    It really sucks. I found a project plane, with extras, only to discover that there is so much that can not be done By a normal small back yard builder, just to make sure the plane is savable. At this point it's looking like the only affordable way for a poor man to fly is a used powered paraglider.

    At 6:34 he shows the hardware protruding through the “forward attach bolt hole”. The hole is approx 3-4x the size of the bolt diameter. Is that from wear or does a bushing or something go in there to reduce the internal diameter???? If the wing bolt blew the hole out that far its amazing the nut didnt slip through.

    This video is neither “great” nor “informative” contrary to the blind gushing of most commentators. 1. The camera is fixed in position and not once does it zoom in to show a better view of the sections being discussed. 2. There are no cutovers to show photos or cutouts of sections/pieces being described. 3. Speaker is robotic, dull and doesn’t understand how to present topics informatively. This video is terrible. Do better.

  • @clarkashby9237
    @clarkashby9237 Před 8 měsíci

    Couldn’t agree more that precision is vital. I practice on a lonely country road that’s pretty narrow with ditches on either side. I first just line it up in landing configuration then touch down and quickly fly away; after that I add longer rolls on the main gear then finally full stop landings. Makes all my backcountry landings as easy as at the big airport.

    I know the guy is an engineer from Blanik, but he got the number wrong. There were actually more than 3000 produced. I'm glad they came to the solution to keep these legendary birds flying. This brings nice memories, I learned to fly in one. Sadly, we have none of our four flying.

  • @gendaminoru3195
    @gendaminoru3195 Před 11 měsíci

    Very nice job. Did Lo Presti STC a new cowl. I have always hated that forward facing step behind the spinner in the model arrow - arrows with the Continental engine have a nicely streamlined cowl to spinner match - much less drag. It's jsut a shame to see people go to all the trouble with gap seals and fillet fairings and beacon replacing only to have even more drag created by that ugly mismatch. Oops I just realized this was 5 years old. oops
