Slideshow, How I built Minisport SD-1 - Small and funny Ultralight airplane

[@barryp4700]

Congratulations on a magnificent build! It must have been an amazing feeling when the wheels lifted off the ground for the first time.

[@Hollasus]

Thank you, I dreamed for a year that it would fly and one day it was true and I actually flew my plane.

[@n2b998]

Great build, great video. Have fun!

[@stolaircraftsuyanto9728]

Amazing...have fun in the sky, brother👏👏👏👏

One beautiful build! Wonderful! You did an amazing job with this airplane. I had often thought of this Minisport, but opted for the EROS 1650 Minimax. I like yours much better. I did fly the EROS for over 13 years and over 750 hours. And, you can't build your own plane unless you have "a ton of bricks." True. :-) Thanks for posting. N6395T

Hi Michael! Thank you for your comment :-) I wish you much success with your minimax.

[@TDCflyer]

Oh yes. This is probably among the best times of your life. Been there, done that. Loved it. 😁

[@Hollasus]

Hi TDC, you're right! I think I want to build another piece. :-D

[@WillTunna]

@@Hollasus Just received my kit, what was the biggest challenges? Any tips? Just finished my rudder build and I'm hooked!

[@Hollasus]

@@WillTunna Hi, Will. The biggest challenge was to finish the plane :-D If you have specific questions about how to proceed in some cases, I will advise you at facebook.com/stavimSD1 . I wish you good luck, this aircraft is a joy to build and fly. :-)

[@TDCflyer]

@@WillTunna There are several biggest challenges. The first would be to actually set up a perfectly level table large enough to build wings and fuselage on it. If you mess that up and the table is slightly twisted (even just 1 or 2 mm) your wings and fuselage will be twisted as well. Buy a precision level and learn to use it. Another biggest challenge will be to properly set the wings in the fuselage (especially the rear bolts) so the wings are at the precise same angle of attack. Then there's the fin to be set in the rear of the fuselage - the spar needs to be set perfectly straight, otherwise not only the fin, but also your elevator will be crooked. You notice the pattern? Up to here the challenges are all of the one-chance-only type: mess it up and it can't be undone. The best advice I could possibly give: Be very precise with everything you do. Rather spend a few days on solving a challenge with utmost precision then messing it up. I was extremely proud when my plane was testflown by a very experienced SD1 pilot and he told me "built straight, flies straight" with a beaming smile on his face. I haven't changed the setup ever since.

Kamo je jedno jak hraješ 😊😊😊hraješ dobře mimochodem 😍😍😍😍ale tohle je pro me totální úspěch fakt top top každý den ti klidně smeknu protože dokázat postavit něco od základu do konce do čeho se dokážeš posadit a odlepit od země ….. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 fakt hustý já té měl porad za toho typka co mas na discordu 😀😀😀😀😀

Nice fiberglass work

[@Hollasus]

Thank you :-)

[@GrantOakes]

That Briggs and Stratton needs a PRSU from Ace Aviation! You can get a very reliable 35-40hp from it and that would really improve performance, especially in climb. Excellent quality in your build!

[@Hollasus]

I built the plane very light (114Kg), the climb rate is 600ft/m. I know of kits that improve performance, but I don't want to do it at the expense of reliability and fuel economy. Thank you for your comment :-)

[@JohnMGreiner]

Awesome !

[@julianoswaldobonillaordone5887]

hello, good job. I am very interested in building this plane in Colombia, could you help me get the plans to start the construction, I live in Colombia. Thank you

Kde jsi sehnal vrtuli?

[@Hollasus]

Je to vrtule Helix, dá se normálně koupit.

[@folgee7368]

Wow this is incredible and beautiful! I do have one question. Why type of engine did you use?

[@Hollasus]

Thank you! This is SE-33 from www.sdplanes.com

[@FPVunlimitedDronesFPV]

what is that pink or red paint you use on the wood of the wings, is it a wood preservative? a varnish?

[@Hollasus]

I used a polyurethane wood varnish first, then used a leveling putty on top of that. The final paint is classic car paint with hardener.

[@FPVunlimitedDronesFPV]

@@Hollasus nice job!!

Dedication 😊

Krásna práca, chuť by bola, len keby bol čas.. Staval si zo stavebnice, alebo len podľa výkresov?

[@Hollasus]

Zdravím, stavěl jsem ze stavebnice, díky tomu jsem se mohl věnovat pouze dřevu. Lamináty a kování, které je součástí stavebnice a jsou v perfektním zpracování by tu stavbu jistě dost protáhly :-) Když si člověk po večerech najde 3 hodinky tak se to dá, napasovat, zalepit a další den se pokračuje dál. Ať se daří :-)
