I think the coolest part of this airplane is the visibility you get from the canopy - It looks like flying a spaceship

With that climb rate it is a rotor less winged helicopter.

7 yr old video that still looks amazing. Timeless.

this is not a plane, this is a dream!

Exact. In fact after 7 year still it doesn't 'exist'

As a search and rescue plane this is absolutely awesome! The view from the cockpit is amazing! Whoever built this is a genius! Well done sir !

PURE epic! Amazing plane, and awesome film production! NOTE: if ever there was a plane NOT to let passengers in or out of with the engine(s) running - this is it. EDIT: and I enjoyed the remixed classical music; sort of like the remixed classical plane. Great sound track choice.

+FlightChops Thanks! It was fun to make, but as I'm sure you know well, the run and gun experience is stressful.

+Backcountry Pilot Such an awesome video of an awesome plane. I found out about this plane just last week and was extremely excited when I saw that you'd done a video on it. And like +FlightChops mentioned, I really enjoyed the remixed classical music.

Backcountry Pilot Yup - run and gun shooting is really tough - And for that reason I appreciated this film even more! You nailed it considering what you had to work with.

Amazing!! I've been flying since 1965 and have just a tad over 8500 hours on both fixed wing and rotary, including multi engine, on both....I've never come across an aircraft that lit my fire like this one does. Fantastic video and fantastic flying demo!!

I bet that thing could land on a runway. Perpendicular

Or landing in 10 feet with a high wind

That is one of the most hilarious yet appealing airplanes I've ever seen.

onto a bar. he he. I get it.

Years later and this amazing plane still isn't in the hands of the public yet. Great video.

your videos come out so infrequently, but are such a treat when they do.

That sound from the out of sync engines props is called PHASE PULSING. it's caused by two tonal sounds being slightly out of tune with each other. The one that is slightly after will complete one harmonic cycle over the other every so often, producing the pulsing sound you hear. So PHASE PULSING is what we call it in audio terms. I think that's pretty cool.

Well if they are, then they are completely wrong, if something is "out of tune" that means you expect one frequency but another one actually occurs and it sounds bad or off.

Absolutely phenomenal production quality, entertainment, and inspiration. Keep up the amazing work Zane!

-- Just plain _WOW!_ Excellent voice quality, audio & visual editing, and composition! *_Thank you, Backcountry Pilot!_*

Incredible Plane, incredible production, and incredible narration! Thank you so much. I was especially moved when you described the peculiar out-of-sync sound of the engines, "THAT SOUND" as you described it. I realized that twin-engine pilots could especially appreciate that comment, those with knowledge, experience, and a little bit of wisdom who are able to recognize "THAT SOUND". Thank you for the video and the inspiration.

Gives me chills! As a child I was given a ride in my uncle's Cub. This film took me back to that day. Inspiring and mesmerizing. Thank you!

I’ve seen this video before but it came in my recommended again and i remembered the video and how exited it made me. Such a beautiful design, reminds me a lot of the whacky 1930’s Heinkel planes, their seaplanes where ahead of their time but look rather daft. They worked tho!

The Bandit doesn't have a chance of escaping me now! Thanks for this awesome ride!

buford t. justice thank you nice lady

Awesome. Thank you for giving us this experience, really appreciate the set up you clearly went through to get such great takeoff and landing shots and the amazing skill of the pilot and his plane, all superb.

WOW!! Awesome aircraft and vid. Talk about reigniting an old passion to fly. Thanks SO much for taking the time to shoot and produce this ;)

Hats off to the Pilot, he knows what he is doing.

Incredible.I love your work and am always left with a sense of both awe and envy. Can't wait for the next one.

LOVE, LOVE , LOVE the clear cockpit. Awesome. What a great view.

Phenomenal, simply phenomenal! Super Cub meets Cessna 307, but with Alec's novel engine placement. Inspirational.

Awesome wicked flying. Love it!!!

Wow, amazing visibility AND performance.

I'm in absolute awe. Huge respect towards you

this is the most amazing plane I seen .... made me cry .... made me dream... made me rethink my ways .... made me want to fly ... I am just standing there with my mouth open..... it gave me a new way of thinking .... I still cry ...

I never get tired of this great footage. awesome cub

When you hear synchronisation it's called a "beat". It sounds like woo woo woo woo within the engine noise. This is the most impressive thing I've seen in well wow. Perfectly set up flown with great skill. Take a bow gentlemen how cool is this

Awesome video! You do such a great job! Thanks for sharing this video.

Awesome plane, pilot and video production .

that thing looks like a blast to fly, awesome video.

Awesome camera work and that Pilot is Amazing! really enjoyed watching this

That's a really neat aircraft! Nice flying, blue side up!

Incredible Aircraft! Nice footage

Excellent presentation

Wonderful work Alex Wild

Instant classic! what an amazing design

Your videos deserve 10x more views, I hope you become a super popular avation youtuber one day!

I love your narrative style (and/or voice). it sounds like a book I would like.

This thing is the epitome of what I love in life haha. Unparalleled visibility, Rotax 914's which have become my favorite engine in general aviation, and amazing aerodynamic design to make it perform in the backcountry. It really is the ultimate bush plane!

Wonderful video! Please continue with more!

Absolutely incredible aircraft and excellent pilot! I can only dream of such adventures! It would be amazing to fly in to some remote fishing spots in this plane!

Practical and beautiful design.

Amazing plane and pilot, but you’re also a fantastic narrator with a very well done video. Great music too, I’d love to have that opera remix!!

Very enjoyable and impressive to watch.

Beautiful video, man.

Excellent stuff bro

Wow! Incredible plane and pilot!

Beautiful music/videography.

Superb flying. Just subbed. Really dig your machine. Thanks!

Awesome guys, beautiful aircraft stol

awesome, simply awesome. Hope one day you can produce in mass and hope one day i can buy one of it

Very nice video! High quality!

Wow! Most epic aircraft ever! Didn't realize it was a double engine aircraft until you mentioned it.

Interesting concept and great production value!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Marie

awesome plane! Nice work

Fantastic! Great video!

Great video!

Hi, it might be interesting to mention that this plane is covered in Oratex6000 by BetterAircraftFabric, the revolutionary German Aircraft Fabric that requires no paint at all, come painted and goes on with a completely non-toxic glue. Its way stronger, way lighter and tougher. As its not mentioned in the video, I think its worth adding. A great video, very well done ! We need more videos like that ( not as a commercial entity but in the sense of shrinking pilot population and agitation against General Aviation ! ) Anyway, I love your channel here, keep it up! I also have many Backcountry flying videos on my own channel, but they are exclusively Alaska Bush flying videos. Best Regards from Anchorage!

I actually wanted to know this. Also, what base plane is this? Is it a GT500 or ?

Beautiful.

The full vis canopy is the best! It feels like you're in one of those star wars pod things :)

Very well done !

Amazing airplane and amazing pilot skills!

I wouldn't expect anything less of a plane designed with the heart and mind of a true bush pilot. Well done, I am buying one.

this is exactly what I had in mind. Having this much ground clearance makes it easy

I've watched this a few times now, bloody incredible !:-)

Plane and pilot. They are both Amazing.

Wow great plane, awesome footage! Nice job!

Lovely machine!

Now that is some crazy good flying!!

looks excellent to fly,great work

This is impressive, innovation is alive and well!

Incredible!!!

Wow, amazing piloting skills and cool plane!

that cockpit is so freaking cool.

Wow! Just amazing

Real flying in a real aircraft. Purpose built. Awesome

Wow. I've never seen such a skilled pilot before. He did stuff birds can't do.

Great little plane, four thumbs up

Really cool. Never flown a plane but stuff like this really makes one wish they could.

Great video great product... Keep doing these kinda reports!

Music selection is top-notch! Thanks for mentioning artists! Discovered Zoe thanks to your filml

This is why R/C planes are insane in the performance curve. Tons of power and little weight. This is the grown up version of flying your r/c plane for real. Wow what a piece of work! Amazing! But with 2 engines - face palm, that's just nuts! Love this plane!

That is one of the finest youtube vids i have ever seen

OMG! This is such an AWESOME air machine! I dream of a plane that can do THIS.

Buy a 180hp Super Cub, stick some tundra tires on it and you will have an airplane of the same performance. An Aviat Husky will do the same thing right off the rack and it's a certified aircraft that you can insure and any pilot can fly (well, any pilot certified for tailwheels)

That was extremely cool!

Never seen a plane with such a view,make a great search and rescue plane.

Speechless, really

I see you. Dope camera action. Editing on point. And flying the hell out of that airplane. God Speed..

Loved it!

Fantastic video Really nice

What a lesson in video making! Thanks!

Truly inspiring

I can't wait to see variations of this aircraft at STOL competitions!
