I buy WORLD'S most extreme STUNT Airplane (instructor said DON'T)

Listen, this is very serious. I'm an experienced pilot with hundreds of hours in Extras. The holes in the swiss cheese are lining up here. I can think of countless fatal accidents where rich inexperienced pilots have gone all out and got a powerful first aircraft. Please take the time to train in a typical Cessna or Piper. The likelihood of getting yourself killed in that Extra is high and when you crash a light aircraft you either die on impact or burn to death. This is a serious matter. You don't know better than experienced pilots. You don't know what you don't know. Get your PPL in a PA28 Warrior or Cessna 152/172 and build experience in those. You'll think you know bettter until that 10 second window when you realise you messed up and it's lights out. Aircraft failure isn't the main killer, it's pilot attitudes that are the biggest risk.

I think Gregg is absolutely someone that you need to keep close to you and take every bit of his advice. I know there's some comedic value in this, but he's 100% bang on, and he's not a yes man for a bit of dosh. Keep him in your list of trustworthy people.

As a flight instructor, the flight instructor's reaction is totally justified. Aviation demands diligence in study, discipline, humility, and respect for the craft. Take what your CFI tells you to heart. As a viewer, I'm fuckin' pumped!! I seriously can't wait to see your progress through flying and going through everything from straight and level, ground ref maneuvers, stalls, cross country flights, and hopefully even your instrument rating! I'm an airline pilot, always wanted to do aerobatics, and I am incredibly jealous of your Extra and couple aerobatic flights so far haha But for real, take it slow, don't get ahead of yourself, and be humble. Lots of people get killed by hubris via aviation.

that instructor is literally my new favorite person..

Well, it was a pleasure to meet you, we will remember you as the madman who jumped from an RC to an acrobatic plane and from there to the sky (with San Pedro)

Kev, in aviation you absolutely cannot run before you can walk! Greg's reaction is completely understandable, some instructors would point blank refuse to teach you as the attitude would worry them. Please listen to the experts, no-one wants a Colin McRae scenario due to your over-enthusiasm. Take it steady and you'll get there.

That was the best "telling offs" I've heard in a long time! 😂

Kev, I've only been subbed for about 2 years, and your channel is what drove me to get back into RC, and get some hobby grade cars. I've loved the monster truck series as well, and now you've gone and got an airplane. Please, please, please, listen to all the advice from your instructor and don't fall victim to temptation to start going crazy with this plane any time soon. I was an instrument flight controls specialist in the Air Force, and I know how complex and dangerous planes can be, especially the high horsepower, high performance models. I really don't want to come on YT and see one of your friends making a video about your final flight in your newest toy. I wish you all the best, and safe aviation.

Listen to your instructor. One small error can cost you everything.

I agree with the instructor, the extra is fast, but there are other more comfortable fast aircraft out the. It's less about the extra being mental, more its just wasted money on a loud rattlebox when there are "cruisers" out there.

More of Greg, please. Guy is a legend, and knows his stuff. Listen to him.

I think your flight instructor had good reason to speak to you like you did

As someone who has flown both real airplanes and RC airplanes, its about 100x easier to take off and fly an actual airplane even for long distances. Now remembering what all the switches and knobs do and landing safe and smooth is the hard part. Im talking about single propeller planes tho, I know nothing about jets or multi props. But I took off and flew a cessna before I graduated high school. My first flight was over an hour. Ive never had a rc plane fly more than 3 mins without crashing. A stunt plane is a wild first choice but I can't knock it. Still light enough to glide pretty well incase of engine failure. Just focus more on learning than actually filming or cameras until you get comfortable. A tumble wumble hits alot different from hundreds and thousands of feet in the air.

As someone with over a thousand hours just on high-performance tail-draggers, I can safely say that an Extra is probably the last aircraft I would purchase for your planned mission. Even forgetting the significant aerobatic capability and instability of the Extra, the weather over the Irish Sea is poor at the best of times, with either solid IFR or at best a very limited visible horizon to assist you. Sea crossings on even the nicest days have a nasty habit of the sea blending into the sky and you feeling like you are flying in a goldfish bowl unaware of which is up or down! You require an aircraft with IFR capabilities, preferably FIKI and a stable instrument platform - an autopilot would also be of great benefit!

this guy is gonna be one of those guys that end up on a list of you tubers that died making a video

I am 100% behind you Kev as far as getting your pilots license Kev. But you really need to listen to everything your instructor tells you. Everything about aviation is about being 100% thorough. There are no short cuts and if something goes wrong the outcome can be pretty binary. I'd like to keep watching you for years yet, so do everything properly. As nice as your new plane is, it's fundamentally not the plane for a beginner, or even very good for doing distance. The plane you are learning on, and say something like the Cessna 172 are very stable planes and are much better for the first couple of years of flying. That kind of lack of control responsiveness and stability gives you time to figure out what is happening and get yourself out of bad situations. That aerobatic plane is the very opposite, and you need years of experience to fly it safely. Anyway, best of luck.

19:46 your instructor 😂cracked me up 😂

Kevin you need to listen the experts when it comes to flying mate you potentially risking other safety if things go wrong

That’s a decent instructor to scold you without hesitation.

Student pilot here, beautiful plane you brought! just don't go flying it until you are ready, maybe 10-15 years from now.
