The written apology was the second most entertaining bit in this video production. The sweet man-hug was hilarious!!! You dudes are awesome!
I love how Sara signs her name with her MOTO number!
Blu cru!!
MY BOY BLUE!!!!!
Oh wait....that’s something else.
Lots of good information there. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching! -Sara

Thank you! Thanks for watching -Sara
Love the baggy mixing
love those fabric band-aids!
Thanks Steve and Sara for sharing.
Steve is so smart. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brandon, I don’t know how smart I am but I do work hard at trying to build a really good airplane and also to fly it as good as I can. 😊
This series is great! I think it’s just about time to get an order in and see about building one with all the secret sauce. 😁
always a great one. thanks steve merry christmas to all of you from tennessee
And merry Christmas to your sir!
Really enjoying watching this build process! Looking forward to every video!
Can you go into some detail about why you chose the Highlander instead of the SuperSTOL?
fantastic the way you explained it. you make it appear so easy. very interesting about the new aileron shape.
Thanks 😊
Success is in the details. You showed us again. Have fun. You are super. Thank you 😊 👏👏👏
Thanks 😊
Seems like I wake up sleepless a lot around 3 or 4 am. In a perfect world I'd have a hotrod Highlander to work on.
Nice update guys, keep 'em coming :)
Nice to see Sara's name on the shop walls adds some color!
you can get r/c airplane aileron stock and cut the edge off then slide it in and epoxy it. that way its a lot more solid edge. get that aileron stock at a hobby shopp and comes in different width and sizes. make a good filler
One would think Just Aircraft would have sorted some of these changes for you at the factory especially as your on there team and i guess sales rocketed with your achievements.
Yea, I personally wouldn't care I'd have made them changes. Awesome to know thin wood and epoxy hold up so well. Kinda funny to me how the fuselage has all those braces and chromoly metal yet the wings have thin wood and epoxy. Idk, maybe for the flex. Makes me feel better about the way I plan to do it. Love this plane tho. Nice.
Makin it look easy!
Great stuff Sara & Steve, super helpful. I'm worried i'm gonna see something i forgot to do :)
Thank you! -Sara

Thanks for doing this build series. I built a Highlander some years ago and the manual was severely lacking. Most people are visual learners anyhow and this will aid others in building a higher quality aircraft.
We really hope it can help! Thanks for watching -Sara
Did I hear right, 4am? Look out we got another Patey on the loose
Clamp tank holders to tank, then glue assembly to spar. After glue sets, remove tank. Tank holders should stick to spar. Drill holes into spar & rivet. How about filming Hal in his shop a bit?
That’s a great idea you have for installing the tanks! I will do it that way next time!
Sharpie!
😆
great ending (-:
The bag tricks works for stuffed eggs are in the south deviled eggs
BOOM!!! Great idea!
Where do you get your stuff powdercoated around here?
Real question is who’s sharpie did Steve use to right that note at the end???!!
Hahahahaha!! One he stole!
? When you drop that new edge into the stream does that not increase/decrease/or no effect; the yaw over the standard curved leading edge? P.S. Have you checked your DNA? Are you sure you are NOT related to Orville or Wilbur?
Hello Steve, You are using a MIG welder, is that just for TACKING then do you go back and TIG weld all of them??
We always use tig on aluminum and stainless. On 4130 some things we tig and some things we use mig.
@@SteveHenry Do you de-stress the airframe metal after welding?
Sir please i want same this video's. And i want all guidelines about it.
Who's a nut plate? 👋😁
Steve you said that your header tanks are $750 each. Do you make them inhouse? Cutting the Aluminum and TiG welding them. about 1.5 to 2 hours each I would guess.
If you could build one of these tanks in two hours you’re a whole lot faster than we are!
I said the very same thing before I built one. Booooy was I wrong!!!!
What material are those ribs made of? 😮 😊
The spars are aluminum and the ribs are wood
Apologies accepted. 😂
😂
Shweew!!
