane will certainly satisfy those seeking the "Top Gun" look, but 2 seats and 100-140 hp? It'll be interesting to see an objective flight report once the production model is fully developed and flying. Periodic build updates would be great!
I like that kitty 😺
Do you know Little Early Pearly?
@@tomcoryell I bummed a ride off him one time.
Quality control kitty
Can't wait to hear a flight report for the 2 seater. Yes! Show us the build!!!
This airplane has always impressed me. Glad to see it progressing.
Yes please! I want to see that build taking place!! 😃
Nice to get an update on the Archon.
Can’t wait to see where this goes!!!
Sure Why Not, this Build is a New Experimental one! Right in your Wheelhouse! Bring it On!!!
This aircraft seems very well thought out. Kudos guys. 👍
The kitty likes it, and I'd love to see more! Anything other than a '30's cub design, that is kit built, is cool! This one just seems like such a good idea!! 8) --gary
Yes yes yes yes yes yes please cover the build
I would love to see this build, wish they were building 10 @ time, I like it
Can't help but smile while watching the first one in the air. The updates all seem well thought out. Odd enough, you could easily imagine this aircraft being used for monitoring large farms, policing, surveying, or even commuter use for folk who've got to get city to city with minimal fuss.
Great design, especially the full lift body aspect. Really interested to see the production model finished and to find out the price of the kit.
They have them on their website. It says mid $40k for the single seater and mid $50k for the dual seater. With that said i agree with wanting to know how much it costs once it is all done and ready to go
yeah, you definitely need one :) 2:00 also another kit shop with a cat. approve.
Love that bird man! Keep up with the progress please. Thx Brian
Outstanding Looking Aircraft! 😂
Awesome!!! I love this plane design!
Awesome!!! Thank you !
Yes, I would love to see it.
Nice kit. Nice kitty.
Can’t wait to see the progress
Intrigued and excited.
It would be really neat to see the complete build.
Love it!
Definitely would like to see the build!
Looks solid guys.... would love to fly one, but I am just an old tail drag guy, so I will just watch the young boy's show this machine off!!!!
Really cool engineering. I´m interested in the performance numbers once they get into flight tests on the production model. For me it has a lot of plus and a few negative. Very cool design though.
Yes, yes I would like to see that.
Absolutely!!! Cover the build!
Let's see the build looks pretty interesting
Yep I wanna see that build 1000X
Yes please
Bryan thanks for your continued great content!👍This is exciting, lets do this!
I hope to return to capture THE BUILD of the "In Production" model.
I second the motion.
Cool.
I’m just waiting !
Love to see the build.l
If they end up offering this in a retractable gear kit for under $60K, I (and many more like me) might be interested. They would have to make the VNE ar least 210kts to be realistic. What they have is indeed cool, but it is a nech market. I wish them the best and told them when I visited their booth at 2023 OshKosh. I even signed the Airframe while there.
This reminds me of q documentary years ago " the defender" nfb. Concept was to build cheaper aircraft than the newly acquired f18 of the caf.
Yes, cover the build!
Pretty cool. I’d like to see the build.
The new canopy makes it a lot less goofy looking
Yes I want to see the build
You should do an episode on that Zenith 801 in the background!
What kinda price tag been waiting 2 years now …. If you need help I’m retired now !
We need to see a build video series!!!!!
Looks great. What is the main wing airfoil section?
I would love to see the build on this.
Just don't understand how people can say so little when asked a question ❓. Yes so much so I'll say it again Yes find away to do daily videos of this build, i think so many people will be inspired to build and fly. I've been wanting to fly my whole life, never was able to found it. I was given a plane it's allmost finished and it's going to be sold as soon as it's done. Don't think i will use it myself, but my daughter said she will take it out make videos to show it's abilities in the daytime and nighttime, it's a custom rebuild not the same plane any more. I need your video to inspire me to finish my project to sell it so I can get the equipment I need to build what I want to build. A super ultra lite amphibious vehicle, land "sea" (water) and air. It's really amazing to remember the first time you stuck your hand out a moving car window. Each and every day of your life. I remember the first time I drove each day of my life. My mom and brother thought they were going to die. But not me, they should have known better. Not a scratch, me screaming i I want to do it again, and both of them creaming trying to get the key out of the ignition. Please if you going to indulge spoilering kids, let them do it again, by themselves with no one else around. Need to clean "bat cave" get new and more tools, I've built it in my head too many times, Please i need the inspiration do a daily build of this plane. Thanks for asking,(do i want to see more). ( YES) It's a long read, thanks for reading as well.
Awesome aircraft looks so cool! Please beware of a short coupled tail, maybe having two will cover that... done any stall recovery.. and spin?
That’s like one of those airhogs airplanes just large scale..
It's about 18 ft / 5.5mtrs in length with more rigidity and smooth canopy 👍
Do it!😁
Lets see the build in GA.
The cat says "gimme a ride buddy!" . . . 😆
Yes please cover the build...also I was wondering if this aircraft would qualify for as a light sport aircraft.
Light Sport? At the moment, with current rules, no it would not. It has retractable landing gear. And with the proposed engine I think the speeds would be above the limits as well. But things mat change very soon on the rules.
Let’s see the build!
Even for military planes, lots of them are 2 seats, single seat limit what the airplane can do. A 2 seat give options, you can always leave the second seat uninstalled or fly alone, with better performance with such a small plane. The single seat , you have no choice what so ever and I doubt it is much more expensive. What engine you have in mind?
Would love to see the build
Looks like it underwent a thorough CatScan...
Will the UL line of engines work in the design?
It might be a stupid question but, is there dead space between spars, or other spots in fuselage? If so could styrofoam be added for boyancy in case of a w emergency water landing?
Please cover the build of this plane!
I still think this one is a candidate for carbon fiber OML over an aluminum and steel frame. I am not fond of the exposed seams I am seeing here. That canopy is a vast improvement over what they had though.
A foam board pusher jet all grown up 😂
Need to smooth the entire skin , “ I want her Fast “ ( the aviator ) canopy is a great design addition . Gear retraction and compartment . : aerospace engineer I can help !
I want one.
I notice the registration is in the Canadian Ultralight category. (14:34) Is there a Canadian distributor? I've been retired from aviation for a few years, but would love to get back into it!! Thanks for the video! 👍
What is the glide ratio with engine out?
Show us the build, yes please!!!!!
i noticed all the viewers not look at each other when he said for retired fighter pilots that still want that feel ... not exactly a back country bush plane but fascinating ,definitely keep track , will be interesting to see its performance specs with the uprated power plants .I would buy it for that canopy !? ,I wonder if they could seal it ?, whole thing looks like it should be at 30 000 feet .
I'm with you. Performance must be notable to exceptional to grab available demand; if not, kinda geeky.
90mph maneuvering speed and 45mph stall means it probably isn't super snappy on the controls. Cruise is 110mph.
@@justinwerth3138 I think that was with a much smaller power plant ,I seem to remember 40 hp was all the original builder could get ? . does remind of the channel wings idea .
Who made the canopy?
I see U.S. motorheads and machinests supen this aircraft up!!
Make video on the murphy radical this year
do they sell it with a jet engine?
Translation: Our trucks are now so big they can fit an airplane.
I like the older canopy look personally looked more stealthy like the F-117 but I would never build an airplane with the prop located inside the air frame it is just wrong IMHO dirty airflow and the potential for air frame damage if a prop busts I do think it looks neat though.
I think they are already building those in S. Africa. lol :)
Do you get a complimentary cardboard George Jetson with each purchase of an Archon kit?
do it cover the build i havent seen any new build series on any channel lately
🌋🌋🌋🌋
Please cover the build
Oh brother.
Please let us, see the build👍🥹❤️
Please show the build
film the build!
Please capture the build for the channel.
Please record the build.
also please show us the build
You don't tow something on your roof
Tow/Haul Mode :-)
Others may disagree with this, but I think that it is a bit disappointing. Trying to market this at a "fighter" type aircraft, and they can't even get rid of struts? Design some cantilevered wings, and now we have something.
Show the build
DIY plans would be nice. Just another expensive kit plane..
show the build, please.
Ki da hora!!!
Reminds me of the plethora of kit cars decades ago. "Yeah... NAH!" 👎
That's a death trap not a plane.
