Just happened upon this video a day or so ago. I'm an A&P, as well as a CFII, and must say that I definitely learned a couple of things listening to your presentation. More correctly I suppose, some of the things you stated didn't sound familiar to me so I was compelled to go research it. Excellent! I'm planning a tube & fabric EAB build myself, starting later this year. So this video was very interesting to me, and I'm sure I will revisit it again. Then I looked at your other videos and saw the stuff on statics--instant SUBSCRIBE for me. I don't have an engineering degree, but have a few other degrees...but I have also had calc, diff EQ, statics, dynamics, some fluids, etc, etc. But that stuff is 15-20 years ago for me, so I was very happy to see it in your channel, especially with aircraft used in your examples. Thanks for making the video!

I've got my kit on order and this is easily one of the most comprehensive overviews for building I've found. I appreciate the collation of resources into a single location and the overview in the video.

Watching from Australia, and though our regulations are similar, and different, great presentation of how it works in USA. And already being familiar with the US regulations, everything you said matched my research exactly. Nice work!

Hey love your channel! I also have a Merlin GT how would I fix poly-tone paint that is cracking? Couple ringworm spots? Hope your enjoying your Merlin very capable planes. Thanks again

@LightAndSportyGuy 3 года назад

You can try the rejuvenator, it won't fix the cracks, but it may slow the spread. You can also brush a coat of polytone over the problem areas to help fill in the cracks. But, I suspect the only "cure" would be to get back down to the fabric with MEK and repaint the area (assuming it is a reasonably small area). Repainting with a brush (a.k.a. "broom job" :-) ) isn't the best, but it's not horribly noticeable with the poly-tone. Good luck and thanks for the comment!

I have always wanted to get my pilot license, but it seems so expensive. That I'm not sure if it will make sense, i feel like i will never be able to afford to fly a plane, even with my license.

@gregocker7696 10 месяцев назад

What is your take on buying an abandoned project being sold as parts and use the parts to build a plans built plane? I would have to buy the plans and serial number.

@LightAndSportyGuy 10 месяцев назад

I would normally expect that to work. Some documentation is helpful to show that the work completed was not "commercial assistance". You could also walk through the check list to see how close you are to a score of 51% or greater with just the remaining work. If there is doubt about the history of the project, it would make sense to consult with a DAR or the FSDO before one gets too deep.

@timotb1 Год назад

So, Can the holder of a repairman certificate for a specific amateur-built experimental aircraft perform and sign off a pitot static test as per FAR 91.411(b) acting as the manufacturer?

@LightAndSportyGuy Год назад

A strict reading of the regulations would suggest that you could - but I wouldn't take my word on this one.

@TheCraftedMine 3 года назад

The more I hear about "experimental" restrictions, (and plenty of other obnoxious laws,) the more I think the FAA just gets in the way of people flying. It feels like they absolutely killed aviation for the average person, turning it into a niche luxury for the super-rich.

@dvsmotions 3 года назад

Well you really wouldn't be happy with the "certified" restrictions then.

@alanc6781 Год назад

But you see, it's all for your own good. Apart from which, the main growth industry is GOVERNMENT and we have to find something for these people to do. Otherwise they would have to go and get a job and do some work.

@muhammadsteinberg Год назад

@dvsmotions I couldn't agree anymore. Sold my certified and started an RV-10 build because I got tired of feeling like I was being robbed everytime some needed repair. When I started getting exhaust streaks on my cowling I had to pay a shop to tighten it up. I couldn't find anywhere, where that was covered under owner/operator allowed maintenance.

@louisseaman8455 3 года назад

Funny thing about the build to sell idea, if you're an amateur, you would probably have personal liability for the plane and its construction, and expose yourself personally to law suits should there ever be a problem. I can't imagine any amount of corporate layering that would absolve and insulate you personally from liability; and obviously, if you're an "amateur" by the FAAs definition, you're not getting business liability insurance.

@LightAndSportyGuy 3 года назад

Thank you for the comment - fortunately, this sort of thing seems to be pretty rare.

@jaredmercer392 4 месяца назад

What if you buy an almost complete aircraft with no build logs. Are you still able to complete the build and get it permited?

@LightAndSportyGuy 4 месяца назад

I would say it is likely, but really that would be a question for a DAR or your FSDO. It may cost you a bit to get a DAR to review the particular circumstances, but I would suggest that it would be money well spent.

Trying to contact you personally I have a question regarding a plane that was 95% done before I purchased

If you go to my channel and click on the "about" tab, there is a link to my email. Or, feel free to ask here in the comments - I will do my best to answer either way.

It takes a lot of trust to buy a homebuilt, I did that and have been putting a lot of hours into making it right. I guess its possible to buy a very good homebuilt but I would be willing to bet there are more than a few out there that have some build errors and omissions...I know this from my own experience. Certified aircraft are expensive for a reason and even they may have issues. One needs to know what good work is, what bad work looks like, what is a red flag that there may be more trouble ahead as well the type you choose may have issues only known to experts in that particular type. I better stop here
