Minimax Winter Flight.

[@andrewdavenport7749]

I am in love with your panel! Those landings are BUTTER smooth!

[@arvilsbusmanis1215]

Thanks! But there I already made an upgrade... to be continued...

[@phillycheesetake]

HA! What a great little plane. You must be the menace of your town, I know I would be.

[@michaelsentenach5191]

Super cool!

[@wolfyk95]

Does Czechia have ultralight specific rules or is this considered the same as general aviation? Looks so fun.

[@marshal7102]

Do you have cabin heat and how did you hook it up, I have a minimax 1100R with a 447 Rotax open canopy but am thinking about installing an enclosed canopy.

[@arvilsbusmanis1215]

Yes, I have and made it such way: Because I have opposite engine, and exhaust pipe goes under fuselage,(see video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX_EfKRsq9udhck ) I welded round 2. layer of steel with oversize appr. 10mm, tilted front down and back upp almost as possible for better air flow, and in the rear highest point made 1 1/4 '' outlet for warm air and through the fuselage floor let it in with SCEET -5 flex. ducting, which goes to PVC pipe diam.1 1/4 used in plumbing. In pipe I made 2 holes diam 20mm,one blows warm air to legs , another one to hands (You can see it for very short time in video at 5:28.min). Rest goes to air inlets near instr. panel. Works very well, You just feel insufficiency during descent.

Ok thanks you have a really nice plane

[@JFerguson777]

What kind of compass is that? I really like it!

[@arvilsbusmanis1215]

Silva 70P marine. Yes, very readable, but also very sensitive - I had to add an extra magnet to compensate deviation from engine's flywheel magnet. And ,despite of all, I coul'd not fix it, in some directions it is up till 20*.(before it,was 40+) But it is a problem for all, I have flown with some planes You can 't trust to compass at all.

[@steveallen6763]

Is that lever in the floor on the left flaps?

[@arvilsbusmanis1215]

Yes. But I don't recommend it with original wings. When flap droops, it creates lot of drag You should correct with pedals. Very uncomfortable,even I say, dangerous thing. The only benefit is lift 6 degree option, it increases cruise speed appr. plus 5kmh. I made this option because I knew i shall have speedwings, there flap function works great in all positions.

vol en palier à 90 km/h à 4200 T /mn , en montée avec 6 m/seconde 5800 T/ mn c 'est tout bon un Minimax

[@sadloellecon9142]

NICE Minimax,summer fly to LKJI Jihlava CZ?

[@daviddorshak8811]

Is this a part 103 Ul?

[@arvilsbusmanis1215]

No. And in our country there are no speciffic rules for part 103. My plane weights 189kg

[@AV8RRobb]

Nice plane! Mount the cam somewhere fixed for better results.

[@arvilsbusmanis1215]

Thanks! I'll try, but I don't think there will be ''better result''! But this is just my opinion. I'll try to restrict head movements, when filming, what I absolutely ignored for "more realistic" movie.
