Thanks for watching...

Takes a brave person to do that work

Yes weather is nice now, but most of the year 110 F. VERY HOT in the desert.

I think thats why I have an Afib today

When drill begins bringing up water number of feet of pipe used.

You and me both!

Always interesting when the driverless take you places

Heat stroke time of year

Keep praying my friend, it will happen. Its a beautiful experience

The will of God! are you for real, LOL LOL

Its like the Sinagua peoples of 1100 A.D. who built the cliff dwelling known as Montezuma Castle and then they just walked away from it several hundred years later. Like building an airplane, the spirit tells you to do it, and the spirit tells you when to walk away hahaha

Philippine Rhode Island Reds are generally the best egg laying chickens.

My pleasure!

Its been 4 or 5 years but as I remember it was around 70,000 peso. The contract was for 125 feet but I think they had to go down 150 feet so it was a little more. I don't think it included a pressure tank or pump.

Yes

Glad you like it, the videos I make are only to document what I'm doing out there at Delta 4 and not intended as information for building another builders aircraft. No two aircraft are built the same as they are basically built part upon part and no two builders are alike with different skill levels and such. I'm an A&P mechanic but that would not make me a great aircraft builder. I pause and double check and triple check work and catch many mistakes in the building process I just fix the mistakes or problems by re-installing or re making the part or getting a new part if need be. The main thing to consider or ask oneself after each part is installed is it done per the plans and is it airworthy as the main goal is to get an airworthiness certificate and know that you built a strong safe airplane. I found sometimes that it tell myself if I did it again I would have done this or that in a different order to make some things easier later on in a build. Anyway sorry for ranting on in this reply. I will shut up now. LOL.

It’s always useful to me to see how others have done it. Everyone has a slightly different technique that still ends up in an airworthy plane. The different ways builders get the job done is fun to watch.

@@keithgempler4479 Yes for sure

I will try to meet up one of these days. Starting to get hot so I will be working when its cool at night and early mornings when I get the chance to get out there.

how flamable is air craft covering fabric...can you get me a hint?? I ask because of a survival show where they apparently accidentally set a wing on fire because they used it as a roof over the fire

Thank you

Thank you for😊 the comment

@@aviationfarming7769 suree poo❤️❤️

Build Boss Dude is Unique... Abide On My Friend

Its not nice to voice shame people. 😝

@@aviationfarming7769that was meant to be constructive criticism.

Its a joke brother, I sound like Elvis when I sing anyway I will sing you a song on the next video.

😄

Thank you for such a beautiful comment ❤

sawhorses we purchased at Home Depot. We put bolts thru the holes already on the sawhorse leg feet then thru a 2x4 then thru casters. Casters purchased also from Home Depot. Work top was built and 2x4s the length of the work table top under the top screwed into the length of each side of the tabke The 2x4s fit into slots on the horses. The sawhorses have adjustable slots that the 2x4 frame under the table fit into. saw horses also adjustable for height. All this makes the table portable and moveable anywhere you want it and when done with it it comes apart and stores easily. The casters and 2x4s on the sawhorse legs are can also be removed by just taking the bolts out and you can be left with the original saw horses to sell them or store them in a small space. The work table was very easy to level using shim here and there. We also built another one using one of the kit shipping crate tops saving the cost of wood for the work top on that one which was built the same way. The forward fuselage was built on a smaller work table and the aft fuselage built on the large portable table, then when it was time it was easy to mate the two together as required. We also built a wing on the large table and built the other wing on the other large table built from the crate top. We then built a portable wing sling to hold and store both wings until ready to fit the wings to the fuselage. Wing sling we built has larger pneumatic tires, wings are somewhat heavy and needed the larger tires to support that kind of weight and made the wings easy to roll out of the hanger when moving them around.

But very rewarding also...

Awesome SeabeeSTOL good luck and stay in touch BBD (Build Boss Dude)

No high dollar stuff destroyed. Maybe 20.00 bucks worth total on windscreen side trim and couple feet of some angle aluminum. When your parts come make sure they are correct and for the aircraft your working on right away. Example part numbers for each model plane may only have slight difference C75-6744 vs 75-6744 in this example the C75 stands for Cruzer and the 75-6744 would be for like a different model Zenith. Several times we did not get needed parts in shipments but no big deal just inform Zenith and they are great about getting them to you. Work at a pace good for you not what others do. I take a long time because 1. I am an A&P aircraft tech and very detailed and will fab on parts till I am satisfied with them. 2. I only work maybe couple days a week on the Cruzer. Follow you plans and make sure nuts and bolts and rivets are the correct ones in the proper place. There you go brotherSTOL thats my main advice Have Fun BBD, Oh one more thing Seabee if you get the tool kit from Zenith it has worked out well for me but as for any Pneumatic tool such as the rivet pneumatic tool that you may be using make sure it is properly cleaned and oiled with proper oil before using. The last thing you want is to be riveting in a crazy position and have it freeze up on you when pulling a rivet then your stuck with a rivet tool hanging from your rivet which won't release. Food for thought --- BBD

Always test fit parts you fab on or the ones you don't because (If they don't fit properly there is something needed to be done so it will fit) Im done on this reply for now. Hahaha sorry for the lengthy replies I just can't stop......

Get plenty of clecos of each size more than you think you need. aaaand never rest your cleco'd parts on the cleco's it makes for a not too pretty dented rivet installation...

All the Mckinley Farm students give you a big Thank You with lots of love.

Such beautiful people, they deserve happiness.

Its hard to imagine the ups and downs of building an airplane until one has done it. I try to stay focused and relentless in quality which stands up to my standards, however we are all human beings and not perfect by any means. Things you don't like will happen along the way.

Thank You Sir

It has been 6 years ago so I do not remember how much. I recall it was paid by the foot of drilling and the water well was over 150 feet deep.

Check Aircraft Spruce, or google search for it.

You know english?
