[@brunokaplan7258]

Two videos in less than 24 hours? Hell yeah!

[@Twobarpsi]

Yessir!!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for being here. Glad you enjoyed it

[@goldilocks1711]

Cute little engine + cute cats = great video. Note: Fan Containment is an engine certification requirement. We do a “blade out” test (among so many others). Lots of videos out there if anyone wants to see it in action.

[@StigAviation]

There’s a great one with GE where they explode a blade while running in slow motion. It’s incredible to see

[@BigWest115]

Reverse the polarity of your battery case. It will turn in the correct direction.

[@StigAviation]

I’ll try that. Thank you

[@DannyGloudemans]

I was about to say the same thing, just change the red and black wire

[@fabimawn]

That's the beautifull thing about brushed motors :)

[@airborne5607]

This is a neat little idea. "Stig Projects". Maybe you should do more engine models in the future. Or aircraft models. It should be fun!

[@StigAviation]

I definitely would like to do more of this.

[@fuzzybarnes5124]

did you pay attention to the Torques? Did you safetywire all up? And most important: Where did you put in the Skydrol? 🤣

[@StigAviation]

😂 I got that calibrated elbow . Click click 🤣

[@cm9247]

🤣

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Stig, I looked at this and thought “oh crap what if he can’t build it?” As usual you came through. One thing I learned about modeling. Don’t sniff the glue.

[@StigAviation]

That’s like saying don’t smell the jet fuel 😂.

[@njjeff201]

When I was flying RC I built a 5’ wing span trainer on the floor. I used book shelves for the wings. My trainer buddy was shocked how straight & true it flew all trims were centered. Needless to say I was shocked too! Just needed room of course for allowing glue to dry on the spars. They make scale model jet engines now but you wouldn’t want that smell in your apartment.

[@StigAviation]

I can imagine

[@stellarproductions8888]

That is a lovely jet engine model Stig, I also love that it rotates. And don't worry about the counter-rotation, it gives it character. Propeller driven aircraft need counter rotating blades, but even more so helicopters. Commercial jets don't really need counter-rotating jet engines as you know. Again, I love the detail of that model you put together, I think your supervisor approves, as do I. It honestly reminds me of the ones they have in aircraft museums you've attended, or perhaps a fancy flight school.

[@StigAviation]

You’re right. The museum has a engine cut away just like this

[@garyashcroft7645]

Hi Stig. Loving the channel. I recently broke 2 bones in my foot whilst on holiday, you are keeping me sane. I was supposed to fly out on a ATR 72 600, a new one, but, the airline has had a few issues with its fleet, so I ended up on a 37 year old SAAB 240, I had no worries about the aircraft age or saftey aspects thanks to your constant information about how the aircraft are maintained, and checked. Keep up the good work, I'am spreading the word about your channel to friends and relatives. Gary

[@StigAviation]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Gary. And thank you so much for being here. I appreciate you.

[@Bravo2Zulu]

Oh ya. Cool 747 fan blade you got there.👍🏻

[@StigAviation]

That’s my pride and joy. Love that blade

[@Bravo2Zulu]

@@StigAviation I would love to have a 777 fan blade.

[@eliott.6997]

Beautiful model! I might get it for myself at Christmas! Good work to your Kitties supervising too, they did an excellent job! Does American Airlines have a Bring Your Pets to Work Day? I'm just kidding... 😂 Great video Stig! Look forward to your next adventure!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you very much! And the cats were definitely micromanaging me 😂

[@KillingMachineMechanic]

12:00 the F135-400/600 Low Bypass Afterburning Turbofan engine with over 40,000 LBS of thrust (can’t give exact numbers due to confidentiality) is another engine that has counter-rotating compressors, it has to do a lot with balance iirc bc if you ever get the chance to see an F35 start up, not only do you feel that crazy vibration in your chest, you can see the jet moving from all the engine vibration bc it’s still starting lol, it’s quite cool

[@hunterwyeth]

I never thought about it before, but airplane engines trying to jump out of their airplanes does make sense considering I’ve seen hot rods try to twist themselves apart

[@StigAviation]

Very interesting. Thank you. I learned something new

[@tweed532DaveH]

Nice model, family business was a model shop for over 45 yrs,. Going to need to redecorate though after the bird strike test with no containment shroud..🤔🤭😲🤣🇬🇧

[@StigAviation]

😅 I see what you did there

[@stephenlowry4727]

Interesting video for sure. You also gotta appreciate that Eastern model in the backround.

[@StigAviation]

Ohh ya. That’s my 727 eastern. She’s a beauty

[@seagullsbtn]

Stig needs his own workbench/playstation!

[@StigAviation]

Definitely do. In much need of one

[@JAMESWUERTELE]

I have the same problem in my garage. 3 trucks and one bike. No room for a bench.

[@jeremylcamp]

5:27 looks like your fury engine specialist is coming to check your work and sign off on it!.

[@StigAviation]

[@Andrew_B25]

Yes! BONUS 🙌😃

[@StigAviation]

Fun 🤙

[@pauly540]

Funny how all cats like too investigate a box on the floor🐈😊

[@StigAviation]

Cats and box’s have some universal connection 😆

[@Bravo2Zulu]

I've been actually looking and wanting to buy one myself too. I've noticed also regarding the scams too on some sites. Would like to see them make other engines like a GE90. Very cool Stig!👊🏻👍🏻

[@StigAviation]

GE90 would be a beautiful addition

[@soupkitchen9785]

I 3d printed it myself and put it together. took me a long time but fun to put together

[@pauly540]

Is there a site with free stl's for this engine?

[@archibaldoctavion3851]

@@pauly540 Search for "BambuLab Jet Engine," there is a complete kit of parts (minus the DC motor) and a link to all STL's. I've printed and built one myself and it is a BIG model!

[@StigAviation]

I might have to get me a 3D printer too. Looks like fun

[@IAmVisco]

13:57 Depending on the type of the electric motor they include in the set, if it's a DC motor (should be since it connects directly to the batteries), changing the polarity can make it spin in the other direction. Usually works with repurposed PC fans, not sure here

[@StigAviation]

I’ll definitely try that

[@citibear57]

That's a beautiful model engine kit. I would have enjoyed assembling it when my eyesight was better, and I was able to build things with small parts 😢 What does the tall blade do? Is it just decorative (ie: part of the stand)? It would be great if there is/was a light behind it. Thanks Stig, as always, your videos are interesting - and entertaining 👍

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it. And the tall blade is a an actual fan blade from a CF6 engine that came off a B747.

[@citibear57]

@@StigAviation A real fan blade? How awesome is that?! Thank you, Stig.You're the best 👍

[@ForTheBirbs]

Nice. A bonus Stig adventure, with inspector-cat

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@richardschindler8822]

Ok. Q C has just determined this engine not acceptable. You need to go back and safety wire every last nut n bolt. Then report back. LOL. Great kit, nice job on the assembly.

[@StigAviation]

😅 I don’t think I can find safety wire small enough for that thing 😂

[@2xKTfc]

[@alsiffer4766]

That looks so fun!

[@StigAviation]

Indeed it was.

[@GlutenEruption]

Swap the batteries around or change the polarity of the connector (red to black and black to red). It's just a simple DC motor so that should change the direction

[@StigAviation]

Yup. I think shat should do it

[@robertsmith490]

Nice build

[@StigAviation]

[@ashrafshadid5870]

I like short videos like this, and I recommend making your videos shorter and posting them every other day instead of long videos every week. These days, it's hard to stay engaged for an hour. Also, congratulations on your “2024 Excellence in Aviation Maintenance Award! You are an inspiration in the aviation community. Good luck 👍🏻

[@StigAviation]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. It is an honor and a humbling feeling. As for the short videos. I’ll try my best to do so. It’s just a bit hard to make that many videos in a week. I won’t have the time, but I’ll do my best.
