Onex Turbo Startup!

[@edmor1086]

I'm currently thinking about the 1X with the arrow V Turbo. I notice the hose clamps don't have a locking mechanism. Probly not necessary but I'm a double Virgo. The spelling above is my voice recognition not working that well but I'm not going back to fix it. Thanks for the video enjoyed it.

[@1bengrubb]

Yep 16 hose clamps hold all the intake on! My counselor had me twist wire all of them. Then as I worked on it I would not immediately put them back on. My buddy developed an air leak on his Aerovee so he encouraged me to replace the twist wires on my hose clamps. If there were huge push fittings that would be cool.

I am not familiar with nutplates. But I am a fan of rivet nuts.

[@nwflyer7197]

THANKS FOR A GREAT VIDEO. I'm doing the aerovee turbo also and this video really helped too.

[@1bengrubb]

discovered the 2.5 needle is the answer with the turbo!

[@nwflyer7197]

do you remember what needle came stock in the AeroInjector. That's the one I left in there. Thanks again.

It's best to have these test done outside. It doesn't take much fumes to explode if there is a spark near buy. Obviously you were lucky enough to not have that happen, but someone else could see this and not be as lucky.

[@1bengrubb]

Must not be too explosive---10s of millions of Americans pump there own gas into a car with hot exhaust pipes all around them (unless you are in oregon!!)

[@kennybarrow9835]

@@1bengrubb I don't think 10s of millions pump gas in their cars in a closed garage. I know of people who have been blown up with as little fuel as I saw when their hot water heater lit the fumes. all it takes is the right conditions and since you can't control everyone's conditions, it's best not to do dangerous things in a KZbin video..

[@1bengrubb]

@@kennybarrow9835 oh I think I got it.. your definition of dangerous and mine are not the same...I recommend for your safety you don't watch my videos. You may get ideas that exceed your capabilities. You definitely should not watch my test flight vid---I"m not a test pilot and I test flew my own aircraft(bad youtube example)! Oh man it was so fun--so satisfying--and soooo scary! My adrenaline had not been that high since...hmmm... ever I think.

[@kennybarrow9835]

@@1bengrubb I am surprised that you were able to build and fly anything. You don't seem to be able to accept constructive criticism from someone who has built and flown quite a few aircraft as well. Hopefully your luck will last a lot longer than your temper.

[@1bengrubb]

@@kennybarrow9835 no I'm just saying that our definition of dangerous is different.

[@christianjforbes]

Very informative and entertaining... thanks for taking the time to put this video together

[@feralchimp]

Congrats and nice build! Any heat issues between the turbo and other stuff packed near the firewall?

[@1bengrubb]

Yes it started melting my ignition module and battery. I thought the module was melting itself but it occurred to me that the water port of the turbo (not using) was pointing right at the ignition module shooting a jet of hot air on it. Made a thin shield for the battery and module and no worries.

[@feralchimp]

@@1bengrubb Glad to hear you caught it, and the fix was permanent!

[@jadams3427]

Great video. Hope it is all going well !

[@pjoshyjosh2]

Sent you text by phone. WHen EI and Mag are both running, the EI is in charge and ignites the fuel/air according to temperature and density altitude sensed. When you cut Mags off - you will hardly notice an rpm change. But if you cut EI off, you are now running on Mags only and with just the manual changes to Mixture based on rpm you can see/hear. So you will see 50-100 rpm drop (that is what I see on my RV anyway).

[@robwuesthoff3390]

It looks SUPER clean! how is it running today the end on 2019? I would love to know. And how did the vinyl turn out? Was there any measurable difference in aerodynamics?

[@1bengrubb]

Here is the update! still working on bugs.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5W9qWxqqKapl5Y&lc=z225jbxgguuxzz1nwacdp435sa3uj23m025jttirlp1w03c010c.1581097726900841

[@RyanRothVideo]

This is a great video, thanks for sharing it. I enjoyed seeing your progress and thought process step by step.

[@garflyboy]

How's it running now?

[@1bengrubb]

The turbo seized so I sent it in and it was due to rust from not running it enough.. they said it takes about one hundred hours to season the turbo so I'm going to add a port on the exhaust so I can squirt stable fogger into it after each run... Right now I'm finishing the vinyl and interior then we'll haul it to the airport!

Your radio is distracting

Spilling gas is fun, let’s do it again

Do you have a speaker wired to your starter that auto plays shitty music sometimes? lol I kept thinking wtf is this? We wanna hear that stuff man, not some weird guitar riffs.

[@abmbarry]

We are very interested in all aspects of the plane, .... Not the very intrusive, awful, .. drown everything musak!

[@1bengrubb]

Ha! sorry everyone is different. I have a couple different audiences and used the wrong music for the wrong audience! Next vid will probably not have any. I plan to do a vid on setting up the needle on the carb.

[@yabadabado3951]

Lots a talking about holding nuts. Really

[@1bengrubb]

there is just so many things to think about when you put yourself in a flying contraption...and so many things that increase or decrease the pain of the build....Really.

[@yabadabado3951]

Ben Jamin just messing with ya. Great video

[@Sonex1204]

I hope from the hearth you wont't regret buying the Aerovee.

[@kurupicai]

Cual es tu experinencia? lo recomendarías?

[@Sonex1204]

@@kurupicai compré el Aerovee. Es un problema. La potencia nominal de 80 HP nunca se alcanzó. Adicionalmente, después de cada vuelo, aparece un problema. Terminas más tiempo en tierra reparandolo que volando. Sonex tampoco te ayudará mucho. Terminé instalando un Rotax 912 de 100 HP.

[@kurupicai]

@@Sonex1204 Muchass gracias, ayuda conocer opiniones, estaba entre un onex con aerovee por su bajo costo o un zenair con un rotax... mayor costo pero creo mejor inversión... se aprecia la rta.

[@Sonex1204]

@@kurupicai no obstante un Onex con Rotax sería de pelicula

[@kurupicai]

@@Sonex1204 Gracias no sabía que esa podría ser una opción.... casualmente el espacio es pequeño y está diesñado para el aerovee... hay antecedentes?

[@MartinSage]

Pull that old unreliable VW engine and replace it ,(if you can afford it a modern reliable Viking Engine from 80 to 150 hp.

[@1bengrubb]

Looks like the Viking130 and aerovee turbo are same price...just have to get a mount....vw sure is easy to work on...and cheap!
