Building A Plane | Building My Skyranger Nynja | Collecting From The Factory | Episode 1 

Thanks so much Jed!

Thanks Dai!

Thanks Dave!

Thanks a lot Matt. Yeah there’s not a whole lot on “what to expect” so I figured an honest account might assist people in their decision making. I’ve just finished the first day of the build today and it went very much as I expected! Thanks for watching! This first episode was long and tedious but I really wanted it to be “warts n all”

I enjoyed it!

Thanks so much. Episode 2 will be out in the next couple of days

Thanks Nick! Episode 2 is in the editing suite as we speak. It should be a good one!

Thanks a lot Andrew, this is exactly why I am doing this series - to hopefully show it is an achievable goal and to encourage more people to do the same

Thank you! and thanks for watching I still haven't come up with a plan to pick up the 4.3m wing tubes yet though! I need to get my thinking cap on!

Thank you for watching, Jonathan. I really appreciate the comment too as I am doing the whole thing for this exact reason - to hopefully show that it is an achievable goal for people to do themselves.

Thanks Tim and thanks for the comment too! Looking forward to getting you down to see it at some point!

Thank you for watching! I really enjoy your videos! Thats brilliant - what are you building? I must say - I am thoroughly enjoying every aspect of it. It is already fast becoming a "core memory" for me. Yes - I was a bit overwhelmed at first and I am glad I got that across. It was a genuine reaction too as it hadn't really sunk in what a task I had taken on until I got there to pick it up and the first part of the build, I was very nervous but now I am thoroughly enjoying it.

@@LetsGoFlying I am currently waiting for my wook kit to arrive from Canada but already made a start with the tail feathers and a jigs, for the all wood Fisher Youngster biplane. SSDR. Have been involved with others builds and my own restorations, I know the feeling of am I really going to have to do all that, just do one task at a time. A bit like eating an Elephant, one fork full at a time, before you know it you reach a mile stone and it gives you drive to go forward, then the next thing you know its finished. For me I am addicted to engineering so as I finish one project I already have another in mind. You will do okay and there are planty of others out there who will give advice and better still encouragment.

Thank you Philip, I hope you enjoy the new episodes!

Hi Don - thanks so much for watching. Episode 2 covers the first inspection and is available to watch on my channel whenever you have time. The Skyranger really is a wonderful little machine and I can’t wait to get it built and in the air! Thank you so much for your comment - it really does motivate me to read such positive feedback 😊

Thanks so much Terry! I really wanted the first episode to be “warts n all” - the rest will be shorter but an honest account of the build process. Day 1 finished today. All went as expected 🤣 make of that what you will! Thanks for watching!

Thanks mate! I can see a Rory On Air special coming on..."Rory flies plane built by idiot..." ha ha ha ha

@@LetsGoFlying Ha ha ha - you're absolutely not an idiot and I would defo fly it!

Oh believe me - I had the same thought and took the engine home on day 1! It’s residing in the dining room currently all cosy and warm 🤣

Thanks mate

Thank you! Yes - absolutely. Anna will be doing the filming whilst I just crack on try and talk through what I’m doing and I’ll edit the episodes in between working my day job and sleeping!

Really glad you enjoyed it, thank you Francis and thank you for watching.

Thanks so much Peter. Really kind words. I think it will definitely test my patience 🤣

Hi Barry - thanks so much for watching! I’ll take your question with me to the hangar today and I’ll answer it in the next episode for you.

A great question that is as well! I will answer this in my next video! (episode 3)

Hi - thanks for watching! I ended up going with the following: Rotax 912 ULS 100hp XLAM wing and tail coverings Single piece doors Cabin heat Carb heat Wheel spats Tailored carpets Rear thermal screen Good luck with your build!

Ahh amazing. Well I’m going to post regular updates - much shorter episodes probably twice a well when it’s underway covering as much of the process as possible. I hope I do the project justice and you find it helpful 🤞

I was considering the Sherwood Scout and the X'Air Hawk. The Nynja is already tested to 600kg and the new microlight weight restrictions have increased from 450kg to 600kg. The Nynja I am building will have a maximum take off weight of 600kg when I have completed it. It doesn't make a difference if it is factory built or amateur built.

Haha I love this 🤣🤣 - yes it’s around about that difference. I was tempted but only for the “I want to fly it NOW” factor! I have just finished the first day of the build today and I really enjoyed it! Thanks so much for your comment and thank you for watching!

Hi - yes - where are you located?

@@LetsGoFlying London

@@baruchdir I know a great school at Damyns Hall Aerodrome. Google “London Airsports” and speak to Deepak. I just have an NPPL(M) which is all I need to fly something like what I am building.

Hi Jeff, no, I will be doing it all myself! Thank you for watching mate

Hi Geo - thanks so much for watching! I’ll take your question with me to the hangar today and I’ll answer it in the next episode for you.

Pretty sure it is absolutely possible - www.flylight.co.uk - speak to Paul Dewhurst - he will be able to answer all of your questions for sure.
