Yamaha Phazer first run up with propeller

First run up With prop. Phone died before test was complete, reached 365 lbs thrust. After test I noticed the throttle cable had slipped so I think it has a little more.

Yamaha phazer aircraft conversion on test stand.
Is the Phazer worth it? What is your experience after a few years?
Where’s the complete flying video?! Would love to see. Putting a Phazer on at top rudder ruckus!
I’ll see what I can do, I’ve got a handful of videos.
How's your kitfox project going? I need an exhaust for mine any ideas
Almost finished! If possible build your own exhaust.
Real nice. I have a model 3 I’m looking to re-power like your set up. Who makes the engine mount for your Yamaha?
I built my own mount.
I apologize if you'e already answered this question, but how much horsepower does the engine make and what is the installed weight? TIA
Hell Byron, looks great?, I have Avid Model C (pretty close to Fox 4 or earlier) , considering using Phazer engine. Who made your engine mount? and are you using C gearbox from Rotax?
Hello Byron, Please info your Rotax C gearbox ratio and prop diameter? Thank You.
3:47 prop 68”
Hi Bryon, what's the max weight of that kitfox?
950 lbs
@@byroncronk3251 Sorry for being a pest, what kind of static thrust are you getting out of this engine? Looking for something to replace a 60hp Mikron III. Thanks
Around 365 lbs
Have you flown with the Phazer engine yet? Im interested in seeing how it works out. I am considering putting one in my 701
how is the phazer doing?
Muy bonito modelo se ve súper 👍👍 Saludos...queremos ver más vídeos ...saludos 👍👍
What kind of gearbox are you using for the phaser engine.
Rotax c
Nicest looking kitfox I've seen. Go with conventional ailerons and flaps like on the Just aircraft, my opinion flaperons aren't very effective and make a lot of adverse yaw
does it have a centrifugal clutch or how does the prop disengange?
Rk400 clutch.
No way! Just ran across your thread on avidfox... and this randomly popped up. That thing is a beast 😍
I just bought a Kit Fox !! only a few small things left to do. I don't even fly, but I couldn't pass this deal up. My Friends Dad died, and he had a kit fox he was just about finished with. I mean this plane is almost ready. Only 8 hours of flight time. So I bought it !! I have always wanted to fly. My dad took me to air shows, he even flew a little too. So I'm going for it !! 65 years old, and I do a lot of out door adventures. boat camp, motorcycle camp, car camp, and now the frosting on the cake, Plane camping !! Nice plane and TALLY HO !!
Nice installation. I like your landing gear. Did you make it?
Thanks, I did build it. It will look even better with bigger tires😀
can't wait to see this fly. It's amazing how much shorter it is then my Apex.
2 cylinders 😀
Nice! 👍
Bet your neighbors love you! Lol sounds awesome!
good workin unit
Any idea how much this engine set up weighs?
Hey Byron. Where are you at now with this project? Thanks, Terry, New Zealand.
Aircraft firewall forward is basically done motor is back on the test stand to verify exhaust, intake, fuel system ect.
Where did you find that fuel tank
Built it.
I would be interested to know how its going. What your all up weight is going to look like vs the 582.
Yeah, what he said!! Hehehe...80hp?
Hey how is the progress coming
Slowly but surely, test flights this fall maybe...
So awesome!!! What brand of gear box?
Rotax
@@byroncronk3251 did you get it in the air yet, what plane is it going on?
Not done yet but getting closer, I had to build a plane to put the motor on, kitfox II.
sounds good too
How is it going with this project ? Any new info ?
What rpm were you running at . Because I'm putting one on my kitfox 3
Max 11,300
Jorbedo, engine is currently on the airframe but will be Going back on the test stand soon, I need to design the new intake and test the new NR propeller.
Cool, I thought I was the only one to consider a phaser engine for aero conversion. Godspeed sir.
have been following the progress of the Phazer conversion for a long time. RX1 is great but the Phazer is more suited my needs Best wishes from facebook.com/groups/436449473535787
What prop diameter and pitch was used?
Hi there! We are also doing a phazer aircraft conversion right now, I'll be following your progress, thanks for uploading!! Also may I ask what gearbox you are using? We noticed the output shaft from the phazer is a keyless tapered shaft and we haven't decided how to connect it to anything yet. Thanks!
Glad to see someone else pursuing this this motor. I’m using the Rotax C gearbox. You need to find the Yamaha aircraft conversion Facebook page, lots of good information over there. What is the aircraft you you intend to use?
@@byroncronk3251 Thanks so much for your quick reply! I've just checked out the facebook group. We are currently attempting to build a prototype for a new, blended wing body design! A complication is that we will need about a 5ft long propeller shaft. We are currently working with a 2007 Phazer engine, but if everything goes well and we make a few airplanes, we eventually want to switch over to the HKS 700e.
I just bought a Phazer motor for my trike. I have an Apex motor but 140hp is a bit much on a lightweight trike. (if anyone is interested in it it's for sale). Teal Jenkins of skytrax is making custom gear boxes for Yamaha motors. Really nice units. ua-cam.com/video/r8UXxcV1CFQ/v-deo.html
@@timi707_1 A long propeller shaft will open a can of engineering worms! Look at the number of engineers Jim Bede used to try and solve the torsional oscillation issues and ended up bankrupt!
Great test stand!
Wonder what the rates hp is at that rpm
65hp @ 9500rpm
Byron Cronk. Wow that’s crazy efficient if it’s actually making 65hp. .32lb/hp/hour. I think the 912IS fuel injected is .38lb/hp/hour
I saw on another night video you got 365lbf static what RPM Prop diameter and pitch? @@byroncronk3251
@@brent1041 It's not, because, well, physics. ;-)
Having said that, I do want one.
Check out the Yamaha Aircraft Conversions Facebook page, lots of information over there.
so awesome!
Yee yee
Nice stand set up.
sounds like my phazer! what is the weight? using 582 gearbox?
