AirBike Update- Wing Spar

[@toddfranke1712]

Thanks for the video just getting wood together for my spars your info is great the plans require alot of study. Look forward to your next update.

[@ashleyknight723]

Great advice on checking, rechecking and checking again the angle cut on the tops of the spars - you are quite right, cutting in the wrong direction is so easy to do. I have RW tip, RW fuselage, LW tip, LW fuselage, top and bottom written all over my spars to make sure I didn't get them the wrong way round.

I was really worried I would cut something wrong. Had a page of notes to make sure. :)

Good job showing telling, keep on putting it together see you next time see ya bye.

[@dagtheaviator]

Thanks, will do!

[@heliglass]

I like the addition of carbon fiber tow!

[@gregorywatkins1570]

Just a heads up I don’t know where you are getting your prop from but I ordered mine for the legal eagle and the back log is high and they are taking orders for May next year so you may want to get your ordered as soon as you can...

[@dagtheaviator]

What prop did you order? I am going with the Power Fin "E" 3 blade.

[@ashleyknight723]

How are things going? Love to hear some news

[@dagtheaviator]

I will make a update video soon. AirBike is only on pause due to my garage being so cold. Once it warms up this spring, full-speed ahead. :)

[@ashleyknight723]

@@dagtheaviator Looking forward to it. Not easy working in cold workshops/garages/barns

[@Crowderth.556]

Think I could build an all aluminum wing

[@engineerahmed7248]

Searched your entire channel but couldn't find YOUR BEAUTIFUL C130 FLIGHT FOOTAGE...Plz upload that

[@dagtheaviator]

The C-130 was sold to a guy who is making it a Turbine. I sold it about two months before the maiden.

[@gregorywatkins1570]

I am getting a prop from Frank Johnson it’s a 2 blade wood prop 56x22

[@dagtheaviator]

Thanks!!! What engine you using!! :)

[@gregorywatkins1570]

I am using a 1/2 VW full case with MAG engine that Scott at Hummel engines built for me it’s rated at 45 HP 😁👍

[@dagtheaviator]

@@gregorywatkins1570 What do you think the engine's weight will be?

[@gregorywatkins1570]

The Hummel engines website was not specific on engine weight it said 84 to 102 pounds I plan on getting the true weight of my engine after I order a hang scale today... when I get the true weight I will reply again.... I am using a mag and that’s probably a addition of 4 pounds to the overall weight but I will find out the answer as soon as I can get my hanging scale👍😁...some people opt for just the battery ignition but I feel safer using a mag myself... when complete My plane will be no heavier then 254 pounds I will make sure of that 👍😁...

[@gregorywatkins1570]

Lenards plane was 10 pounds underweight 244 pounds but some of the 4130 was heavier then what is on my plans I’m building from that is mostly 4130 .30 Crome molly landing gear .49 wall

[@keithschneider6348]

You said 4 spars it's only the front spars get the cut 10 degrees

[@dagtheaviator]

Thanks for pointing that out.
