First flight: after rebuild
Переглядів 7705 місяців тому
Here it is the very first flight after the lycoming engine rebuild. See what I did to get here and what steps I employed to begin the engine break-in process. Hope you enjoy this one as it will be the last one in this series. More updates will come in other videos as I continue on my path to new adventures in aviation. If you are new here and haven't done so yet, please make sure you subscribe ...
What did it cost: you will be shocked!!

It is time to get this plane back in the air. The engine build is now complete. The big question is how much did it cost to rebuild my lycoming O-360 airplane engine!. You will be surprised. I didn't even believe when I was tallying what I spent. Thanks to my buddy Claude who not only helped me out but also kept me off the ledge through the entire process LOL. Thanks to Doug at Kadex Aero Suppl...

    The Rans S-14 does not meet the Ultralight 254 pound weight requirement with any engine including a 447. This is a Light Sport aircraft and requires a certificate to fly it.

      Ahhh easy. It’s static tint. You can usually pick it up at the car tint places. Or car parts stores. It’s a 1 square yard piece cut to shape. You can apply it like you do automobile tint (with a squeegee) and make it really nice. I don’t bother because I only put it on for cross countries.

    If you get a chance, a walkthrough the homebuilt show plane area would be nice. EAA doesn't cover that much. Not the massive Van's area but the traditional parking for the wide variety of homebuilts. Like your Lancair, Glasairs, T-18s etc. Unless they've migrated over to homebuilt camping, like in SNF.
