Nice job, impressive! As an aside did you know that you can make a tank using double folded joints ? Regards, Jim the Brit

I couldn’t weld if my life depended on it probably not satisfactory anyway, but I do know enough about it that even though you didn’t show a close-up that looks pretty darn good for aluminum welding, which is very very very difficult - just FYI for anyone who doesn’t know much about welding.

You need to make a trip down to Florida and make some Airplane content with Cleetus McFarland at his new airport!! The Freedom Fox needs to go land at the Bald Eagle Airfield!!

That extra length of pipe is going to reduce your cruise speed by 1/2 mph and increase your take off roll by at least 7”. But I guess the new prop fixes that…😂 Great episode. Love the ingenuity.

That Flaperon is an ingenious idea! I cant believe that all GA aircraft don't have something similar to that system! Why have I never heard of this!😲

I'm shocked that you can even get insurance for that type of flying! It must be awful expensive!😲

Building your skillset the welding is serving you well. We need to see more of Hailey. You both have fun on the ground and in the air. Proud of you!

More maintenance videos!

Burning Man was a whole other thing 20 years ago.

I love the visibility on your plane. I moved to Florida from Colorado to learn to fly. I just learned about air density and thought it was ironic that Colorado probably has better flight conditions in the better half of the year.

you didnt put enough air in the tank

The plural of foot is feet. Your elevation is 6000 feet. Not foot.

I don;t get it. I put the duct tape on the cowl ... WELL in front of the mains of my M4 Maule ...and it STILL almost bit me. What the hell, Trent!? I don't land on many treadmills ... 😉🤣😜 Very well done, Sir. Carry on ... ^v^

I’m 40 seconds in and want to start now. Thanks Trent 😂

LOL, the smokehorn should be standard on all aircraft.

Well-thought-out upgrades! Very impressed with you TIG welding an aluminum project...and a tank at that! Well done! Love the channel! Best to the family and thanks for sharing!

I've had smoke on my Rans S7-S (N29TD)for about 5 years....I love it I'm glad you joined the "show off club.

Nice job on the new project. looking forward to different colored smoke... or a dukes of hazard horn🤣

GREAT project. I would definitely get a 3 way switch! !! !!!

Definately choke down the orifice a bit.

Nice piece, thanks Trent.

3...2...1... smoke ON!

That's my retirement job plan

I've found that the flapper-type oil pumps will reverse, but the flapper wheel itself only works thru a few reversals before the flaps start sheering off. Otherwise, they're very reliable.

Here comes the chem trail flat earthers

Like the smoke and new lights. Did you get in a close call that made you do this? Just curious. Makes sense to do this!

Trevor Jacob is DB Cooper! Mystery solved!

Thats some good welding. I got an Ali tank built by a professional welder and it leaked all over the seams, got patched repeatedly! Anyway, any chance you could put down the parts list for that build? Pump and injector nozzle especially.

Nice landing lights… Kinda close to the leading edge at high AOA, isn’t it? Let’s test the smoke machine and see if we can direct smoke in front of the lights…. To see if they are working like speed brakes, disturbing lift about 2X the width of the lights themselves…. Placement of the oil input into the exhaust pipe matters… The closer to the exhaust valve, the hotter the EGT is… better for evaporating the oil. If you see a lot of oil all over the plane, and a weak smoke show…. Test the oil nozzle for its spray pattern… a finer spray may help… Dripping oil into the exhaust pipe where the EGT has cooled quite a bit may not be evaporating a lot of oil… Summary, to get smoke… small droplets and high EGTs where the oil is important… Safety note, a gear pump can build enough pressure to blow the hose off downstream…. 😃 😃

Cardboard aided design 💀💀💀

Doppler effect was cool, could you have made the tank from 032 or 040 to save a bit of weight?

6:40 you can always design it to key together instead of all the bends. Would be more welding but would be easier on you.

PUT THE GUARD BACK ON YOUR GRINDER!! As a journey welder of ten years I can honestly say that I have never needed to remove the guard. One little slip and that thing will remove your fingers. I don't know about a kitfox but I can't fly my 172 with no fingers. Anyway, your welds look fine. At least the ones you showed us 😂

Awesome videos, Trent, that brought back memories of my journey to Oshkosh 1996, in my Quad City Challenger II Clipwing. What a rush that was!

So awesome!!!

Another great video, Trent. For a beginner, your aluminum welding is A1.

Trent’s starting to go down the route of Mike Patey. He’s machining, designing, welding, and most importantly having fun while doing it and all for the love of flying.

Nice ending shot, drone tracking about perfect.

Gonna put smoke on my trike…

Trent. What about to make a baby? P}

Pretty good welds for a rookie. I never really mastered welding so good on you.

The real question is who is this neighbor and who hurt him?

If it held you can weld is a brilliant saying!

6:21 made me smile :) Great video Trent! Love to see all the progress shots, looks like it turned out really well

How did this all end ?

the car horn kills me. horn must stay 😂

You and @CleetusM need to get together and go flying. that would be epic!
