DynaVibe Presentation at Stinson Summit 2021
Never knew about that. Might be a viable option. I Google searched for “Leather cup seal” & found nothing other than the MUCH larger cups for farm water pumps.
Anybody try an accelerator pump piston cup from an old Rochester or something like that? They were leather with a spring expander inside.
Not bad, wrong title. matter of preference my 108-1 is a much prettier airplane with small tall.....proportionally.
Gorgeous!!!!
I have always wondered when undertaking one of these projects that starts as a basket case, what documents or manuals do you use to understand the reassembly sequence, and identify all the parts? None of the builders I have seen mention the documentation they used in the recap. I assume its a combination of service manuals and tribal knowledge?
Preston tucker bought the Franklin engine co in 1948 and converted the factory into building watercooled Franklin engines for the tucker automobile 🚘. After the big three,(like our government today), bankrupted him, Franklin bought it back.
I thought bayou could have at least showed us a photo of the complete plane?
You did a great job! It sounds like you were selling it, so I hope you got what you wanted for it.
Any idea where to buy the seals? Did not find at Univair
Wow! Beautiful job. Take care of that wonderful wife!
Wow what a great Job
Tucker cars did have a Franklin engine.
Thank you for sharing this
Thank you for sharing!
That is beautiful. I am a RC MODEL builder and flyer. I have a set of plans for a 1/4 scale version of the 108-2 but a easy mod on the vert stab to make a -3. I would love to model it after yours.
My Dad owned a 108-3 when I was a young kid (N519C). It was scrapped about 10 years after he and my uncle, who was a co-owner and had worked as a draftsman for Stinson Aircraft Company after World War II, sold it. I still love Stinsons and would love to own one some day.
No better time to own one than now.
Thank you for posting.
can you DM?PM me about the coil line oring part? I rebuilt the same masters and still have to pump the brakes. I am thinking the coil line rubber washer/oring may be bad. So looking to replace as the next step before rebuilding the wheel side. Eric Broadwell ebroadwell on stinson org.
Thank you for the video, it helped. Let me just suggest to have a parts list in your description or as a pinned comment.
Update on the sales status. This beauty has just been sold.
Years ago there were surplus AC Spark Plugs that worked quite well.
Excellent work, I am concerned there are no comment replies….. :O
Hello mashine shop services 24/7
Ha ha ha piper 170?
I found the piston stem darn near impossible to push through the stem seal in the cap. I had my local machine shop make me a 'pilot' the same diameter as the stem (cone shaped) which I used to spread the seal as the stem was pushed through the seal. Its a real tight fit.
So the nut at the bottom of the Stem, I see on mine that it is “Crimped” and you mentioned that on your video. My question is this, do you just un-screw it off? Will it come off with that crimp? When I reinstall do I need a new nut or just re-crimp the original? Thanks
My Grandpa Raymond Stinson, Eddie’s step son, would have loved this. He was mentored by Eddie since an early age. I feel like he would’ve been in awe of this.
Cool my grandfather was vice president of the stinson operators association from the early 30s and flew the older radial ones as air taxis based out of detroit
My Grandma worked at the factory in Detroit, and that’s where she met my Grandpa Raymond Stinson ❤
Great presentation. Are there any images or drawings of the low-wing pusher prototype?
If there are, John will have them in his book
@@randy1701 Good idea. Just purchased both volumes.
Gorgeous aircraft! I know a guy that built an airplane and then he sold it. Never even flew it, he just liked the process of working and creating something. As a pilot, I don't understand that, but I can respect it.
Thanks again Jack. I watch this video every year to refresh my memory of the valve adjustment procedure. Your support is appreciated!
What a beautiful airplane! Great job and sounds like a really great guy!
Listening to the RPM range question & answer made me wonder if dynamically balancing the prop w/ engine & airframe with like a DynaVibe, would help reduce the risk or time on breaking the crank? Thank you all again for editing and producing these videos.
“When im outside, and in the cockpit over here”. Lol thats funny
This video was fine as far as it went but the job was unfinished. Why stop in the middle? The speaker needed to continue to take apart the stem, insert the O-rings and reassemble everything. He even mentioned that the top O-ring was difficult which should be an important point. He leaves us hanging with a "Good luck".......sheeeesh. This video could have been great but wound up being very incomplete in spite of such a good start.
Stunning, I really appreciate the work you did on this beautiful airplane. Makes me want to do something like that in the future.:)
Gorgeous. Do you happen to have a pattern or CAD file for the panel you might share?
That is a beautiful love story.
15:35 he prefers to spend his time with his wife rather than rebuilding an aircraft. That man has his priorities right. You could always buy an aircraft, they come and go, but a good wife that you both want to spend time together (after many years together) cannot be bought with money.
Excellent video. Exactly what we needed. Thanks.
I feel you really love that plane. You really love to do refurbishment in a 100%+ way!!! Chapeau! You are a wise and good man! Enjoy flying!
Awesome airplane. I know the video was done some time ago, is the airplane still for sale?
Let me know if want to part with that beauty....I'll keep it pure
I have a stinson 108-1 short kit ready to build running a 35cc two stroke rear ex thanks for the walk though I might copy your aircraft if you dont mind
Looking into purchasing a 108. These videos have been informative. If you're generally running on non-leaded fuel out of your own field, are there any suggestions on keeping the lead buildup to a minimum when you're making cross countries and have to use 100LL?
There’s 2 additives that can be used to scavenge lead for use in our engines, Decalin Runup & Alcor TCP. Both are essentially the same, but Alcor is the only one legal to use. The trick is that it carries a hazmat designation so you can’t take it in the plane. Decalin has not went through a certification process, so it’s technically illegal to use, but it does not have the hazmat designation, so you can carry it. It’s a Catch22 situation!
Scrap AL? Are you proud of that? You should look at some older planes and see how they did that.
Odd question but I’m running out of options. Do you guys know any one who could help me do a pre buy inspection on a 108-2 in WA?
Have you looked at stinsonowners.org for the section on mechanics & people availayto do that? You can also ask on the forum there or on the Facebook page.
Randy Phillips oh I didn’t see the section for mechanics I will go look now! Thank you
The Stinson Station Wagon is the most beautiful airplane ever built.
THAT WAS A PLEASURE TO WATCH, WHAT AN AWESOME CHAP
Thank you for sharing! This video is packed with interesting information! Also enjoyed hearing about your Wing Rib Collection John :-), very cool! May you have much happy and safe flying!
