What makes him a "retard"? Your ignorance? Towing safely isn't only about your vehicle's rating. Plenty of 3/4 ton trucks underwater or on their sides in a ditch. Plenty of cars safely parked on the lot while families wmjoy a fun day.
9250rpm????....engine wont stay together for long doing those revs.....i get 8400rpm from my 3 blade 16X8 MA prop.....and 8200rpm from my 19X8 2 blade APC prop
Hmmm, what is the problem here? 20' pontoons with the trailer weigh around 3700 pounds, so it may be a tiny bit over, but not that bad. I'm guessing he isn't going far either, so again, what is the problem here? It's not a pickemup truck? Who gives a shit.
The problem isn’t that it can’t “tow” you could use a small compact car to tow a trailer much larger, the issue comes when it’s time to stop the moving mass. It creates a lot of wear and a potential for brake fade, or loss of control. In this case let’s say the pontoon weighs 3500lbs and your towing capacity is 3500lb you have to include weight of the driver and all passengers as well. Also you should pay more attention to max payload before max towing capacity.
@@Muscleupsanddangles Won’t help much going down a steep grade @70mph, they increase the sway on the front end and can cause a potential loss of control🤦🏻♂️
Btw I have had a commercial driver's license for 30 years amd had ZERO accidents or tickets towing everything from A's, to B's, to hotshots and pickups with landscape trailers. So you could say I know what I'm talking about.
I pull my 18ft pontoon with my 2017 Edge Sport. Total wight is around 3,000lbs, Edge rating is 2,000. Never felt squarely, overloaded, or slow to stop.
Edge is rated to tow 3500lb (braked) in North America. Have an SEL with the 2.0 turbo, I've towed a 3500lb trailer with 5 passengers in the car (2.0 EcoBoost/6F35 6 speed AWD, without the factory tow package, but with an aftermarket Class 3 hitch rated for 7500lbs), and it did it so easily. Even over hills, I never felt a lack of power. It comes with a stock transmission cooler, and Engine & Transmission Temps remained normal (monitored using Carscan OBD). I am pretty sure that Ford has underrated the tow capacity of the edge in the US for liability purposes, as this should most likely be in the 4.5-5k lb territory. In the UK it's rated to tow 4400lb (braked)(so I'm pretty sure that is a marketing tactic in the US to push customers towards trucks!). Just make sure to change your fluids much more often if you tow regularly. If you tow 3500lbs(braked), the edge will tow it as if the trailer is non-existent.
Wow they changed the dials. My 2022 Tremor is my favorite truck I ever owned. I have to put weight in the back in winter to keep the rear wheels planted. Still a go anywhere rig that gives me confidence.
"Gonna blow you away...stupid Democrat!" That's actually the *BEST* use for this mount (and the most likely way it would turn out, since most criminals vote D!)🤣👌 Be careful out there brother, and don't use it until it's life or death!🇺🇲
It's better to just fly it, the prop doesn't cool the engine as well as flying would. I've been bulding and flying for 12 years now, dozens of engines with Bowman rings. Run 50:1 on Redline, never any problems and several of those engines I'm still flying today.
Dude!!! That is a high rpm engine. You cannot run it rich. Must be lean. You will ruin the piston fit. Has to get hot as quick as you can get it. Very collectible engine.
How did you figure your drill points for the motor? I mounted a DLE 35 on mine and my mounts ran into those angle braces like yours did. I have one flight on mine and i had to keep quite a bit of up elevator the whole time i was flying. It has me wondering if the engine needs adjustment. The CG is a little nose heavy so that should be the issue.
Is there any reason you fitted the tank right behind the firewall? I have mine on the cg so it doesn't alter as the tank empties. I also have the Ultra stick with the dle40 twin. No point in a choke servo as you can get to it with your fingers.
Nylon bolts have been a proven technique for decades, same as the wooden dowls at the leading edge. I would of used metal blind nuts for the rear, but kept the nylon bolts that are designed to break on hard impact (sometimes). It is also known that some have drilled out the center of the nylon bolt to make it break more easily. A change I also added was building up the rear saddle with balsa to spread out the resting area where the wing is bolted down. I covered it in white to match and it's not even glued down. Also, the control horn screws I put in so that the screw heads are up, rather than the less attractive nut and screw cut off. And did not over tighten until they are smashed into the covering. With a 19 inch prop you will have very little ground clearance and you can easily strike the tip and ruin a $22 dollar prop. I ordered a three bladed prop and spinner for about $100, the same that I did on my giant Revolver and since then I haven't damaged a prop in years with it. I wish I could post photos of the changes I made.
I seen a guy pull one behind a 1967 schwinn 3 speed with a banana seat and a sissybar. You do what you gotta do to get on the water on a nice summer day😂😂😂😂
