Will this SPACESHIP fly? - Carbon fibre Custom DASH

Quantum 912 please 👌

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Definitely, fantastic machine

[@helihandler]

And you’ve got one too, a great review of the first classic 912 ? And a great cruiser of the sky 👍

[@NatJB]

Aircraft reviews would certainly be interesting, identification of aircraft good for newly qualified fliers, progressing toward machines that are for the more experienced aviator who want to develop. Failing that just what you're doing now, it's all good stuff and I personally really enjoy it.

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Totally agree, I found it really difficult when buying my first machine, I hadn’t a clue. Would be nice to offer our thoughts for what they are worth

[@wwdlm02]

Love all of your videos Mark, especially impressed by the fastidious way you approach every job you undertake. You asked for ideas for future videos, love the aircraft reviews idea you mentioned but would also be fascinating to see the process involved in restoring crash or weather damaged aircraft … oh, and could you make a video on how to apply vinyl wraps and detailing to aircraft?

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

That’s very kind of you, we do take huge pride in what we do and it’s great to see it when it all comes together. We do have episodes lined up on graphics and crash re builds, so stay tuned 👍🏻

[@crazeclapz1302]

Plane reviews great idea Mark maybe some tips on what to look for when buying your first ship also.

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

I quite like the idea, definitely include what to look for, I could be the most hated man in Microlighting

Great video Mark, very trying but I bet it’s rewarding once done, you can see the results of your efforts. It would be good to hear your reviews of other craft. I hope the business grows. 🤞🤞👍

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Yes as with all jobs everything runs smoothly until it doesn’t, then all bets are off and you see where you end up. This one was a head scratcher for sure but very happy with the outcome come. I think plane reviews are likely by the looks of it

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

I think Giles was trying to find some OM-15 to sniff. Ideas for future video's. I think variety on this sort of channel is key. As well as anything else you cover, I think minor maintenance tasks that any pilot should be able to carry out are good. Example, what should a spark plug look like, what to do if it's not quite right.

[@paulieb796]

Nice. Looks like you confirmed Gile’s theory that electrickery runs on smoke!! Yes from me on aircraft reviews. Comparing and contrasting similar types would be very useful content. 👍

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Not a good day when you let the blue smoke out

[@tomcoryell]

I’ve been an Electronics Tech for nearly 50 years. It’s always scary trying to interface machines from different manufacturers for the first time. It sounds as though the manufacturer either mislabeled the polarity, or correctly labeled it and miswired it. Neither is a good scenario. Good job wiring that unit! Looks great!

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

It was definitely a challenge, looks simple until it goes wrong

[@tomcoryell]

@@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946 I’ve been in that situation nearly daily in my career. Glad to be retired.

[@flyskiride]

Great video mate. Love the carbon dash. 8 would like to see aircraft reviews don't forget flexwings though 😁

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Thanks for the compliments, I think reviewing is going to be a thing, and don’t worry, as a die hard flex’er there will definitely be Flexwings 👍🏻

[@ranbirsingh7666]

Great video .. couple months late . Thought I watch this before the latest one. The carbon fibre panel looks great. Definitely need more content from your channel. Would love to see general videos on maintenance. What you as pilot can do and what you need to get done by inspector . If that makes sense 👍

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

The joys of YT they’re easy to watch in any order. Thanks for taking the time too 👍🏻 It’s difficult to film everything we do and time consuming to edit but we do try to capture as much as we can. We’ve some great videos coming out over the next few weeks. And always happy for suggestions 👍🏻

[@musoseven8218]

You guys did a great job, looked awesome, yet CF being glossy concerns me in terms of reflections. Sage advice on choosing the correct systems💜👍✌️😊 I'd love to see reviews on various fixed wing microlights 👍✌️😊

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Yes was an initial concern too, but we cut so much out there really isn’t a huge amount of dash left. Also in comparison with the standard/original there really wasn’t a huge amount of difference in terms of glossiness. Yes there is a great choice of fixed wing Microlights & SLA’s going back too the old school machines, I think I’m talking myself in to it.

[@musoseven8218]

@@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946 Re your first point - understood and it'll be stronger too (than grp etc). Not an easy task to pull off - I've rewired cars and bikes, added new stuff and that's challenging enough, requires meticulous thought and execution. There are, as you mentioned, lots of cracking FW MLs, vintage to modern, any that pass through your workshop would be welcome viewing. There are channels that do similar with GA in the US, but tbh they are sales organisations, albeit one-man-bands so to speak. It depends on time and inclination of course 💜✌️😊

[@125brat]

Hi Mark, nice video. Where did you get the metal wheel trolleys the Skyranger was sat on at the beginning please, as I could do with some for my new Nynja when it's finished to move it around on?

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

We actually make those in house, one man lift makes moving planes around very easy. Email [e-mail] and Michelle will sort you out 👍🏻

[@125brat]

@@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946 Thanks, I'll send an email. I had thought of making some myself, but it would be just another job to do and I have loads of other jobs on the go.
