I'm guessing they (Wasabi) pushed to put that out from their channel to help with some of the blow-back/criticism of them on his main channel. Definitely good to see their side of things, but not too many surprises on their squawk/concern list.

I'm not worried about the powerplant. I'm worried about the re-drive, the weight, and everything else.

I think the scary part is how he is basically ignored their advise to move to a different airport from the first inspection. Unproven engine, engine mapping done by him, unproven re-drive, no dyno of the engine to see how the tune works, no long test of the engine and re-drive, aeros are changed from the analysis.
It amazes me people think this thing is going to fly and then straight into production. Bless their hearts.

It”s almost like Raptor Is an attempt to copy & improve the Velocity XL but pressurized? Everything looks the same from the silhouette to the landing gear: https://www.velocityaircraft.com/xl

There has to be some strong overlap of viewers between Jerry W and Raptor. Same mind-boggling hazardous attitude comments on both channels.

Everything looks the same from the silhouette to the landing gear: https://www.velocityaircraft.com/xlI say it's more like a Velocity XXL (and no, not a jab at it's portly empty weight ). Cabin is a bit over a foot wider, wingspan is about 3' wider...gross weight is (theoretically) about 1000# heavier. I was surprised how tall the tipsails appeared in the last video. I'd think it's trying to compete with the Malibu's of the world, moreso than the Bonanza/SR22/Velocities...at least on paper.

It sounds like there is still a lot of work left to do.
