I like the side of cowl access panels! And that rear baggage door...., I'll steal those ideas if I build another plane, or wreck my current one. 15:41 Those nylocs on the firewall/engine mount? They should be all metal type, no? 6 GPH at 105 KNOTS! That's still hauling ass as compared to an S-7, you're going to get jet lag, I'm curious as to the empty weight, I'll guess...., 970 lbs.

Those were supposed to be temp nuts haha. I need to change them out. I think you will be VERY close on weight. I was hoping/dreaming for 950, but expecting sub 975! I may fuel inject this when I can afford it to try and squeeze that already surprisingly good efficiency is! wild!

Man, I can't wait to see the end result of this and how the 'kits' come out. Why would you ever build a kitfox or other design with this guy out in the wild? I personally love metal wings vs fabric as well, and the windows and access panels folding away are all icing on the cake. I'll take two, where do I sign? :P

Get rid of those silly plastic brake lines and the fittings they use. For a couple more ounces you can have a regular aircraft brake system. Check out the Tunda tailwheel.

I am not criticizing you but have you ever made brake lines? That crazy plastic is what is inside the stainless braiding on aeroquip line as well as all other brands. The braiding is basically a protective cover.

@@edwomer2969 The protective cover is what is important!
@GravityKnightFlying 3 күн бұрын
I replaced my plastic only lines on my 7 with the braided lines, but the most vulnerable parts of the brakes on my 7 are the fittings which are down low and more likely to get hit with a rock or stick than the lines. This BLT has Berringer brakes and the fitting is up high and somewhat more protected which is the main thing to me. Anything is possible though. I may end up replacing the outside portion with braided, partially just to keep the plastic out of the sun.

G,day from Sydney Australia. Do you have any preference between shock absorbers or "bungee cord O rings to dampen landing impact through the triangle frame (landing gear)🦘🌏
@GravityKnightFlying 3 күн бұрын
These BLT's use Tony's shocks (TK1 racing) and they are the best absorption on an airplane I've ever seen. Unreal dampening and rebound. The only down side to these is that if they leak down, there is no spring and the plane leans overly badly. ACME built the shocks for my current turbo S7. They are good, though the dampening and rebound falls quite a lot short of the Tk1, long travel setup on the BLT. Partially that is due to the cabane limitations on the S7. But.. the ACME's have a spring inside that supports the plane even if you lose the gas/oil. ACME has been very good to me, so I will recommend them as a lightweight, strong solution for RANS, experimental cubs etc. Good stuff. Both companies build great products. The BLT though with these large TK1 shocks is just next level for how hard you can drop it in, not bounce, and not hit hard.
