Your OU32 model reproduction project is great. Good luck. I reproduced it as a radio-controlled model. I got advice from Kotaro Horiuchi on control technology. He said that it would be difficult to reproduce a radio-controlled model. But I made it happen. I'm still improving it.　kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXeziKuHpZ6GrJY

I recreated it with a radio-controlled model. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXeziKuHpZ6GrJY It took several years to develop a radio-controlled model that, like the OU32, is propelled by a jet pump and floats on hydrofoils. Its development required a hydrofoil mechanism and aerodynamic elements in the control system.

Nice job .... I'd like to do one the frame woukd be an issue all I have for a welder is a 110 flux core welder not surecif that's good enough?

Its a Bicycle ,not even close to being a Racer. I'm going to paint my lawnmower red and call it a Ferrari.

Very interesting. I think to build anither OU32 replica here, in Russia. But i will to use fully automatical height stabilisation. based on MCU, solid state gyro and industrial servos...

What happened with the OU32 garage home build? It is really interesting. Would really like to know.

How Made from home?

I think the build should stand alone I’m not in to painting on Pateena I think it cheapens such a beautiful machine

You’ve got an old bike with a new frame don’t fake it it’s cool just like it is

Brilliant work. I recently had the same idea and just found your example when researching. Gets the feel and the sound of a petrol board track but meets the laws. Would probably have better range than a battery only version.

Possibly, but for me it was an engineering exercise. Part of the challenge was to have it look and sound like a vintage M/C but be road legal for me to take down to the store. Here in NZ if you power it with a petrol motor it must be registered as a moped and carry a number plate. I have been pulled up twice and just ride off in electric only - to prove my point. I haven’t been charged yet!

youd be better off making it electric

Not quite. The Briggs and Straton turns a motorcycle alternator. The output is rectified and stepped up to 54 volts to charge the battery. This increase the range of the bike by some significant margin.

so from what I understand, the briggs engine is there simply for the sound, correct?

Why the belt from engine to the jackshaft and not just to the alternator if that Briggs doesn´t drive the wheel directly? I see that lever to disengage the the belt by losening the tension but that´s not convincing for a cop that has his brains on. Or am I missing something? (I built a bike with friction drive that can be disengaged by a lever, - cops didn´t like it :))) Nice patina though. Cheers

From one metal-botherer to another... This is superb! BRAVO mate. 🏆⚒️🇬🇧

That smells fantastic! 🏆⚒️🇬🇧

Did you manage to get the bike road legal?

Those tires ought to give a man hemorrhoids Ick.

nice. i am subscribed waiting for more updates on this project!!

Gostei do projeto

Exelent! Yo también construyó réplicas Te invito a suscribirte a mí canal Me gustan tus proyectos

Nice project. I'm building one with a 98cc 4 stroke lawn mower engine. I've posted a few videos on my KZbin channel

Nice job! No, really great work. I'm on my fourth one and I can see how much you have put into it. Super cool, can't wait for the ride video.

Wayne, amazing work. Such a beautiful bike and an appreciation of the work you have put into it all. These words are not enough to tell you how amazing of a creation this is! Excellent work! How about a ride video??

Nice job Wayne! I've built seven gas bikes and a trike all in early 1900's theam. I have kicked the idea of a hybrid many times but I always considered electric front hub drive with rear gas driven. I really appreciate the ingenuity of the alternator and mid drive. Would really like to see full view and maybe a ride video. Keep up the great work and watch out, as soon as you start riding it you'll want to build another 😉

Très bon sujet , dommage qu' il ni est pas de sous titre français !

Let's see some footage of the bike being rode. I'm toying with the idea of building a bike like this of my own.

Slap that bad boy on your CriCri :-)

Like my 80cc chineseum on my mountain bike.

Have begun gathering the components for my build. I will be buying the engine this week. I have the bike already. This is going to be fun. Riding the finished product will be more fun than the build.

Wayne: off topic: What happened to your zoomshare page with all your excellent CriCri build photos? Is there an alternative way to access them? CriCri builders all over the world use them..

Nice build, but isn't it ridiculous that you cannot use the gasoline engine directly?

Any updates?

Gonna be nice, keep after it. Mine's bout ready to disassemble & paint. Tom USA....

what is the this plane engine?

what is this plane engine?

this is a great plane.

Wow

Sure. Always happy to help if I can. wgbuttatgmaildotcom

Hi Wayne, I have started mine! how could I get in contact with you to ask for some Help in few details?

Haha I like the setup Did you litereally just shove the bike through the bottom of the float? Does it still have those little wing things

Wayne, do you have a video where it flies?

This Plane is amazing !!!

See other video landing with one engine out. I want one.

they seem scared of their own airplane haha, awesome channel :)

@FlyHighRC386 Thanks. Its pretty corny from a "still camera" Next one will be much better, with walkaround! w

Awesome :) get some GoPro HD cameras and film lots of shots and edit them :) keep posting, can you do a walkaround too?

Hi. It sure looks rough I agree. Actually it was recorded by accident. I forgot the camera had a movie mode. Thought I was taking stills. Its actually quite smooth and easy to fly. I'll replace the video with a decent one another time. W

What engines do you use;
