Welcome to my channel! Here, I dive into the world of experimental aviation, combining my passion for flight with hands-on engineering. Join me as I design, manufacture, and rigorously test parts for experimental aircraft, exploring the challenges and triumphs along the way. Whether it’s 3D printing, machining, or stress testing, I’m constantly learning, experimenting, and sharing the journey with you.
This channel isn’t just about building planes-it’s about pushing boundaries, solving problems, and celebrating innovation in aviation. If you’re as fascinated by the “how” and “why” of making things fly as I am, stick around. Let’s build something incredible together!

Can an Idiot 3D Scan?
Join us as my brother (the self-proclaimed 'idiot') and I dive into the world of 3D scanning to find out: does it really take skill? Watch as we put our wits (and patience) to the test, trying to scan objects for our experimental plane project.

3D printed Airbox Ep.1 3D Scanning
Переглядів 176Місяць тому
Join me on an exciting journey as I kick off a project to design and 3D print a custom airbox for an experimental plane! In this episode, I’ll dive into the first critical step: 3D scanning. Watch as I capture precise measurements of the engine and surrounding components using advanced scanning techniques to ensure the perfect fit. Whether you're into aviation, 3D printing, or just love seeing ...
Hey this guy is pretty cool and smart
@@jaredkeen01 I’m faltered
You have to build it by yourself
That's mine, it dud have a rotary but it was a little underpowered and it now has the lycoming o360. That's a cool video I like it
@@dillonhopson4367 thanks mate, the deltas are in my top 3 favourite experimental aircraft’s and so it was awesome to see them in person. You did well building it
@@NathanWetzel thanks I refurbished it and I've helped with N7DY the red, white, and blue one and flew them both in amd out of Oshkosh. They are awesome airplanes. I left the rotary emblems on mine as part of its cool story.
What if you scan a 3d scanner then 3d print the scanner you just scanned then use the printed scanner to scan another and create an infinite loop
It was always awesome to see a Starship on the ramp somewhere…She was ahead of her time
You go first buddy, I'll wait here.💂👍
@@ScottSchade-m4g I’m not planning on flying it
@@NathanWetzel Sorry my friend..,but"We" voted for you to "Test",the bird out first.Oh,and I just need you to sign your name on a paper,no big deal,just in case.💂. 🚁🙄
@@ScottSchade-m4g oh, so you have one for me to test then. Where is this test going to occur?
Beautiful bird quite noisy though ❤
I think that’s known as a pusher plane
Just like the XP55 Ascender
Built and RV-4 with my dad while I was growing up. Big sheets of fiberglass, aka asshole blankets. As a kid I would love how soft fiberglass sheets were and pretend to use them as blankets...... well, if you've ever worked with FG, you know what happened next.
Get a stabilizer for your videos they will be a lot better!
Not an FAA approved modification
Don’t care what they say
So you needed a vent? 😅 oil coolers should not leak air
Not every problem needs a 3D printed solution. Tin snips and some sheet aluminum would've done the job just fine. But I get it, you bought the machine and maybe even expenced it so you have to use it.
Not every problem needs a metal solution. A 3D printed prtotype is all it needed
You are completely right, I just don’t have any metal working experience and also it would fit the look I want
Nice! I was thinking of buying one during black friday when prusa offers free shipping. I dont know if my table is big enough though. What is the distance between the front and back feet on the printer? (i dont care about the rest hanging off the table a little I just need the feet to fit on the table)
50cm roughly
Wht r yall amking?
We are designing a new cowl for the Rv-10 and developing the necessary equipment to validate our design
nahhhhhhhhhhhh
Forgot just how slow my ole ender 3 was. Upgraded to a bambu A1 a while ago. So long 1.5 day prints on draft quality
We have a Prusa XL waiting to be assembled to sold some of those issues but none of them have a 450x450 bed which as you can see I’m fully utilising
Noice lad
Good luck, don't forget the fun when you fly them
That’s very true. It’s what make all the work worth it
That’s the way to go! Keep this spark alive!
Printing it vertical will solve all those problems. Just add a nice wide brim and maybe slow the printer down, at least for the upper half.
Will do, thanks for the help. Lots of stuff to learn
based banger
Try printing it verticle, it may have more layer shift problems though, (eaisly sanded away) Good luck!
I thought about that but it turned out the reason was I had layer height way too high and so it had some serious under extrusion.
Lel, sir your PO doesn't state the RFR is a bad mold and the S/N is incorrect. We will have to quote you 40k for an OH.
No worries mate, send me the quote. Or explain your message cause I'm properly confused.
@@NathanWetzel Just joking, most of the time an RP/OH PO is messed up somewhere and the RFR is whatever the customer decides they want it to be. Part of Moog Inc.
Yes
