Part 3?

1st 1am

Put a speeduino on it and virtual Coffman start it, tons safer than this method

I didn't know that any single engine aircraft had counter clockwise prop rotation (from the pilots view). That would seem very confusing to the pilot.

I hope all the engines start quickly like this in first attempt 👍

Super 👍

What a beauty! Looks like it could be a BMW mono plane😊

Wear a glove

Lectric start.

Thanks Terry great video. I always tie the stick back too to keep tail from coming up....

I think I get an electric start.

Cool plane

Where is the V-twin video?

Engine sounds great!

Thank you Terry Can we have demo for dehydro wing spar setup

No braid line for oil pressure guage.No Pyrometer sensors and guage.no double ignition.No cyl head temp guage and sensor.i wouldn't fly this plane

Very interesting this. I have no background in aviation but have been around aircooled Volkswagens all my life and have built a number of engines. With all due respect, this looks very sketchy to me. And with respect, I really mean it. I understand a lot of people have put a lot of effort into these engines. I also undrrstand you builders trust these things with your life. But there are a number of things that stands out to me as a VW engine guy as weird and if someone can explain - please do so. 1. The 90 degree fittings where the oil cooler normally goes. To me, those look like a recipe for oil leaks and loss of oil pressure, especially in a high vibration application. No serious VW engine builder would exit and return oil that way. So why is it done like that in a situation where someones life depends on it? 2. The 94 mm cylinder is used in the VW world only in situations where the trade off in engine life expectancy and reliability is acceptable. Like drag racing or weekend warrior cars. What do you ga guys do to make them keep their roundness over time? 3. Those welds??? Again, no disrespect here. I am not here to bash or troll. I am genuinly intrigued by this contraption and looking for answers to the questions it raises.

I think that a half Jabiru engine with a turbo, could treplace a Rotax 503

What is the weight of this engine? What does it cost? Any chance to put a turbo?

Nice presentation - awaiting the next video.

What prop?

Terry, thank you for a great build video. It's always helps seeing it done by an experienced pro.

What are you using for carb heat.

My Glastar weighs about 1200 pounds empty with a tailwheel so most of the weight is on the mains. I may take take two bathroom scales side by side using a little bridge of lumber between them to allow a higher measurement as I expect each main to be about 550 pounds. Then just add them up to get the total for the wheel, there is no need to center the wheel exactly between them. And subtract the wood of course 😀. The opposite main would be raised to level, and the tailwheel should be positioned for level flight during all these measurements of course.😊 Of course by weighing one wheel at a time it’s easier to deal with the “bathroom scale timeout” problem. You just need a way to quickly and safely lower the wheel onto the bridge after turning on the scale. Hmmmm…

As a random internet person just wandering by, I'm saddened you didn't give the weights in the video. You gave the moment arm lengths in the first video, but I can't do the calculations because no weights...

What if the pilot has a pet, Or a snake hiding under the seat... Is that a separate form?

You gonna fly that thing without a canopy? If not, why wasn't it on during the weighing?

Interesting wheels you have there 🤔

The little tape things are a smart way to remember your talking points. Good video!

Terry, if one had a nice primer instead of using the choke, could i just delete the choke plate and shaft and plug the holes? The primer should serve the same purpose, right?

Why no front bulkhead? I've seen cracked spinners and backplates on Ultracruisers - a front bulkhead would at least slow this down.

Hi Terry thank you for another great video!! And as you know I have made some cup washers for the H5.....God bless you

From personal 45 year A&P experience, get rid of the plastic/nylon oil press line. Had a builder nearly lose his life when one got soft due to heat and melt against the cylinder.

nice series

I am considering picking up a rebuilt mosler 40hp half vw engine. It has mounting flanges cast into the case to be mounted from the back instead of on the sides of the case. Can I mount an engine off the firewall like that? Or should I stick with the side mounting like the engine bay was designed?

Hi Terry thank you for your videos. Im sure it is real helpful to a lot of giys!!!

Finally!!!’ More videos!!!! Awesome!

Alright Terry another great video....keep um coming....

Loving these videos

Strange, all I get is video with no sound.

not sure if the video is bugged or i am but all iget is black screen and full sound

Terry, thank you for the videos that you have produced. Though I am extremely familiar with air-cooled Volkswagen engines, your video of the 2 cylinder conversion is appreciated. I am looking forward to your series of videos based upon this engine configuration. I am certain that there is invaluable takeaway information unavailable elsewhere. Your H5 build videos answers many questions of an Ultracruiser build, there is much crossover information. Again, thank you for your time and the information. Respectfully, Chris A UC Plansholder

Thanks Terry waiting for the next

Excellent! Can't wait to see the upcoming videos!

Great Work 👌🏻

Alright Terry!!! Great video to start the year out!! That should really help a lot of builders. God bless you

OK. So first off I know these videos take a long time to make so thank you for grinding though the pain and suffering. That all said could you make a build assembly like this for the UltraCruiser PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP? Again thanks as I enjoyed watching this assembly series even though this planes not a 103 plane it was still cool to watch. 🙂👍

Love these videos. Thanks for making them.

That latch assembly looks really involved and unnecessary. Why not do a simple coffer latch?

You REALLY need to get a throat mic or one that mounts on your shirt. It's VERY difficult to hear what you are saying, even with the volume at max. It just sounds like mumbling to me. Occasionally you speak up, and then I can understand what you are saying, but when the camera pulls back, your voice goes away. I like these videos a LOT, but it is hard to understand what you are saying.
