Please no music when a'n engine runs.

[@jimsmalleimb7709]

Actually the music is annoying at all times as it often drowns out the narration.

Dear Jimmy, that little oil reservoir on top of the engine *is not the lubricant for your crankshaft, rods and pistons* ! The little oil reservoir only lubes your rotary vane which sits between the carburetor and the engine block, nothing else. So, please add appropriate 2-stroke oil to your fuel.

[@cameronhadley3504]

I was just about to type that, I hope he sees that comment!

[@davidclemens1578]

I don't believe they added fuel, so hopefully whoever put the fuel in put in the proper mix. So we can hope there was no damage during the start up. Good reminders though.

[@ptdave123]

If they are using the fuel that was left in the tank it is premixed. If they did not add very much regular fuel it might be ok for very short run

[@michaelpilot1000]

Registry for the plane lists engine as Bombardier snowmobile engine. I thought the Bombardier , which is like the 503. Had a fully lubricated injector system not requiring fuel/oil mixing. Oh well, nothing like watching Jimmy just try things without doing any mechanical homework. What could go wrong Except kill one of his future buyers..

[@cameronhadley3504]

@@michaelpilot1000 could be unless the pump was removed and fuel was just pre mixed, the part that is concerning is the lack of smoke on start up and warm up, regardless awesome video

[@skadar]

Looks like an "Early Bird Jenny", which is a 67% scale replica of the Curtiss Jenny. Your viewers should know that this is absolutely NOT an actual WWI aircraft. It is an experimental, amateur built aircraft, designed by Dennis Wile... and it was probably built 80 years after WWI, in the early 1990s. :) The real Curtiss Jenny is quite a bit larger, and there are still a few original flying examples still around.

[@chevelle-pi1bn]

Hey guys be sure the oil injection is working correctly , it did not appear to be smoking out the exhaust at all and seeing its a 2 stroke you would think it would smoke a bit for sure . 👍

[@Watson1]

I concur. I had a 503 and it always smoked at startup.

[@justpauls]

Two strokes need oil in the fuel. I was hoping it wasn't going to seize while he ran it up.

I have no doubt It will come .... needs the permission of wife and family I suppose. In usa exist these flying communities like John Travolta is living where u have the plane directly front the house. Wills be awesome such place with lots of aviation crazy folks around

[@jwyzdm]

And don't forget those old parts hauler trucks in the back ground. The site of one of those old trucks hauling an old fuselage down the road would be priceless. Although I am hoping all those planes fly out of there.

[@1nvisible1]

*Safety tweaks:* *1. Suspension: Add two new inner tubes, two new 20" bicycle tires, wheels, and hubs perhaps 32J with three cross, new bearings and new bungee wrap suspensions.* *2. Energy management: Replace cowl edge foam with 4" foam especially in front of pilot. Replace metal windshield screws with nylon fasteners so your face can shear them off.* *3. Stuctural rigidity: Inspect all cables for any corrision in particular the eyes for abrasive wear. I always find one.*

[@HeikosGarage]

Jesse works pretty well together with you. You should keep him around as your Jimmy's world sidekick.

[@RudixSA]

Well done! Just a note, the engine does use pre-mix, the oil bottle you are seeing is to lube the rotary valve!

Up to your usual standard, love seeing these home built aircraft back in flying condition. BUT please get rid of the music, it spoils the sound of the aircraft. More aircraft and less music. Cheers Wiz

[@jackreed3445]

I flew several types of Quicksilver ultralights with Rotax engines. All of them required premix oil fuel. Great engines with little failure. The only problem I had was a spark plug wire coming of mid flight. The engine was mounted with the jugs on the bottom and we had to put bungie cords across the wires to make sure they stayed put. The 532 engine was water cooled but the 503 was my favorite. Hand starting them on a cold morning with no choke was a chore. Real great little aircraft that are still in production I think. We rounded up cattle and herded wild horses for local cowboys with ours. Take care, have fun, jack

[@Avi8tor857]

I don't think he has his tail dragger endorsement (he said he wasn't legal to fly the cub in the other video). Perfectly legal to run one up without the endorsement but little things like keeping the tail planted etc is important things to know...

That's an old 582 Rotax, possibly a skidoo conversion since it doesn't have dual CDI. The 503 is air cooled with air shrouds and a cooling fan. ;) Also, that is not the oil injection reservior. It is to lube the rotary valve only. I don't see an injection pump so that motor has been converted to PRE-MIX only!! 50:1

[@vincentmolloy5660]

Yeah and it should have been smoking like he'll on startup if it was getting enough 2 stroke oil. I don't like those engines. Had many failures on the crankshafts in the past. Even the VW flat four would be a more reliable motor than that one.

@@vincentmolloy5660 They are great engines if maintained properly. I have three Rotax here, zero problems. Two have oil injection, works fine. My 503 was converted to pre-mix before I got it, so I left it alone. Hundreds of hours of reliable fun.

[@battz99]

That's not a 503. It looks like a 532 water cooled. Unfortunately it's an old engine and spares are becoming increasingly hard to come by which will reduce the value. As posted elsewhere, you MUST use 50:1 2-stroke premix as that little reservoir is for lubricating the rotary valves ONLY. Rotax 2-strokes are pretty bullet proof and if you use straight Mogas it'll fly for a surprisingly long time as an old friend found out with a 582 that has the same lubrication (as does my X-air) but it will seize eventually.

When I was a kid a local doctor was hand propping his plane, as he pulled the prop through he bent over at the waist and when the engine caught the prop came around and took off the top of his head.

If there’s not much smoke it just means it probably has the correct mixture I have run rotax for years and if properly mixed and when warm it won’t smoke much and a two stroke without oil mix won’t run very long.

no, the Luscombe and Cub have the same engine. The Luscombe goes about 30 mph faster.

[@jimchuk8511]

As long as it's already been brought up, I'll say it as well. Should have seen lots of smoke when it started. It seemed flooded when it finally took off. That little oil bottle on top is just the oil reservoir for the rotary valve shaft. It doesn't supply oil to the fuel. Also, it's almost for sure a Rotax 532. They came out before the 582. Single ignition, liquid cooled. There was a 462 single ignition, liquid cooled but they are really rare. I've owned and flown two 532s and three 582s
