why was there not an air filter on your carburetor at time 1:42? I had an old 85cc dirt bike that I tried running without an air filter and it highly disrupted the fuel flow pattern causing it to starve due to air blowing it out of the carburetor and not into the cylinders. great landing as well.

I'd set the carbs richer ...it sounds near perfect running setting needs more at alt. And the engines going to cool down drastically

Daren beautiful build. Beach greyy tyres also work and is very light they make it in South Africa i believe

Hi Daren what type of landing gear did you use type of metal and is it worth to put bungee on or spring landing gear. Do you know the Beachcard wheels? I see Backyardflyer used it on there landing gear.

How tall are you? Do you have plenty of vertical room in cockpit?

How tall are you?

Good stick and rudder skills. Combined with quick good decision making skills. Happy that you are safe.

Is this 100% plans-built? It looks more beautiful than most legal eagles I see online.

please get an air filter for your carburetor lol all it takes is one piece of debris to have a bad day

The ultralight people have been putting golf cart tires on their aircraft for off-field Landings for years and they are considerably cheaper and a very good balloon tire for that purpose just something to think about

you have a 2 seater plan ?

Hoping the reason for the sudden stop of videos wasn't an accident...

Do you still fly?

what engine is that ??

are you sure that filter is right. usually you can see the dirt on the outside. the eay you have it the dirt is being collected on the inside of the filter

My 1st reaction during the flight part of the video was 'carb ice'.

Very nice. I almost bought a Legal Eagle last week but it had an engine on it that I have yet seen flown so I passed. It was bargain priced but 330 miles away from my location.

I guess it doesn't actually fly, huh?

May I ask what prop you have on your Legal Eagle? I have a performance propeller on my Minimax @DTMinimax, and Dominic and I have been trying to work through performance issues. I started with a 56x24 and wasn’t getting the performance so I sent it back and they cut it down to a 54x24. I definitely saw an increase in rpm up to 3100 static. But the performance in the air dropped. Just curious what you’re running?

Are you still flying this machine?

Hello, I would like to know what wing profile the Legal Eagle uses. I only know that it is a NACA but I don't have the number. I await a response. Thank you.!!

You have a great looking LE, I love your videos. Can you comment on what kind of gas tanks you used?

I wouldn't use that pump set up on my lawnmower never mind that thing .I value my life more the depending on Empi shit parts

HI..., your Legal Eagle is really beautiful... congratulations!!! I'm thinking about an antenna for my Legal Eagle and I liked your solution. Could you give me information to build it? Thank you very much from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!!

What prop are you running?

I have taught to loosen 8 mm. case bolts arround the oil pump.

Hey Darrin,Kevin here in Oklahoma,was wandering if you run an oil cooler on your Legal Eagle,I'm going to switch to Mikunis and Scott said I would have to run an oil cooler.was thinking cooler for motorcycle,would like to here your thoughts on this.Your plane is beautiful by the way.Thx

have you posted the second W&B yet?

Not good boss, needs to idle. J

Absolutely wonderful explanation videos on the weight and balance, much appreciated! I need to do this to my plane as well, but I fly a RX550 Beaver with the engine in behind me with a push prop, so my question is...would I still be able to put my datum on the leading edge of the wing? or what exactly would be different from the calculations from a tractor to a pusher? again, much appreciated, thank you.

Ultralight should be 350 lbs empty weight. 60hp 6gal. Goony light weight can be dangerous.

I’ve never seen a speck of debris in any fuel filter except the in tank fuel filter on a chainsaw and I’m sure it was sawdust. Could you use an in tank filter or bypass the filter all together? There’s no rust inside an aluminum or plastic tank.

3:18 You don't understand how that filter is supposed to operate. It doesn't have to fill up all of the way. As long as the outlet stays submerged in fuel, it's doing its job and flowing properly. You wouldn't run it this long in an aircraft configuration, but as it fills up with debris, the resulting back pressure will increase the level of fuel in the unfiltered cavity.

Hi i would apriciate it a lot if you could explain me how to choose the correct airfoile.

So refreshing to have a pilot refer to height above the ground and not altitude as the yanks always say!! Good job on the video!

Darren, on your downwind leg what airspeed and RPM are we seeing in this video? And is this the airspeed your airplane was rigged/trimmed for?

He has the filter upside down . I would not ever use plastic filters they leak I have seen many V/W engines burn. never put a fuel filter between the fuel pump and the carb. If you have a leak the pump pressure will increase the leak and cause the fuel to spray worse. I only use the Glass filters and you can buy refills in the long run they are cheaper.

Good job

air in a sideways mounted fuel filter is fine, 100k mowers in the usa run that way for decades

Great aircraft, but it does looks like pop-rivets failing on the seat-mesh could become a real safety issue at some point.

is your legal eagle an true ultralight? do you have a brs that is adding weight?

What size tires are they? What is the axle height? Where did you get the tires?

I love your videos thanks for posting them !!

Is that a Molsor engine? I think that how u spell it ? I've got 1 that I need to buy some cylinders and pistons for it has 100 hours on it but it rusted in the walls and I would rather just get new 1s do u know where I can find them it's a 93 93 I asked a vw guy and he said they didn't make vw in odd numbers and acked like I didn't know what I was talking about!! Mine has skat heads and roller rockers big push rods 1073 cc in 2 cylinders if i remember correctly so thats a stroker engine 50 hp is the ratings on mine thanks for any help 👍!!

Where's the grease to lube 😊

I didn't learn much at all. Was that your point.

My friend and I have been exploring how to get into general aviation affordably, so this was a very interesting option to review. This was an excellent, excellent walk around for a newbie. Concise, to the point, and full of information. Bravo and thank you. It's a beautiful airplane.

Why in the world would you not use brass fittings? I don’t even use plastic fittings on my motorcycles. I also doubt those fancy colored fuel lines are not approved for gasoline.

Hagen-Poiseuille law in fluid dynamics: the pressure drop through a long cylindrical pipe is proportional to 1/R^4. E.g. a reduction of the diameter to 50 % is equal to a reduction of flow to 1/16 which is rather counterintuitive!
