@allsortsoffolk I think the EQ is optimized for the steel string but works with Nylon. Baggs just came out with their HI-FI duet which is a new step up from this. I am installing that in a Gibson SJ 200 Western next month as we get the unit. I plan on reviewing that as well but in a steel strin platform.

Thank you Eric.

@@mightymicroworlds4566 That's awesome. Flying is a beautiful thing.

@@ebrabaek I’m hyper focused on it. Absorbing as much information as I possibly can. Before I even get my intro flight in. I want to be prepared. Me and a friend are both going to go to the same ground school here in Ontario Canada. Simcoe Regional Airport. Amazing video. It inspires me

@mikesmicroworlds4566 there are several on my channel that you may like. We are currently in Billings with the plane but will return Friday. Saturday morning we will be heading to Ketchikan AK for a week. I plan on filming that as well.

@@ebrabaek I’ll for sure be watching haha. Smooth landing!

@jr_jeep4470 The front jack I installed myself, if that is what you curious about. The front carbon fiber box I made myself. The link to the build is a few posts down. I am sure you will have a great time with your scout. Congratulations.

Very much yes. My daughter is an expert boarder. She has the pioneer a foot shorter than mine and were both extremely happy with how they both rides. I weigh 225 and are 6'2"..... I like this a whole lot.

@@ebrabaek have you tried her board? less stable for you? Do you prefer the 11.6 vs her 10.6?

@growproteas1148 I have not tried hers yet.

Thank you. There will be two more coming in July. Montana and Alaska. :)

It is about a 15 minute walk to the discharge part of the lake. Terrain is veryyyy steep. Better to grap your car and go south to the launch part of the lake. That drive is about 5 minutes.

Congratulations on your new trailer. Yes it was actually. At least with ours. Two wires from the OEM roof 100 watt solar panel and two going to the battery. It might be different with yours if you dont have OEM solar as some have reported that there are no wires, but as I presume yours have, you should be good to go. You set up and configure the Victron via the app. I find that if you have a tablet it is easier than your phone but thats just me. Ask away if you have any questions as you move along the project.

@@ebrabaek other than the PWM on my new trailer being on the other side (inboard) of the 12v/usb plugs and light switch the setup looks the same. my understanding is i have similar 100w panel on the roof as yours but would like to have ability to add more without drilling into the roof. I think I will replace with the same victron MPPT you show because in order to read the screen on the rich solar PWN I basically have to crawl into the pass through to see it. thanks for the other apex videos. I am currently watching them all to see what other upgrades i want to do

@@tonyharnish4350 You are quite welcome. I think you are good to go. The 75/15 that I have will handle two 100 watt panels for a total of 200 but if you are going with more then you need to go a size up. I find that for mine, with the mobile 100 watt panel it is plenty unless it is 3 days of overcast and rain but then I have other means.

@@ebrabaek You answered my next question about the amount of solar that the MPPT you have could handle. We are going to be boondocking for the first time in the new trailer so we will be monitoring the power use to see how big I want to go on the controller/solar. I have a 2000w inverter generator as backup for the weekend if we need it

We got back from the boondocking trip and the 100w solar seemed to somewhat keep up when in full sun but fell very short with partial clouds. Going to likely upgrade to a 100v 30a mppt so I can get got with a 200w foldable panel for a little extra.

Once you make an access door of this caliber you will realize the time involved. You have to weigh that against the need and benefit before making that decision. In my case I considered it before starting but no matter of how I spun it the only need I found was for it to look cool. But in my case I have no need for a side door or two. Some might and it would look awesome. This is however not done. There will be a set of Carbon fiber crossbars installed along with a rear window once I identify it as well as a LED lighting package and perhaps a few more items.

You are correct Jerry. I consulted with the Korean manufacturer and all his machines runs at 60 RPM. When I purchased this unit I chose the 60 RPM version and it works really well. Seems to be the sweet spot. Should I ever need for that to change......Rheostat it is. :)

@@ebrabaek I am building my own machine at the moment. I am going to purchase the motor you have here. Thanks for the video. I am still on the waiting list for the Fresh Roast sr800 but tired of waiting. Actually I am building from scratch. I thought about the machine you have here. By the time I finish my project I will most likely have more money in it than you have here. Oh well. Patience I don't have.

@jerryhubbard4461 that is awesome. Nothing like making your own. Don't be alarmed of how hot the motor gets. The smaller ac sync motors tends to run a bit warm. Never had an issue.

Hi there Christopher. No need to apologize. I dont really have any video that illustrate the wiring diagram better then the shot @ 0:31 into the video, but I will be most happy to explain how to wire it. This switch is simply a disconnect switch. Just like when you turn on the lights in your house and back off, as it interrupts the flow of electricity. On my 194BHS I have 3 wires to the battery. One black wire and two red ones. The black goes straight to the negative on the battery and is not routed through the switch. The two red ones is as following. One comes from the converter box which charges the battery when the trailer is plugged in to "shore power" and the other one is from the solar controller to charge the battery when outside. I took the two red wires and simply cut them in half (making sure they could reach the disconnect switch where I mounted it) It matters not which side on the switch you connect the two red wires as all the switch does is make and disconnects the circuit depending on the switch position. Then on the other side of the switch just go to the auto store and buy a heavy gauge wire to connect that side to the battery. I think I used 8 or 10 gauge. You only need one big wire from the switch to the battery. One word worth noting is that as you pull the trailer outside or if it is always parked outside you need to have the switch in the on position. When a solar panel is generating power it needs to be able to go somewhere. If you have the switch off and have it parked outside you can do damage to the solar controller over time. If your trailer is parked outside all the time I would suggest thet you do not cut the small red wire from the solar controller. Only the big one from the converter. That is the one that has the drain anyway and this way the solar can maintain the battery while outside. Hope this offers a bit more clarity. If not ask away please.

Yeah.... They are an incredible group of talented musicians. Check them out on their channel..... www.youtube.com/@SteveSeagulls

You are quite welcome.

Thank you for those kind words Stan. Yeah, it can get a bit busy filming and doing all at once... :) The EVO is still rocking shots like there is no tomorrow. Anywhere from 2 to 4 doubles a day. No failures, just o-ring lubes and the usual stuff. I enjoy the shot timer and the easy read of the gauges as they are on top. I would have liked to be able to dim the display or say time it out as it is always on. At some point I suspect it will need replacement like that light bulb you always leave on in the hallway....lol. I think they ran a small batch of the evo to see how it would do, as you dont see too many of them. Perhaps they did not do well and Alex reverted to their original design..... Not sure. I sure love mine. Good luck chasing one down.

Thank you. It is my pleasure. There are a few more on the channel in the aviation playlist, and off course more to come.

Thank you. That is so awesome to hear. Learning to fly is so great, and right now is a fantastic time to do so. You can follow us on FlightAware and if we ever end up in your neck of the woods, just ping me and we'll be most happy to do a bit of show and tell. Best luck in your training.

@@ebrabaek i will i am from KBFL don't know if you ever been there. I would love to see you guys some time :)

@@codykrolak1716 We have not been to Bakersfield. Closest is properly Palm Springs, but you never know.

​@@ebrabaek one day ill come out to GJT to see you guys do you have Instagram. i have a lot more questions

@@ebrabaek do you have Instagram i have lots of questions for you if thats ok

Glass is the same method. It does not wet as easy as carbon, have been my experience, but absolutely would be applied the same way. You gain a bit of weight and loose a bit of structural strength, but you can just add a layer or two if you feel the urge. I dont know what the thickness of the roll is...perhaps 9 inches....10 maybe. The fiber is 6oz 6k, or 3k same weight, just more strands to make up the 6oz. It runs about $23 pr yard whereas you can get glass for under $5 @Yard, so significant savings for sure.

You absolutely can. You just have to be careful to get the right amount of resin left, but if you have done this before and feel comfortable with a trowel they yes it is a lot faster actually. Just make sure you have enough resin left over and if your doing this on top of a layer already down, be careful not to torque the fabric that your laying the resin down on.

I made it myself. Only one in the world. See the comment underneath where you can see the build in case you would like to build one.

We are returning early July this year as well. A fantastic experience.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes..... But dropping out of the sky @13K FPM usually the biggest piece you find is the size of a beer can.

It very well could be. I have about 20 post maint stall flights under my belt in various Learjet models, and they can be a challenge the first few times. It for sure looks like they fought this thing. The aircraft appears to hit the ground flat as it is laying right side up relatively intact.

From what I’ve read up on this accident, Hawkers have 2 features (cruciform tail and swept wings) that make stall recovery particularly challenging

@nickelplateroad4267 I have not full stalled a Hawker so I can't attest to their characteristics. I have several friends that has dapped and they say it stalls hard. Back in 1992 I learned to fly jets in a Learjet 25 snr 004. It was for a charter co and we did all training in house including stalls. The stalls in that thing happens so fast and you blew through the shaker.....buffets and pusher so fast that about a third of the time you were in excess of a 90 deg bank angle in a mere second. It was a challenge to master. One of the many questions I have is why was it stalled without a qualified stall test pilot? You have to do that to validate the flight characteristic after whatever maint done in order for QA to sign out the inspection(s). After crewing on many post maint stall flights in diferent part 25 aircrafts I have gained a tremendous respect for the full stall. The preliminary report were in large a statement of facts. Wel see as the final report arrives.

@@ebrabaek I’m anxious for that final report. I imagine it should be finished relatively soon.

With your recommendation would you kindly point to where in the AFM the note, caution or warning would indicate that being the case?

It’s there. You need to look up the ground handling instructions. CAUTION: ENSURE THAT EMERGENCY EXIT DOOR AND LOWER PASSENGER/CREW DOOR IS CLOSED AND LATCHED WHEN TAXIING OR TOWING THE AIRCRAFT. THIS IS TO AVOID POSSIBLE AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL OR EMERGENCY EXIT DOOR DAMAGE.

@hirobowen with respect..... it is not in neither the AFM, PM or PTM for that matter. You are quoting the FAA approved Maint manual for the Learjet 45. In fact Chapter 9-10-00 page 204 also, in addition to what you stated that one must put a person in the cockpit during nose gear towing. Nothing however mentioned in the FAA approved AFM which is our governing body available to operators of this fine flying machine. Back in 1996, I think it was, Learjet published a SIL that guided the general operation of towing the Learjet family of aircrafts. It stated that one should always close all doors as a precaution before towing. That has been adapted in large as a good guidance. We're we to pull the aircraft further than 50 feet straing out of our hanger then we will off course close the door, but my point is that unless it is in the AFM, even PTM, QRH, then it must not be that important as I assure you the amount of lawyers involved in writing procedures to protect people, aircraft or environment is perhaps a bit heavy and I'm sure it would be in there. There is however nothing wrong with closing the door lower and upper should you choose to do so and I tip my hat to you sir for duediligently doing so.

Indeed it can.... :)

Takker og bukker

Tjaaaa..... Der er lidt oejvin opfinder i os alle... He he. Takker.

Indeed...... phenomenal

Yaaaaaamaaaan

You are so very welcome Eric

Thank you.

Is it not working for you?

Don't mate,plug it in,set your parameters and away you go. No floatage for lithium 2:55 batteries.You have the best shit going around.

Yessir. A Swede and a Dane..... What could possible go wrong.... :)
