Building A Plane | Building My Skyranger Nynja | The Engine Is In | Episode 8

[@frostyfrost4094]

Thank you for the update, keep plodding on

[@LetsGoFlying]

Will do! Thank you for watching!

[@mikemaxwell2591]

Much thanks to Mark no doubt, you were really happy about the engine mounted. Just amazed some your age did this, knowing there are more most likely, but you are the youngest I have seen busy building an aircraft. Well done! Be well.

[@thomaskiy8736]

Hi nick, really great to see you cracking on with the build. Very true what mark says about a clean uncluttered work space, just makes things much easier I find. Great little video keep up the good work.

[@LetsGoFlying]

Thanks 👍 It absolutely is. I am keeping on top of it now too! It is just too easy to put things down on the desk though!

[@dalemalpas4960]

Glad your back on track, and super motivated. The only way is up!

[@LetsGoFlying]

Most definitely! That's the plan anyway! Fingers crossed...

[@navmohindra579]

Well done man for keeping going. Can not imagine the discipline and dedication you need to do this 👍🏼

[@Astro_Apollo]

16:20 is the best part I love the dog in the background spinning

[@LetsGoFlying]

Ha ha ha ha - I wondered who would point that out!

[@andrewboothman6363]

Great to see Mark from Micro Maintenance make an appearance. Everybody needs somewhere to go for help and support sometimes. Thanks for showing us those trickier moments. Very exciting to see the engine installed. Well done!

[@LetsGoFlying]

Couldn't agree more! Mark is very experienced with Skyrangers and extremely helpful. I learned a lot from him too that day including to break tasks down into little goals.

[@darrenweston7549]

It's taking shape another cracking video 👍

[@LetsGoFlying]

Thanks 👍

[@downwindchecklist6567]

Fantastic! Each step of the build seems daunting, but mounting the engine is really a milestone. You have to be sure it doesn't decide to fly away from you on take off power. Well done and keep us posted!

[@LetsGoFlying]

Thank you - yes it was a huge milestone! I just need to crack on now and make some more progress slowly but surely!

[@ranbirsingh7666]

Great to see the build coming along especially with the engine being mounted. Also very nice for Mark to help you too… Well done 👍

[@Colin_Holloway]

Loving the videos so far and looking forward to the next installment!

[@dansladden]

Great job guys. Keep it up!

[@LetsGoFlying]

Thank you! Will do!

[@JodelFlyer]

Good progress Nick but always nice to have a helping hand and a prod in the right direction. 👍

[@LetsGoFlying]

Absolutely. I'm never too proud to ask for help if I'm struggling either. Mark was really helpful to be fair as well.

[@stratotramp6243]

Super collaboration.

[@LetsGoFlying]

Thanks a lot!

[@elgordo9999]

Nice work, I've watched Mark on his channel, not surprised the first thing he did was tidy up, guys attention to detail and cleanliness are spot on, a man after my own(OCD is a pain in the Ar@@ tbh) keep it up man look forward to next one sir.

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

👍🏻

[@LetsGoFlying]

Thank you! Yes I watch Wingnuts too - I had a feeling he was going to pull me up on that but he was completely right to and it makes life a lot easier.

[@musoseven8218]

Looking good👍😊 Everyone needs, pro help from time to time with a build, no shame in that - a wise move. I've rebuilt motorbikes, classic cars and leant a had with dad's MK1 kitfox build, discipline and determination are key, but knowing when to ask for pro help is equally important. Sometimes it's due to a complex issue, sometimes is down to a pro with specialist tools/equipment that can't be hired and are too expensive to buy for a once in a life time job/use. Sometimes it's just another pair of eyes and sage advice. Keep up the good work 👍😊

[@BjoernKarlsson]

Where's ep 9? 😉

[@davidcartwright5591]

Great progress being made Nick . You should feel very proud of yourself 👍. Greetings from 🦘🇦🇺

[@LetsGoFlying]

Thanks for watching David. I hope the weather isn't causing you issues over there. My brother lives in Sydney and he's said its terrible at the minute with the floods. I am a mixture of proud, impatient, nervous and excited but I guess that all part of it!

[@davidcartwright5591]

@@LetsGoFlying . Yes the weather is awful in Sydney , much worse North of Sydney though . Sydney is forecast to have possible 200mm of rain and gale force winds today . Who said Australia has good weather 😀

[@splangif]

Hi How’s the build going - have you passed it on or making good progress?

[@henryyandell3222]

Whoop whoop!!

[@LetsGoFlying]

And away...

[@IFlyforPie]

You need a glove sponsor Nick ! great vid as always !

[@LetsGoFlying]

I wish! COVID has pushed the price up 10 fold!!!!

[@jaideld1]

Why didn't you debur all those holes . When riveted they will not pull properly giving a problem later with the hole elongating and causing stress cracks

[@LetsGoFlying]

I did - just because I didn't do it on camera doesn't mean I didn't do it! The fitting you saw on camera was the trial fitting, it all came off again and all holes deburred. Rivets are all in nice and flush too.

[@Kintail_X]

I'm enjoying the build so far, so keep up the great work. Would be interested to know how many hours it takes you to build the Nynja just in case its something I ever end up doing..

[@nickaxe771]

What happened to the build.....been looking forward to update in its progress.

[@footyfan1248]

[@joedaskalakis7211]

The first 80% is easy, it's that second 80% that kills ya.

[@rustynuts4426]

[@stuartlowe7917]
