Yamaha Phazer Conversion For The Budget Bushplane - Budget Bushplane EP3

[@builditright4666]

Ha someone gave you a thumb down, bet they just bought a welder from Harbor Freight. Nice video man keep it up.

[@prof.heinous191]

Really useful pioneering work - looking forward!

[@davidrobins4025]

You have made a lot of progress with the completion of your motor mount. I'm watching for the next videos that will mark your progress further.

[@davidlegault9745]

Looking good Ian, thanks for the Christmas Eve video. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. Regards, Dave

"Lets get back to work".... someone's been watching Mike Patey.

[@travisw9071]

who hasn't!

[@bkairys]

Nice Work Ian! Cant wait to see this baby fly!

[@ianslife210]

Maybe one of these days we can end up at the same event so both of the KZbin phazers can be in the same place. Oshkosh 2021? High Sierra 2021? Who knows.

[@bkairys]

@@ianslife210 That would be super fun! Hopefully they have osh in 21!

[@prof.heinous191]

@@ianslife210 Looking forward to you two comparing notes!

[@MrHanowski]

Thanks for sharing your work. Interesting looking gearbox!

[@KyleCowden]

Great soundtrack. Fascinating watch.

[@theependleton]

Thank you so much for these! Keep them coming! I’m looking at building one of these kits and I also love the Yamaha! Merry Christmas!

[@chrisbowpiloto]

Very nice, I look forward to seeing the rest of the build! Did I miss the time lapse of you guys standing there pointing at it for two days? That sounds amusing 😉

[@doncatchpole7370]

Wow, lots of work. Good job

[@robertlafnear7034]

I'm about two years behind on this so my observations might not be correct....... that engine looks like it needs to be glass beaded ( walnut shell is really good too ) back to a better looking condition... as for the Chinook,... 10+ on that great little plane.... should be Lots-O-Fun to putt around in.😁👍👍.

[@olsonspeed]

I agree lifting an engine is asking for back problems. I use an A-frame ladder and cachet strap to suspend the engine in place while I figure out the position and mounts.

[@rafiqsaid4297]

Enjoyed your video. Marry Christmas and I like the idea of a budget plane and you try to keep it a budget plane . Not like the Scrappy plane LOL. Looking forward to see how it flies with the Yahama 4 tact.

[@ianslife210]

I forgot to do the money breakdown in this episode! I knew I forgot something! I’ll get that updated on the next episode so we can see how we’re doing towards our $20k goal.

[@rafiqsaid4297]

@@ianslife210 cool. Most important it is quality and safe

[@BlueMax333]

Practical and useful info. Thanks!

[@plane-fuzz]

it will be a great plane now I LIKE IT!

[@Conn653]

Great work Ian! Just a thought......How about adding 2 supports from the middle of the engine mount(horizontal side) angled down to the base of the 'Mast'. This should add strength to keep the engine from self yawing. Merry Christmas!

[@ianslife210]

There’s a few reasons I didn’t do that. You’ll see how it all works in upcoming videos!

[@HeeHawHighlander]

First like👍🏻😂 Merry Christmas Ian! My Apex harness is working flawlessly

[@jamesbromstead4949]

Merry Christmas to everyone.

[@joseruiz-Joecool]

Waiting on the next one!

[@berniemccann8935]

I imagine that it'll be renamed "Clutter Surviver" !!

[@bernardjones6162]

Smart move on the torque bracing!

[@chrisw7017]

Nice job

[@RADThird1]

Good Work!

[@TenorDad]

If you haven't already solved the firewall dilemma I recommend a NOMEX honeycomb, sandwiched in carbon fiber. It's fire resistant & super lightweight.

[@twilightsparklegirlytl2796]

Cool stuff

[@couchfighter]

DUDE AWESOME!

[@levarris14]

awesome build ! my question: from where is this piece of rusted and corroded yamaha engine 😯😳? from a motorbike ? but: yamaha phazers always had 4 cylinders !

[@mmichaeldonavon]

Just curious. After your plane is complete, will it require another DAR Inspection due to the engine change, plus? I noted the AW was in 2005 with a Hirth. Really enjoying your build. Thanks.

[@henrycallis7533]

Hey Ian, awesome build! Did you have to re-evaluate your cg with the added weight of the phaser and it’s mount? Wondering if this would leave you aft heavy or if you took this into account when you shortened the motor mount spar. Cant wait to see you get it in the air this summer!

[@ianslife210]

I believe we will be in range. I’ve run the numbers on it and we’re close but should work out.

[@shawnwedge5833]

Why is the cover off the 215 Vulcan? I bought one to give it a fair try and honestly haven't had any problems yet. And I am welding a tube chassied race/street car with it.

[@ianslife210]

The drive circuitry for the wire feed died completely and harbor freight doesn’t sell parts. Waste of money, only got about two years out of it.

[@1950harleycharley]

just ONE loser disliking this video! He must be mad that his Harbor Freight stuff crapped on him.!!

[@superbill9066]

Ian, do you think the sj with the motor mount underneath would be easier to build?

[@ianslife210]

Debatable. The Yamaha is tricky as the mounts are halfway up so I’m not sure if that would be an improvement or not.

[@danielfager7543]

Wondering , what ever happened to this 80hp Yamaha conversion ??

[@c21delta94]

Any news on your Rockhopper project?

[@ianslife210]

I need to do a video just explaining this since I keep getting asked about it! The rockhopper literally outgrew my shop. We’re working on space to continue it but it won’t fit in there any more so it’s on temporary hold while I work on space.

[@stevecarlisle3323]

Hmmmm, cutting off some top tube may allow the engine to fit better, buy now there is nowhere for the rear wing spars to attach 😔

[@RumblestripDotNet]

Did you get some new memory cards for Christmas? Seems like all your others don't like to hold data.

[@ianslife210]

I’m genuinely not sure where that time lapse went. May have not turned the camera on or something. Trying to catch everything in a small shop is a pain! The camera is always facing the wrong way when something interesting happens.

[@RumblestripDotNet]

@@ianslife210 The worst is recording a video with a GoPro and the plugged in microphone adapter and then the audio not coming out. Ask me how I know far too many times

[@ianslife210]

Fingers crossed I haven’t had that problem much with my gopros when I use them for in cockpit audio.

[@FourthWayRanch]

good luck finding a phaser motor, there's lots of sleds available for 3-4K but you have to buy the whole thing just to get the motor.

[@OldBeaterGarage]

1 just sold locally for $1000 and another was listed at $2000 that looked new with low miles a few weeks ago.

[@nowtrap5709]

how mutch of hourse power is this engine?

[@LemonDrizzleGang]

Isnt it a Fazer

[@gmoac]

ultra reliable engine..for the road...too revvy for the air..i think..

[@OldBeaterGarage]

the road? The phazer is a 500cc Snowmobile engine; still revvy as it makes peak power at 11,000 RPM, but if you've ever ridden a sled it's WOT for probably as much time if not more than an aircraft. Obviously a gear reduction is required for the prop. I've never flown anything other than Lycomings or Continetals with 80 year old technology, but if I were to fly experimental I would be confident in the Yamaha.

[@TheAvGeek-kl3zf]

Which is the cheapest Ultralight aeroplane in the current market?

[@ianslife210]

Honestly if I was in the market right now I would get on the aircraft sales Facebook groups and keep an eye on barnstormers for deals and not set my sights on one single model. If you are flexible there are deals all the time.

[@hillbilly4christ638]

The absolute cheapest is a self build. My all time favorite build is Brian Austein's lightning bug. There are several videos on KZbin. The guy started as a RC guy and built his ultralight using that knowledge. It is a shame there aren't any plans because I would definitely build one. It looks funky but is the coolest ultralight out there and that is saying a lot.

[@drlescrawford897]

Wondering where you are based..ty.

[@ianslife210]

Houston. I fly out of a few airports around town.

[@drlescrawford897]

As you know the engines in the chinook (all the ones I have seen) have been mounted upside down, that avoids the plug access issues. Couldn't this engine have been mounted that way?

[@drlescrawford897]

I suppose that's for a two cycle, with no crankcase oil, so that won't work on the phaser..answering my own question.

[@edwinkania5286]

What is going on with the rock hopper?

[@ianslife210]

I need more room to work on it any further. Working on that in the background.

[@maulanamaulana9373]

What engine?

[@ianslife210]

Formerly rotax 582, now Yamaha phazer.

[@maulanamaulana9373]

@@ianslife210 thanks broo Nice video

[@sweetweedtv7758]

Это великолепно удачи.

[@1falconron]

how much does that engine weight.

[@ianslife210]

I have a before weight for the 582 and I’ll get a weight for the complete phazer when it’s all together but we’re anticipating close to the same weight.

[@MX304]

Your thrust line looks way off.

[@ianslife210]

If you mean that it appears to have a lot of “down” thrust to the boom, I’d agree by appearance. It’s a dead match to the 582 factory install however.
