Helpful Tip! If you do any epoxy layups. Keep your scrap Polyester fabric. It can be used as peel Ply. If storing scrap pieces of fabric, for glass peel Ply. Roll it up as nicely as possible. Don't fold it, it's much harder using it as peel ply with wrinkles.

At about 8:00 minutes you say to use drill #12 which is slightly larger than 3/16, however the rivet is 3/16 ? Is that correct ?

Probably a dumb question, but why rely on drawing a perfect centerline on both sides (error-prone), and not simply use the gusset as a template to punch and drill ? (less error-prone). At least that's what it seems to me, what am I missing ?

6:05 if I don’t have a shop cat will I need to get one?😊

On the argument about reusing nylock nuts: You should definitely follow A/C 43.13 as noted here. But notice that the circular doesn't list nuts smaller than 7/16", which are the majority of the bolts/nuts on homebuilt aircraft - 3/16" and 1/4" are both very common. Since no torque values are listed for those bolt sizes, you should not reuse those nuts. "DO NOT reuse ... if the nut cannot meet the minimum prevailing torque values. (See table 7-2)" How can you meet the minimum prevailing value in table 7-2 if it's not listed? You can't. You should replace those nuts. They're only about $0.25 each, so why not just replace them? Your life is worth more than the $5 you'll spend in replacement nuts in the lifetime of your airplane.

What a good man. I am watching and learning thanks to you, sir.

This is great. Good to avoid kits. Once you build a plan, it is always yours and your kids', etc. This man strives for freedom. A noble endeavor, sir!

Does the submersible Viton FkM type hoses need to be replaced every few years ?

🧐seeing stuff like this remind me that aerospace is still technically in it infancy

Is there a full materials list in the plans? I've been reading through, and I can only find materials in each section.

How think and how wide a piece will this work for? Example...if I wanted to get a 90 degree bend in 1/4 inch thick polycarbonate that is 24 inches across, would that be reasonable? Also, with such a bend in thicker (1/4") polycarbonate, how much is it weakened? Would applying some amount of heat reduce that?

How’s it going? I’d love to see more videos. Do you have any planed?

Where is part 2 of the tower build? You are letting us all, down.

I found a seat that doubles as a gas tank.

Where is part two please?.

Do you need to use stainless steel rivets, or can you just use aluminum for everything?

I have a 1978 Honda Goldwing- 20 yrs ago it was impossible to find a new OEM fuel pump. I installed a facet 1-4 psi pump and it has performed flawlessly all these years.

Is osb flat enough?

Wish I’d seen this video prior to replacing all the hose in my SLSA the other day. The 15 yr old Gates 30R7 in my always hangared plane was in great shape but in the wing root area it was losing its flexibility. Cabin area didn’t need replacement at all but access was easy so I did anyway.

Do you still have this plane? I noticed this is the only video you ever made where you flew it. What happened, did you sell it? Did it crash? Why are there no more videos of you flying this?

Exvellent video

This is one of the clearest, best-illustrated, more sensible expositions I've seen recently. Thank you!

you’re the best ty

Too bad there was only 1 part of this.

Thats ehy we do checks it is an aeroplane and you should plan an inspection and if it wears change it may take 15000 hours an people get ultralight aircraft like this and trybto compare it to a fighter jet it does not have the loads and does not require to be build like a tank

The Spitfire went from 1000 hp to over 2000 hp over the course of the war. The main problem is torque so stronger mounting points of the engine and a larger more effective rudder were the two main requirements. That and a fully switched on pilot.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover my Brother P-Touch label printer has the heat shrink tubing labels available for it as well.

1/4 inch snap bushings needed asap

Are the three D. Parts listed as a down load to replicate. When purchasing plans

No that the build series is over and patroon is canceled. Can u get videos with build plans

Almost 10K in 2024

Gorilla glass or Willow glass would be a nice addition to airplane windshields. It is tough, chemical proof, and is getting better every year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Glass

Great video series! Thank you! Would be nicer if there were a follow-up on how it flies, how it handles in the air, ...

The material cloth u use looks a lot like .what we use in composite carbon to cover and relive of existing reason called pealply

Thanks for the video can see how this. Could be confusing

Thanks for the video build series. I have watched many times. Iam purchasing. A plan set soon. Looking forward to the build ❤

Well, the question "Can your Homebuilt Aircraft have Too Much Power?" was not answered. I also did not hear any discussion of possible rudder authority being insufficient to overcome engine torque at low airspeeds in an overpowered aircraft.

how many feet per minute climb though

any updates?

Thank you! I am a ham radio operator. I went out to the field with my radio, only to find out that, since yesterday's operation, the coax has failed a few inches below the connection. Guess the jacket got tired of the cold weather and being outdoors. Your video has helped me a lot.

thank you, notes taken.

The answer to the question title did not exist on the video, how many of you felt time you wasted

Donkey man, NOBODY thought you were trying to sell/promote a tool.. where did that thought come from

Loved the video series so much i'am purchase the plans. Soon. And get a instructor for flight training

Do they do this once a yr. I ask because I just found out 2024

Thanks

I would like to build gyroplane please inform me contact person which is could help me

I commented on another video that you had I bought these wheels on a different video series but I never got a response I want to know what the difference is between smooth tires and trailer tires why did you choose this particular tire

Could u pit lighting holes in the lower 2x2 frame between contral are and rear area behind the seat compartt
