Great job!
Wow! I love these birds.
Has anyone put a turbine engine in a Hummel yet
You would need to re design the wings/airfoil for that. The VNE is only 150.
2024
I remember these two planes sitting at Corporate Jets FBO at Scottsdale when I worked there as a line guy in the early 1990s
That’s one cool little plane
Very cool video, love to see the maintenance side of aviation. Particularly when it involves the engines.
awesome build
Damn, I was hoping to see the gear come up as you took off., ha, ha, ha, Wow, what a beautiful 3 point landing. Doesn't get any better than that. I must say that is the BEST looking Hummel Bird I've ever seen. I've flown some different planes, over 40 years, but your plane is the "coolest" I've seen. I love that plane. My last Experimental Amateur Built plane was an EROS 1650 Minimax. I flew that one over 13 years and put over 750 hours on it. It was more fun than any of the others - well, maybe the Arrow, but their wings started falling off. I would guess that when the DAR or FAA showed up for your AW inspection, they signed it off immediately. . :-) Any plane built that nicely certainly has it "all together." :-) Love it. N6395T Thanks for letting us see it.
That yellow line on the airstrip has wings
How do I buy one from india ?
looks like something a single bird strike would take it out
Ricordo volentieri gli f 15 in Sardegna avevo sempre gli occhi 🙄 e la testa all in su per scorgere gli f 15 o i Phantom f4 grazie per questa testimonianza sei tu che piloti?
Ricordo sempre volentieri gli aerei della fligth sistem a Decimomannu e anche l accensione del post bruciatore dell f 100 un gran casino
pretty slick
Beautiful plane. Hate the engine sound. Needs a commanding sound.
siempre es sido un enfermo con los aviones para mi suerte vivo cerca del antiguo Aeropuerto cibao aqui En Republica Dominicana y siempre lo veia despegar y Aterrisar en ese Aeropuerto de aqui bendiciones para todos Amen
Great Presentation Sir. I enjoyed this immensely.
My Air Guard unit was flying F-100's back in the 1970's. A few times I got to go out to the test pad when they were doing engine maintenance like this. You'd be standing a few feet away from the engine while it was running and when the afterburner lit. It was very loud of course but you could also feel the heat pouring off of it. I also got two rides in an F-100F so I had a chance to see and feel what its like to ride in front of the engine.
Used to watch Tracor do this all the time at Mojave California, they sure did burn through alot of fuel out there, it's no wonder they went bankrupt.
Pretty little bird!
N419FS now resides in Belgrade/Bozeman Montana at Gallatin Field.
Very nice.
Great looking airplane, engine sounds nice too.
Thanks one of the best I have ever seen. THANKS.
Looks like an old TRACOR bird. Wonder where this was done?
Wittmund Germany
H5steve Is that why the plane has what looks like the Jagdgeschwader 71 “R” badge on the nose?
What a looker !
We have about 30-40 of these targets boxed up in original packing, we unboxed one for display at our Unmanned Aviation Museum. www.auvm.net
That's just amazing... 37hp from two cylinders with a top speed of 114mph! Let me guess.., at cruise it only burns 5-6 gal/hr? I'll eat my shoe if it burns any less! Beautiful aircraft!
At 105 mph cruise it burns 1.7 gal per hour. that equals 61 mpg.
@@H5steve Good thing I have some BBQ sauce, this shoe is gonna be tough! :) Wow, that small amount of fuel consumption is impressive. Then again, it is only HALF of a VW...? LOL. I'm accustomed to these Rotax two stroke motors, yet even with 64 horsepower and drinking twice the amount of fuel I can't even come close to your cruise in a Kolb MKIII. However, I realize I'm comparing a prize winning Red Delicious apple to an old coconut. Again, what a beautiful aircraft. I love that runway, I didn't see any dirt. And all that green vegetation! Not one tumbleweed! Nice! Just add extreme hot temperatures, variable wind from 5 - 30mph from directions than change during the day along with the fact that the sun will bake, boil and ruin anything left outside and now you know the perks of flying in Nevada! Ugh. :( Happy flying, Sir! Stay safe.
@@xMRPx My KR2 burned about less than 4 gals per hr. At one time it was 2.9 gph.
Is that a BMW motorcycle engine?
It's a 1/2 VW 37 HP
H5steve, have you heard of a motorcycle by the name of Apprila RSV4? Probably a little over 200hp and sounds absolutely amazing! Search it?
the 1/2 vw is common now. the Citroen 2CV motor is well adapted to aircraft, but you wont see 37 hp from it. ( doubt anyone actually has dyno'd one of these)
At first I thought it was a large scale model airplane.
I don't think I've ever seen a Hummelbird that looks as nice as this one. Excellent job on the build!
Beautiful craftsmanship. All those crows in the video, we were half expecting to see a bird strike. Good job avoiding the feathers!
You don't avoid the birds, they avoid you. 😂
Nice lines and it appears to fly well but, GADS, it sounds awful!
beauty is in the ears of the beholder !
Nice looking. Some wheel pants and cheeks and you have a fighter. Looks like a lot of fun.
Il à l'air très délicat à piloter comme un racer type cosmique wind ...!!!!! Verry hot ...... bravo magnifique
Ive seen models bigger.
I was are sick watching this video. Use a tripod next time. Love the plane.
Picky picky picky.
Legal este avião que motor ele tem?
dos cylindros la mitad de VW motor. si esta legal... para "esport"
Sounds like an old clapped put Volksy😂😂😂😂
I want one
Holy crap what’s the stall speed on this thing?
stall speed is 43 mph
Beautiful little tail dragger. Sounds great & would be fun to fly. Good onya!
this plane and a skilled pilot. ..
I want alot more power than a Harley
but will it help ?
Good lord. I’ve got bigger radio control planes than this one.
tried getting in one lately ?
Sounds a little like a Harley Davidson whilst idling. I would love to have an aircraft like this one.
37HP VW Engine...
@@karstenluecking Love it for sure
My flying days are long over, but I sure like to watch you guys fly your Hummels, what a beauty you have there. Thanks for the memories.
A suggestion: I know a fellow, well up in years. On his birthday each year he hires an airplane and instructor pilot to take him up as his birthday present to himself...
@@wiltonsmith3397 Thanks, for the suggestion Wilton, I retired from airline flying in '98, and owned my own '46 T-craft until a few years ago. Now I am done with all of it, but I like to watch you guys fly your airplanes on UA-cam. At this stage that's enough. Jerry
I'm also retired from the airlines and feel no interest in flying part 91. Just too much buck for too little bang (at near $200/hr for 172 and CFII). May I suggest flight sims? I couldn't believe how far they've come. The graphics are amazing and I'm even talking about day VFR flying. I felt all of my old habit patterns coming back after a couple hours of "flying" and I was not spending a dime!! 😊 Right UP a civilian pilot's alley. 😂
use a tri pod.
when you focus up so tight on the AC... we lose any touch with the ground... so we lose any sense of how fast it is climbing or flying.
Cool paint! Sweet airplane!
