I split this video into two parts part 1 is 9:30 min and the second should be about 9:00.
This was shot( not by me) at a fly-in sometime in the 1993 time frame. Some of this video is in one of TEAMs promo videos. The first 6+ min. have some bad spots in the video, it was that way on the VHS I took it from.
As far as I know this is the only video of the TA-3 in the air.

Part 2 will follow in the next day or so.

great post; thanks very much

Don't mean to get off topic but are there anyplace you can get plans for the 2 seater? Has anyone ever made or designed one to be built from aluminum (even a regular max)?

Thanks, Ben

Nice video and planes. Thanks for sharing. What engine powered the TA-3?

  Part 2 is now on youtube. This may have been shot in 1990. I know it shows that date in the first part, but I was thinking it was later than that. I'm not sure who shot the video, but you hear Larry Isreal a lot. You will also hear skip(Harold Little), and I'm not sure if Kathy was there or not. Wayne is in a couple clips as is Jim Collie. This video was shot at Cedar Glade. If anyone knows anymore about the video please post it. Thanks. Enjoy!

The red and white plane making a bad landing was TEAMs prototype Z-MAX. I think this the same airplane Skip now flies...I think

Quoted from 1039 Nice video and planes. Thanks for sharing. What engine powered the TA-3?

Tj,
I think it was a 582 Rotax, but I'm not 100% on that.

I enjoyed watching this footage along with the original video from TEAM.

Your Welcome!  

Hi Guys,
I have known the late very talented Jim Collie through TEAM's video  with an impressive low_tight coordinated flight maneuvers and interview, a former navy cougar pilot, TEAM test pilot (stated in an article of Kitplanes' "First Impression"). An aeronautical engineer who prepared the Minimax/Himax stress analysis.

A great loss knowing (thru ETLB) he died in a crash. Just curious, does anybody of you guys could tell how he died on such incident? Does the TEAM aircraft involved too? Thanks.
Phil

  Phil,
Jim wasn't killed in a TEAM airplane. It was another design that he had become involved with.
