On the production version warranty will be 2,000 RPM or until your wheels leave the ground, whichever comes first.

Nice long video from Wasabi. It’s obvious at this point that Peter doesn’t listen to much.

There is so much information in that video.

Hair tie door lock, weight and balance, proving the powerplant, the crappy controls.

Anyone who has a deposit down should watch this video and BAIL.

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. :shrug:

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.

My thing isn’t the engine, but his tune. Stuff like that needs to be left to an expert.

I watched the whole video. Never saw the expanded portion showing the know-it-all codger that was previewed in the first minute.

This thing may end up safely flying in a test, but it's so far away from the original promised outcome that it will never see production.

Wish that one guy would stop waving his hands right in front of the camera. Makes it hard to watch.

I think these Wasabi guys will get it in the air. It might be fun to take wild guesses on performance. I am guessing 145kts and 600FPM. I'm guessing that engine puts of 180-200HP.

Hopefully Peter is going to get the hint and move the test flight on a dry lake somewhere...

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:

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

I say it's more like a Velocity XXL (and no, not a jab at it's portly empty weight :lol: ). 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. :shrug:

They do a pretty good job articulating and explaining a lot of questions in their narrative and they seem very thorough. It sounds like there is still a lot of work left to do.
