    So I’m currently going to A&P school and every time I watch your videos I recognize something I’ve learned about, for example I’ve worked with composite and micro balloons and it’s cool to see them being used. I’m done with the airframe side and now on to power plant and hearing you talk about oil temp because of viscosities and cooling, well shit I just learned that last week! I also have a love for off road and swing king shocks being used on your long travel tail wheel is so cool!
    Keep up the killer content and never stop rambling cause I’m always pulling something away from your videos.

    Mike,
    Your message after showing the new Wilga brought me to tears. I cannot stress enough how important that message of family and loved ones is. I lost my sister this Christmas, and with losing her I've encountered many regrets and a lot of grief that I don't know quite how to handle. Don't ever take life for granted. Say what you need to say to those around you. Don't leave any words unspoken. Thanks so much for your amazing energy and your inspirational dedication and drive. It really does help others more than I think you'll ever know. Keep being awesome.
    Now get back to work.

    • @dan6778
      @dan6778 4 роки тому +3

      I was thinking the same thing. My crappy home built race car had a thermostat on the additional oil cooler. I wonder if a thermostat reduces flow significantly, therefore not suitable for his high HP application?

    • @thomasaltruda
      @thomasaltruda 4 роки тому +6

      Most aircraft already have one, called a vernatherm. But they still seem to let oil flow to the cooler a little in my experience. Putting a door on the oil cooler is best, and it may allow the cooler to get warm enough so oil doesn’t congeal in the cooler on cold days. Maybe he could put an automatic function on the servo motor, then it can adjust itself without him trying to chase it!

    I learned so much from this video. Most everything we learn has an application beyond the first intended use. Thankyou,

    My motto: “If you haven’t bled on them, you haven’t worked on them!” I nearly blacked both my eyes one time when my LED headlamp slipped out of my hands while removing it. Mike,Please come to the AOPA fly-in in Casper WY in June.

    Draco X!! I knew she'd be back in one form or another! 👍😎
    You have an amazing mind, Mike! Love watching your solutions to the problems you face during these builds.
    I remember back in the day, I had a '78 Cutlass with a Goodwrench crate 350. I installed a cheap crappy chrome thermostat housing, which unbeknownst to me, had eroded away to nothing through electrolysis. This caused my coolant temp to never exceed 140° - the result was no heat in winter, and, milky oil from excessive condensation. I'll never forget the shock of seeing how degraded that housing was! Looked like it was in the ocean for 20 years. It was only a month or so old!! What a difference with a new housing and thermostat! Actually had heat again, and all the engine moisture was gone.
    Hope you, Chandra, and the family had a great Christmas, and hope all of you have a very Happy, Healthy, Prosperous, and Safe 2020 ... with blue skies, tailwinds, and zero turbulence to boot! We love you guys!! 👍🍻
