@@ininkus I do still use it. I have restored planes 34 years old and their T88 bonded joints remain strong. But now I buy the smaller bottles so as not to let it get crystallized. Perhaps I brought my old bottle to my hanger and overnight it chilled. I'm not sure. But their engineers claim that warming it makes it all good... I didn't show that. It was still strong, and I must add that I use commercial white ash and that makes it more difficult to pass a stress test.
Hey the next video you do.Can you do one on waiting balance on the 202 with and without the wings, and do you have to stitch the wings and by chance?Do you know what the Horsepower is?The kawasaki four forty eight p a waiting for reply
If you looked straight onto the front of the leading edge, the root was perfectly straight and square from the main spar to the trailing edge... But the rear spar had slid to the left ¼".
Nice. I use a thin push stick about a little over an 1/8×1/8 about 30 inches long to push it through without stopping...stopping sometimes causes a rough cut. Also you don't have to reach around. Kind of like you were doing at the end of the video. Thanks for posting!
TIM!!! My Loehle Sport Parasol wing looks very similar, it is almost 30 years old and I am making minor repairs to recover it, but I have issues, I am going to make a video for you to look at and consult on for FREE :) If you will.
Friend request me on FB messenger if you use it. It's so much easier to communicate on . .oh yeah, I am Dedric Sorenson on FB... profile has me holding my grandson covered in mud
Figures 1.5 and 1.6 in AC 43.13-1A says minimum splice ratio is 15:1 for spars. If you don't have this, you can download it for free from the FAA at: www.faa.gov/documentlibrary/media/advisory_circular/ac_43.13-1b_w-chg1.pdf
you dont have to disclaim your are teaching to fly an ultralight, there is no cfi issues, faa does not recognize ul instruction or a ul as an aircraft, they are vehicles
It's safe to flex all wood components by flex bending test. Don't get crazy thought. Use your best judgement because you will break some an learn what's up.
Yes, but I haven't been very active with it. Working 11 hrs a day and spending much of my time flying every opportunity I can. Also, I'm working on the other wing which I have already documented pretty thoroughly.
@@timketcham9139 thanks for responding. I too am (finally) on my other wing. As I don't have any way to currently fly, I have no excuses but to keep working on it. I enjoy your videos; they give me hope 😀
@@dennispitz7488 that's what is getting me going again... Other people sharing their excitement of their build. And if I come to something I think is noteworthy, I'll make a video of it.
On your next video on the 20 two, how long are the winso struck? I got the 202 and i'm looking at a 101 need to find buy how long the stretch are to bite on your next video watching everyday
We are having a blizzard now. As soon as I can get to my hangar I will measure mine. But it won't be exactly the same for you. Unless we built our planes exactly the same, which is not likely. The length will be about 110" or 2,794 mm. (2.794 M) Your actual measurement for your plane is found by attaching the wings, and raising it 4" above level at the wing tip. Then measure the distance.
I'm from Linesville, he sold it to me. My son and I flew it a couple of years. I sold it to a guy who wanted to learn to fly...he just sold it to someone in Texas.
Any luck? Those Bing carbs, rattle and shake like crazy... how many hours on it? Getting worn on the needle jet so that it's not consistently getting the right mixture???
@@sawyersdad5292 it's been windy and raining daily so I haven't re-installed the new fuel lines and filter. Gonna be mud bogging if I wanna fly any time soon.
I have some that never froze and was doing glue ups over several days in a 85 degree garage...on the 4th day it was suddenly cloudy and crytalized. It was 2 years old but freshly opened...always stored at room temperature. It does not have to freeze to go cloudy. And , the only contaminats that is possible was the air sucked back into the bottle. Systems 3 's video on crytalization mentions contaminates as a cause but that's a lie if you ask me. Now I'm afraid to use it...with 2/3 left. System 3 tells you to warm it up but they never claim anything about it still being structural...and I think they know it loses strength but too afraid to lose sales to say anything. If there is ever a glue failure that costs a life, I'll bet there are internal memos about a corporate decision to not be forthcoming. Why don't they reasure people that there product is still structural after warming? That seems like the logical question after finding it crystalized. By not mentioning it at all they imply that the product remains structural so they are definately still on the hook.
@@timketcham9139 I received a return email quickly from system 3. They said crytalization does bot effect the resin in any way. So I am going to do some test pieces and see if my results are like yours.
I didn't keep track of hrs, but I worked 10+ hrs a day at my regular job... have a small farm and large family with many family events... and I flew my FP202 1 yr 2 mo after starting it. Seldom did a day go by that I didn't work on it... even though it may have only been a half hour or so. I would guess I worked 15 hrs/week...so ...a few weeks worked very little....so....7-800 hrs. Much of that time was learning and testing wood and testing glue joints.
@@timketcham9139 Thanks Tim. I'm retired living in the Uk and thinking of going the same route, plenty of time to spare if my wife stops filling up the calender!! I might put a Briggs& Stratton v twin in if weight and balance allows
@@user-rj1yy6og7o I just lost my spark on my 277 so I'm thinking of going V-Twin also. But not making the screaming demon out of it. Use it's low end high torque. Perhaps a 1.3/1 redrive to bring the thrust line up in line with the upper longeron.
Man what a great little aircraft. Can't wait to get started on mine. Thanks for sharing the extra ins and outs of your flight. Very helpful for a newbie like myself. Good health and God bless 👍
