Episode 0 didn't mention an overall budgetary goal. I understand that this is a long (long, long, long?) range project, but just for fun, I'd like to have seen you mention an estimate for total cost. We can then all go back and look in a few years and laugh about how over optimistic the cost estimate was. At any rate, this should be fun to watch and I think you will have tens of thousands of people watching you before it's all done. I took the kids over to the Airforce Museum a few years ago and they just happened to be having a WWI fly-in on the day we were there. I was excited to go look at the planes, but very disappointed when I saw them. The planes I saw had fuselages made from metal tubing and they all had modern engines that were not close to looking or sounding like the originals. This made me think that maybe original WWI aircraft couldn't be replicated by a home-builder for some reason or another. To now come across this channel, where you are building an almost exact replica is just really exciting. I will be rooting for you to succeed.
Thank you! My best guess is that the plane will cost around $10,000 by the time I am done, but as you said, it will probably end up costing a bit more in the end! I'll definitely need to remember to include that in a future video!
Interesting thoughts. I once owned a 1972 Chevrolet Caprice that had a 400 cubic inch small block with a 2 barrel carb. I loved it. Had adequate power and the 2 barrel wasn't too hard on gas. The car's long wheel base and fairly large tires gave a smooth ride. It seemed to float down the highway. I've had many cars since but I sure miss the Caprice. Can't wait to see the converted engine.
Hi, loving the videos. This is just a quick catch from an engineering student: Torque is force at a distance so it should be lbs*ft not lbs/ft. Keep up the great work!
bore X bore X stroke X .7854 X # cylinders = CUBIC DISPLACEMENT (where ".7854" is 1/4 of pi.) that other math be lookn' a lil' convoluted and complex to me, but I'm all for simple. Maybe 'cause I am?
Ok I'm really liking this build. Got a history lesson, some engineering and build design.
Thank you!
Interesting project! Thanks for documenting it - looking forward to future episodes.
Thank you!

Thank you! I'm an engineering student too, so I should have caught that.
Loving this series, can’t wait for the next video!
Sounds awesome!
you've made a good videos...
Thank you very much! I'm glad you've enjoyed them!
Good video bro! 👊🏼🤟🏼
This is the coolest shit ever dude

The channel is probably a bit small right now, but that's a great idea!
Buenisimo evan me encantan estas construcciones. Algun dia me gustaría contruir el el sg38 me parece mas simple
have you thought about a diesel engine out of a japanese light truck

How many airplane need HP?
i built my own test airplane
