Found this on the GoPro site! Love the flying stuff!!! This vid is frikkin' addictive! The whole thing is superb from a photography point of view, but the final scene, beginning at about 3:52, is simply stunning. Awesome find, amigo. FB | ||

For reference: A Cessna 150/152, a fairly standard two seat trainer, has a gross weight of 1600 lbs. It comes with about 100hp - slightly more in the later models. This is with a fixed pitch prop, which is most efficient at one airspeed, and less so above/below that. The Extra has a loaded weight of 1550 lbs, would usually fly at less than that, and has 340hp with a constant speed prop that can *always* get that full power transferred into the air. It's like comparing a Blast with an XB12. Same general weight, slightly different power. ... and I really, REALLY need to either get out riding, or get out flying. One of the two. :-/ | ||

It is not a Extra, but a Edge 580! | ||

Wow! Cool stuff thanks for posting. I think he needs new valve stem seals though & maybe rings as well, that motor's a bit smoky.  |
