The Bull Moose With Corvette Sound 

gapped in airplane

I would love to hear that. I am wondering if a supercharged LS engine could be used to recharge some batteries and a super capacitor for a small hybrid regional airliner (< 40 seats). :)

@@thatguyalex2835 it’s the only way electric engined planes can fly, at least for now.

nice one! 👍🏻

Hilarious

@Sterling Phoenix lmfaoo deadass?

you probably dont give a damn but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I would love any assistance you can offer me

@Aiden Pedro instablaster ;)

Yeah it seems to scare even most experimental builders

They were reliable a long time ago to

@@Bray3k I can run a 140k 6.0 at like 400 crank hp at 3,000rpm just cruising

There are planes with Honda Accord engines. They seem to work pretty well.

The problem with automotive engines is the lack or redundancy. If power goes out to the ECU, that’s it. If the plane goes inverted for some reason and looses oil pressure, you’re done. If the primary ignition system looses power, ya done. If the fuel pump goes out, sayonara. Now aviation engines do have failure points, but many of those points are minimized by sacrificing horsepower for reliability. For example, by going with mechanical fuel pumps, magneto ignition, and using an extra redundant ignition system. And other fundamental features lead to a more reliable design, such as using a low RPM engine that doesn’t require a reduction gear. Many of these problems can be solved with good design and engineering, but unfortunately most experimental pilots don’t take these into consideration due to additional expenses and time involved in implementing them. An example would be using a custom cylinder head with an extra plug per cylinder, or giving each bank of cylinders its own ECU and ignition system.

TxCowPoke It sure is. Taxiing is great with that visibility over the nose

Jim Erickson Yea I got a little camera shake from a mount or two. I don’t normally get that but bound to happen with as many planes as I shoot.

Except it's a Canadian design 😁 , just a little poke in ribs for ya. Clear skies friend 👍

P-51 Mustang.

@@darrylwbraun Well technically Canada is part of North America, so we can say "I can't think of anything more North American". :) I have been overseas, but have never been to Canada, even though it is < 300 miles away from where I live. Would love to go to Canada one of these days.

Totally awesome! Thanks so much for your support. It sure means a lot that you just like the video!!

A single cylinder bank of any V engine sounds like shit. 🤷🏼‍♂️

5xls and you lost your hearing in your car right? Smartassery aside, don’t know to many pilots who don’t rely open their headsets anyway.

Nah, you grow to live it like the exhaust of a Harley-Davidson, the flapping of an old Jeep's soft top at freeway speeds, and the turbo whine of a large diesel.

I'd put a stock Camaro exhaust with silencers and cats on it if possible...

Man card revoked

It has become common to have a surface mounted baro sensor inside the ECM on the board.

I think a standard LS3 build is around 400HP and consumes at about 25GPH at 75%. This one says 480HP on the side so a full cruise might be closer to 30. Which is actually pretty good. That's like a 20% reduction in BSFC compared to your typical Lycoming/Continentals

Actually, at 155 to 170 mph cruise, he says he uses more like 12 to 15 gallons per hour.

34boo Flap handle

obsolete professor i would assume it’s running a redrive kit the engine is mounted with the transmission end forward and a gear box reduction drive on it

Adding a turbo will allow normalization to sea level. Yes, that's a benefit. Turbo would also take some bite out of the exhaust note. There are drawbacks to adding a turbo relating to under cowl temperatures and system complexity.

Might as well go twin turbo...the last ls6 twin turbo we did for a buggy made almost 900 hp on the dyno....and to prove a point my boss had them run it at 600 hp throttle setting for 20 straight min.

@@blackbirdxx928 Turbos on planes aren't usually to add power, its to keep power to a higher altitude.

Make 600hp with a nice set of turbos at 4500rpm and a torquer cam obviously built internals low weight everything too.

Steve Johnson I’d say he took off out of Chewelah municipal

Typically a reduction gearbox is fitted to the front of the motor that runs right off the crankshaft

The question is the transmission for the prop, those aren't cheap, iirc you're close to a io540 with cost. But, rebuilds are waaaay cheaper

he said 4k in the vid

@@hawkdsl Whoops! Missed it. Thank you.

Giocattolo012 There’s a “walk around” video where he says that eight separate coils provide as much redundancy as dual magnetos.

It is a homebuilt. Experimental Amateur Built category. You can do whatever you want. You can power it with a giant rubber band if you want.

I almost just posted an image of a plane in the hanger because a Ferrari engine equipped plane would spend far more time in the hanger getting maintenance done than actually flying. That's why used Ferrari's are so cheap because the maintenance requirements and part costs are absurd.

This is exactly what I want to know, too.

Sounds like 4000

Even some shorty cans would help

Yeah listening to that in flight would drive me crazy.

das wright Very True

Notice those headphones they have on? They block noise very well.

Both sides of the nose

ErikJohnston Nice Answer!

On the engine and cowling

Ask any boat owner and you'll find out they're fine for extended run times. Maintenance and service.

Better tell someone at NASCAR. It would seem they're not aware.

Bru Star How many races does an average engine make it in NASCAR even though they are equipped with special pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, bearings, modified oil channels, oil pump?

bluemut55 it's a well known fact that the stock LS3 is prone to rpm related failures in cars. This problem should be even worse when used like this in higher rpm and more long term high power.

@@mrSkandalpolisen All three of your post are nonsense. Modern LS chevy engines are probably the best v8 ever created.. and again with this myth that auto engines can't maintain RPM for long duration. nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense. Just freaking repeated BS. Even gen 3 engines from both Ford and Chevy can run all day up to red line for DECADES... They also are used in farming and some heavy haul trucks geared so high, they run at 4 grand at highway speeds. But go ah head.. say your bullshit until your blue in the face.

Compared to a Lycoming of equal horsepower it is much more efficient.

Close...Coeur d'Alene.

Want2Race A Rotax sounds like a weed eater. I guess you have to be there, but this actually sounds pretty cool.
