Great video. I would never complain about free content on KZbin, however It’s very difficult to find any aviation videos without a cheesy music soundtrack. That liftoff was amazing. Do you mind my asking which Rotax motor is in this airplane?

The 1961 Razorback Skylane I fly routinely cruises at 155 kts. The narrower fuselage, the speed gain from the razorback design, and a brand new Continental O-470 all contribute to making this the fastest 182 I've ever been in. 45 year A&P here.

I fly sometimes a Rotax 912 equiped aircraft. And for the oil check in preflight a 912 needs to be 'gorgolled', which is the burbling sound the engine makes after turning it over by hand after ~20 times. The sump is then filled with oil and then you do have an accurate oil reading. Maybe the 915 doesn't need that, or maybe you did do that and cut it out the video. But I just wants to say a 912 does use quite a bit oil, so you're quote 'it's not using any oil' surprises me. I don't want to be the internet troll, just hoping you check your oil correctly for your safety. ;)
@thomasaltruda5 ай бұрын
I believe they call that “burping” the engine, and actually you aren’t “filling the sump” with oil. You are using engine compression past the rings to pressurize the sump and move the oil OUT of the sump and into the oil tank. I’ve never seen a 912 or 914 use any oil, so I don’t know if your experience is a sick engine. Also if you are taking 20+ blades on the prop to get the gurgle, try turning the engine really slow, you sorta hold the compression so it has time to leak past the rings and pressurize the crankcase. You might be able to get the gurgle in 5 to 10 blades.

What do you mean the Rotax is not a real engine. it's got Pistons valves and and a fuel ratio management system. It runs a lot smoother than your "real engine" which will make it less noise and vibration fatiguing over long flights.
@cwhitty055 ай бұрын
@@submechanophobia768the Rotax engines have a bad reputation for being unreliable. I’ve never flown one, so I can’t attest to that, but around the FBOs and flight schools, there is a lot of distain for Rotax engines.

Airspeed: 143 Kts GS: 117 kts You have 26 kts headwind Should have made 180° turn for fun so you could have a 26 kts tail wind and GS would increase significantly.
