Yes, stripping a twostroke down to the neccessities and bolting a prop to it is a great way to go. Maybe a lighter flywheel and a better exhaust and slightly advanced timing can further enhance performance, at least for the time being...

Are you kidding me? I just spent the past 5 days with a leaf blower strapped on my back and all this time I could have been flying around with it instead of chasing leaves around in my yard.
If the electric leaf blower weighed half as much as the gas one, could you use two of them? The tail boom might need to be a giant Y duct to avoid accidental differential thrust, though, and that seems like it’d be heavy. It wouldn’t account for the differential drag, but I don’t know if that’s an actual problem at these speeds. Maybe mount them vertically instead of side-by-side?
Peter.. You're a Saint for staying so calm after catastrophic crashes.. So much work into the plane just to watch it explode into pieces and you laugh it off and get right back to work rebuilding. Amazing.
I'm so glad you uploaded Peter. This week for me has been pretty shitty and I fr needed this. Your videos are legit the best and make me happy as well. Keep up the good work my dude! ✌️
Add a large diameter propeller to the starter clutch on the front of the plane (gas blower). Alter the clutch so you can wrap a rope around the outer circumference of it and pull start it without interfering with propeller. Turn the additional rotational force of the crankshaft into thrust with a "Puller prop." Increase main landing gear strut height if necessary for prop to ground clearance.
Damn I really want you guys to try the gas leaf blower again! I really think you can get it to work if you try to reduce the drag with some kind of lightweight nose cone around the engine and throw away that muffler and get an aluminum one.I'm sure there's more stuff you can cut off that engine as well like a bunch of the cooling fins. No need to stay cool we're just trying to get one quality flight here LOL. Maybe a little more wing possibly as well??

Its hard to open computer fans, but if done correctly you can bypass the IC, connect to the actual motor windings and overdive the motor. If you just put more voltage through the input wires, you would just burn the IC that controls the motor.
Power to weight ratio of a pc fan might not be good enough for a quad copter but a plane might work if the ic is circumvented. Server fans should work out of the box I think.
I think your original gas powered leaf blower would have worked if you used a biplane or triplane design, you just didn't have enough wing area. Early aircraft designers had to work with unbelievably underpowered engines, but they worked because of the huge wing area of biplanes. They may not have flown fast, but they flew.
Too much drag, not enough thrust. I'm not an expert or anything but judging by how bad the thrust to weight ratio is adding more wings would only make the problem worse. Yeah you get more lift, but does it matter when you're going too slow for it to matter?
@@Robert-qm7yi The primary advantage of the biplane over a monoplane is to combine great stiffness with light weight. Stiffness requires structural depth and, where early monoplanes had to have this added with complicated extra bracing, the box kite or biplane naturally has a deep structure and is therefore easier to make both light and strong. A braced monoplane wing must support itself fully, while the two wings of a biplane help to stiffen each other. The biplane is therefore inherently stiffer than the monoplane. Also, the structural forces in the spars of a biplane wing tend to be lower, so the wing can use less material to obtain the same overall strength and is therefore much lighter. A disadvantage of the biplane was the need for extra struts to space the wings apart, although the bracing required by early monoplanes reduced this disadvantage. The low power supplied by the engines available in the first years of aviation meant that aeroplanes could only fly slowly. This required an even lower stalling speed, which in turn required a low wing loading, combining both large wing area with light weight. A biplane wing of a given span and chord has twice the area of a monoplane the same size and so can fly more slowly, or for a given flight speed can lift more weight. Alternatively, a biplane wing of the same area as a monoplane has lower span and chord, reducing the structural forces and allowing it to be lighter. Biplanes suffer aerodynamic interference between the two planes. This means that a biplane does not in practice obtain twice the lift of the similarly-sized monoplane. The farther apart the wings are spaced the less the interference, but the spacing struts must be longer. Given the low speed and power of early aircraft, the drag penalty of the wires and struts and the mutual interference of airflows were relatively minor and acceptable factors.
Those early planes had props, which made a huge amount of airflow on the wings (lift). The biplane took extra advantage of that (not double, but a lot more wing area in the props airflow), so they make ridiculous amounts of lift compared to a turbine/ducted design. I've done a jet powered plane, and wow, you really miss having the high air velocity from the props! That's why a normal RC plane can take off from a standstill (lot of lift even stationary). For ducted/jet you only get lift with relative velocity of the plane.
@@Robert-qm7yi Just adding another deck of wing and a few spars won't increase the drag that significantly compared to biplanes back in WW1. In addition to being biplanes, they also usually had significant numbers of bracing wires to hold the plane together. Pusher types like the Airco D.H.2 had it especially bad, the boom that held the tail on behind the fuselage required a ridiculous number of them to keep it structural. Here's a good video on it: ua-cam.com/video/h4eTBQGbrBU/v-deo.html
@@jakegarrett8109 True, they had props in front wich helped With the airflow on the wings. But, let's not rule it out simply because it's a turbine/ducted design. It is still Worth a try as the biplane configuration can have lighter wings despite it having two planes, rather than a monoplane configuration where the wings are heavier. The reason i'm voting for the biplane design is because you need less speed compared to the monoplane design in order to achieve lift.
I'd like to see a propeller on that 2stroke blower engine. Strip it down to bear minimum. Straight pipe exhaust & air ram intake , running on premium fuel with naphthalene (moth flakes) high octane ;)
Peter, that leaf blower needed tweaking for more output. Suggestions: Remove the head gasket (if the piston doesn't hit the head) for more compression. Check if the carbaretta is restricted and remove anything that retards the throttle linkage (increase the revs). Remove ALL uneccessary weight. Finally ask a petrol head if they have any ideas for increasing the output. Then you wouldn't have to CHEAT and use an electric motor! Good luck on the next try my friend!
@@MilesPrower1992 It Worked on my 50cc motor cycle back in 1988. It was 3 mm thick, I removed it and replaced it with gasket sealant. The bike went from 32mph tops to 46 mph!
To trim weight you could use a grinder to cut most of the heat sink fins off the gas engine. It was most likely designed to be used not moving much but when its flying in a plane and has more air moving over the engine it wont need as large of cooling fins. Same reason why old nitro engines for rc cars have much larger heat sinks then nitro airplane engines.
That wouldn't work. The turbine pull air over the fins, and removing them would cause the engine to overheat and sieze. The movement wouldn't help as the turbine already pulls air over the fins, so there is no increase in airspeed.
except that if you watch a video that was reccommended, youtube will start showing you more videos like it, so watching a video just to make it go away will have the opposite effect, and I know it was probably a joke, but idk I'm stupid.
Try a better quality leaf blower, also add less oil to your 2 stroke mix. It will shorten the engine life but it will lean out an rev harder. There are lots of tuning things you can do to the leaf blower to get a little extra power from it. Maybe also different nozzles. I know you wanted it "stock" but I'd rather see a modified leaf blower fly than a stock leaf blower fail....
@@dirtrider88 The oil is more potent than the gas, so it makes the AFR richer. Less oil means the fuel will be less combustible but ignite faster, because the AFR will be leaner. There would be more gas but the mixture would be leaner. Kinda confusing but if you think about it it makes sense.
I think it will work if you mod the engine, i'm sure you could double the horse power and increase rpm, buy one of those cheap ebay performance exhausts for pocket bikes, get a bigger carburetor, performance spark plug, port and polish, and shave the head. good luck :)
"Performance spark plug" yeah half that crap you don't need. Bigger carb, flow the ports with a dremel maybe skim the head and remove any governers. The timing is usually static and not very advanced so try and add a few degrees if you can but that alone makes a huge difference other than just a good tune and break in.
good idea buddy that might work in a car but might not on a plane . the exaust would stop the air flow and would be heavy. the carb might actually be a good idea also the spark plug idea is good and the the cutting the head part . nice dude
Experimental Fun pb exhausts are for making low end torque, not high rpm power. Won't work in this scenario. Better off finding a pipe for a 1/5 scale buggy. DDM could hook them up.
Dude... You could put a prop in the gas leaf blower... Because when u pull the thingy to start it.. Thats the crank... Obviously that will always be spining when u turn the engine on
If you're going to use the tricycle configuration, I'd recommend doing a 1+2 configuration, rather than the 2+1 that you've got going. Alternatively, put a skid under the rudder, and save yourself the weight of the 3rd wheel. I'd also recommend doubling. Run two of those leaf blowers, and you'll get more thrust.
Get another Lynxx blower from Harbor Freight, remove its fan and replace with an EDF and electronics to run off the stock battery and switches. If it can make lotsa thrust, make it an airplane without hacking up the blower housing.
you should have used E85 and use a colder spark plug then put a propeller on the pulley starter shaft, use an electric drill to start the motor were the bolt holds the propeller and drop that heavy exhaust manifold!
Peter Spirol ur amazing you never clickbait and fail like other youtubers do. You always do it if you try to do it. This one is amazing.I thought it was impossible but you really did it
noejacklou . I started a raw .049 engine in my hand ....had to see what it would feel like . It bolted like rocket straight. out of my nine year old fingers . Scared the heck out of me in a good way.
Buy 4 leaf blowerst and put 2 at the bottom and 2 at the back that means when it os in the air u can have the 2 at the bottom pushing up and the back giving speed
weld on a big propeller on that spinney thing lol ( on the gas leaf blower ) The air and the thrust from the propeller should give enough lift for a sustained and stable flight..
17:19 The strength is there absolutely but it just the way its harnessed that is wrong. An impeller is not that efficient compared to an ordinary propeller so if you would have stuck that on it instead the power would absolutely have been there and would have flown by it self. But I know the challenge was a leaf blower as such it was built.
All he needed to really fly quick was a huge wing that weighed nothing with an aggressive attack posture it didn't even have to be and air foil it just had to be light
Gas blower: remove engine governor, cut mating flange off muffler and weld to piece of tubing (lighter and straight piped), grind off a bunch of excess engine case material, etc. A ton could be done to lighten the blower assembly still and make it produce more power for little to no cost
Your problem is using a Ryobi... really though you need remove intake restrictions, remove weight (grinding away any bit of metal you can from the engine mainly), and if you are able to, improve the gearing to the blower for more fan rpm vs engine rpm
There's two types of blowers. The fan style and the turbo fan blower. The fan style doesn't provide enough thrust. The turbo fan style would work a lot better. There's just no way a fan style would work with the weight and lack of thrust
Now do the make it fly approach! I'd like to see the motor, throttle control and battery from the electric leaf blower used for the power system for an ordinary r/c plane.
A few tips: Spend the extra cash to get something other than a Ryobi. Great tools for their price point, but obscenely heavy. Try it with a lifting body airframe similar to a B2, mount the blower on top. Blower mods: Straight pipe the exhaust and terminate in line with the primary impeller to reduce parasitic drag on the engine (marginal, but every bit helps), strip as much of the housing as possible.
Yes i think weight,drag and wing area was your enemy there .I think maybe experimenting with decreasing wing span and airfoil but increase wing area by extending aileron side of wing towards tail. Ive designed and built acrobatic rc planes and those are the key things that make them able to fly with the heavier motor. It looked like you were super close but needed more wing area to maneuver at such a low air speed. Change in airfoil should reduce drag and gain you a little airspeed further increasing stability and manuverability.
Probably didnt help that there were rather large areas perpendicular to the velocity of the plane, like the mounting "plate" for the main wings and the front of the engine. A nose and a smoother surface over the mount may help
If you want to make a clean bend in that heat treated aluminum you have to anneal or un heat treat it where you want to bend it. First take a candle and blacken up the area you want to soften and then use a propaine torch heat it just until you burn off the black.It will bend much easier and to a smaller radius then.
expansion chamber would probably add too much weight to be an advantage sadly, what would help the most is porting & adding timing (you can get offset woodruff keys for the flywheel to advance a few degrees), then just opening the exhaust up a little more and definitely open up the carb a little, remove the air filter and open the main jet out to correct the mixture at WOT and it'd pick up some power. The engines are far from optimised from the factory but it'd take considerable time and skill (read- lots of 2T tuning experience) to get the best from it.
Another "trick" would be to remove the base gasket and lap the mating surfaces, this has the combined effect of advancing port timing (allowing you to effectively open the tops out by 0.5mm or so to increase duration without ruining the low end/starting performance), and raising the compression ratio slightly too. This and the timing bump would make it a bit harder on the pull start but then again you could even do away with that and use an electric hand held starter and lighten the flywheel a good percentage at the same time.

@@Robert-qm7yi Just adding another deck of wing and a few spars won't increase the drag that significantly compared to biplanes back in WW1. In addition to being biplanes, they also usually had significant numbers of bracing wires to hold the plane together. Pusher types like the Airco D.H.2 had it especially bad, the boom that held the tail on behind the fuselage required a ridiculous number of them to keep it structural.
Here's a good video on it:
ua-cam.com/video/h4eTBQGbrBU/v-deo.html
@@jakegarrett8109 True, they had props in front wich helped With the airflow on the wings.
But, let's not rule it out simply because it's a turbine/ducted design.
It is still Worth a try as the biplane configuration can have lighter wings despite it having two planes, rather than a monoplane configuration where the wings are heavier.
The reason i'm voting for the biplane design is because you need less speed compared to the monoplane design in order to achieve lift.

I'd like to see a propeller on that 2stroke blower engine. Strip it down to bear minimum. Straight pipe exhaust & air ram intake , running on premium fuel with naphthalene
(moth flakes) high octane ;)
You should go back to home depot and try to return it 😂
If it was amazon they would accept the return then sell it to one of those youtube channels that buy return items.
I followed the instructions to the T and I accidentally made an airplane. Will you compensate me?
Yeah, tell em it didn't work, they'll take it back. 😂
Tell them it didn't fly as well as you thought it would.
Yeah! Tell them this thing doesn't fly worth w crap
Peter, that leaf blower needed tweaking for more output. Suggestions: Remove the head gasket (if the piston doesn't hit the head) for more compression. Check if the carbaretta is restricted and remove anything that retards the throttle linkage (increase the revs). Remove ALL uneccessary weight. Finally ask a petrol head if they have any ideas for increasing the output. Then you wouldn't have to CHEAT and use an electric motor!
Good luck on the next try my friend!
Remove the head gasket... I dont think that's how this works.
@@MilesPrower1992 It Worked on my 50cc motor cycle back in 1988. It was 3 mm thick, I removed it and replaced it with gasket sealant. The bike went from 32mph tops to 46 mph!
@@natsterjam I was under the impression that you were telling him to run it metal-to-metal, no seal at all. Makes sense though.
flame thrower leaf blower.

That is a good idea
Anneal that aluminum before bending and then quench after bending. Also take the leaf blower motor and add a prop.
He should use Flex Seal or Flex Tape to fix all the gaps in his aero in future projects
*NoW tHaT's A lOt oF dAmAgE!*
To trim weight you could use a grinder to cut most of the heat sink fins off the gas engine. It was most likely designed to be used not moving much but when its flying in a plane and has more air moving over the engine it wont need as large of cooling fins. Same reason why old nitro engines for rc cars have much larger heat sinks then nitro airplane engines.
That wouldn't work. The turbine pull air over the fins, and removing them would cause the engine to overheat and sieze. The movement wouldn't help as the turbine already pulls air over the fins, so there is no increase in airspeed.
Are you happy UA-cam I finally watched it
And It was worth your time :).
Yeah, UA-cam has ruined their algorithms. I get the same 50 suggested videos constantly.
@@FelonyVideos ikr same
At least it’s the right type of suggested video for me.
except that if you watch a video that was reccommended, youtube will start showing you more videos like it, so watching a video just to make it go away will have the opposite effect, and I know it was probably a joke, but idk I'm stupid.
Your using a motor that is a generation or two back obsolete. You might
consider trying to use a Dyson vacuum unit as a blower. Just a
thought.
Try a better quality leaf blower, also add less oil to your 2 stroke mix. It will shorten the engine life but it will lean out an rev harder.
There are lots of tuning things you can do to the leaf blower to get a little extra power from it. Maybe also different nozzles. I know you wanted it "stock" but I'd rather see a modified leaf blower fly than a stock leaf blower fail....
Yep. A better (or none at all) filter, a straight pipe, and a better turbine would make this thing work well.
@@boostaddict_ Give it a chamber on the pipe to "supercharge" it.
using less oil will enrich the mixture. SMH.
@@dirtrider88 I was thinking the same thing.
@@dirtrider88 The oil is more potent than the gas, so it makes the AFR richer. Less oil means the fuel will be less combustible but ignite faster, because the AFR will be leaner. There would be more gas but the mixture would be leaner. Kinda confusing but if you think about it it makes sense.

I think it will work if you mod the engine, i'm sure you could double the horse power and increase rpm, buy one of those cheap ebay performance exhausts for pocket bikes, get a bigger carburetor, performance spark plug, port and polish, and shave the head. good luck :)
"Performance spark plug" yeah half that crap you don't need. Bigger carb, flow the ports with a dremel maybe skim the head and remove any governers. The timing is usually static and not very advanced so try and add a few degrees if you can but that alone makes a huge difference other than just a good tune and break in.
good idea buddy that might work in a car but might not on a plane . the exaust would stop the air flow and would be heavy. the carb might actually be a good idea also the spark plug idea is good and the the cutting the head part . nice dude
Experimental Fun pb exhausts are for making low end torque, not high rpm power. Won't work in this scenario. Better off finding a pipe for a 1/5 scale buggy. DDM could hook them up.
Toms Tech and how exactly do you adjust timing on a 2 stroke?
@@chaegibson720 on that engine, move the flywheel by grinding down the with of the "key", one millimeter. that part of it that sticks up

Its the rap if fernanflor
Now he needs to make a helicopter out of a weed whacker
first he needs to take my leaf blower cousins to the hospital
Lol
Since the plane didn't work out, make a leaf blower boat out of the remains
Does 2x weed whacker = potential osprey tilt rotor?
Yes
Dude... You could put a prop in the gas leaf blower... Because when u pull the thingy to start it.. Thats the crank... Obviously that will always be spining when u turn the engine on
Por wat? The idea was a leafblower plane not a two stroke propeller rc plane.
@@santiagoperez2094 bro it will still be using the air from the leaf blower ...
if you put a bigger carb, port the motor slightly and tuned pipe. It will have a crap ton of power.
And get rid of the wheels..we don't need no steenkin' wheels. Plus you have the SamCat launch system.
@@BrilliantDesignOnline lol i laughed so hard at the "sam cat launch system "
Running it too much faster would probably result in throwing the connecting rod in the engine. (Engine failure)
Nicely done. I particularly enjoyed your judicious choice of the 24" floppy screwdriver, a must for any aeronautic endeavor.
Now make an EDF leaf blower. Should be a better leaf blower right?
Just stick a prop on the front spinning part for double thrust with no extra electric motor and battery weight lol
You wont create any more thrist due to power loss to the blower.
Should have turned the clutch at the front into a propellor somehow
What I thought too
Please launch a self guided glider from a weather balloon
If you're going to use the tricycle configuration, I'd recommend doing a 1+2 configuration, rather than the 2+1 that you've got going. Alternatively, put a skid under the rudder, and save yourself the weight of the 3rd wheel.
I'd also recommend doubling. Run two of those leaf blowers, and you'll get more thrust.
KIK'KIN, ADD TAPERED TUBE AT END OF BLOWER, INCREASING CONGESTED THRUST FROM BLOWER. GREAT WORK GUYS.

this is why i still come on youtube.. its not all click bait and red arrows
It has a red arrow though...?
idea 1: electric aircraft catapult so Sam can keep on the camera
idea 2: build a leafblower out of hobby aircraft parts
Actually a scaling catapult system would be a cool thing to develop since it'd be reusable in his videos.
Get another Lynxx blower from Harbor Freight, remove its fan and replace with an EDF and electronics to run off the stock battery and switches. If it can make lotsa thrust, make it an airplane without hacking up the blower housing.
you should have used E85 and use a colder spark plug then put a propeller on the pulley starter shaft, use an electric drill to start the motor were the bolt holds the propeller and drop that heavy exhaust manifold!
E85 makes no power increase in a two stroke
Peter Spirol ur amazing you never clickbait and fail like other youtubers do. You always do it if you try to do it. This one is amazing.I thought it was impossible but you really did it
Cool Profile pic
Reminds me of “Junkyard Wars”. Cool build, yours works a lot better.
I have a great idea, *the crop duster form hell* basically put a flamethrower on a plane
It would make a great snow remover
It could be geared so that the fan spins way faster
Make a plane that flaps its wings like a bird powered by a jigsaw.
StingersSwarm haha that’s on the to try list!
So an Ornithopter?
hook up a prop to a cordless dremel and lets see that sucker fly
nah use an angle grinder

8:12 *Scientific Thug Life* 😎
Buy 4 leaf blowerst and put 2 at the bottom and 2 at the back that means when it os in the air u can have the 2 at the bottom pushing up and the back giving speed
weld on a big propeller on that spinney thing lol ( on the gas leaf blower )
The air and the thrust from the propeller should give enough lift for a sustained and stable flight..
17:19 The strength is there absolutely but it just the way its harnessed that is wrong. An impeller is not that efficient compared to an ordinary propeller so if you would have stuck that on it instead the power would absolutely have been there and would have flown by it self. But I know the challenge was a leaf blower as such it was built.
All he needed to really fly quick was a huge wing that weighed nothing with an aggressive attack posture it didn't even have to be and air foil it just had to be light
Big-time respect, truly awesome build
Gas blower: remove engine governor, cut mating flange off muffler and weld to piece of tubing (lighter and straight piped), grind off a bunch of excess engine case material, etc. A ton could be done to lighten the blower assembly still and make it produce more power for little to no cost

oops, my bad
Its called challenge
@@firtdudecoolmanplayer5357 It's called "A joke".
Your problem is using a Ryobi... really though you need remove intake restrictions, remove weight (grinding away any bit of metal you can from the engine mainly), and if you are able to, improve the gearing to the blower for more fan rpm vs engine rpm
And remove engine governor 👍
They need the tube for that directional vector pressure. Otherwise it's just spreading the pressure everywhere else behind it. :/
There's two types of blowers. The fan style and the turbo fan blower. The fan style doesn't provide enough thrust. The turbo fan style would work a lot better. There's just no way a fan style would work with the weight and lack of thrust
Now do the make it fly approach! I'd like to see the motor, throttle control and battery from the electric leaf blower used for the power system for an ordinary r/c plane.
Dude.you're everywhere!
This channel is awesome.
@@JustPlaneSilly - That I am and that it is :)
You should put a prop on the front of the gas motor.
wouldn't it create turbulence ?
He could have but he said that he wanted to keep the power systems stock
@@guitarsplanes we see how that turned out. He had the electric pop up prop anyway. It would have flown with a prop on the front.
A few tips:
Spend the extra cash to get something other than a Ryobi. Great tools for their price point, but obscenely heavy.
Try it with a lifting body airframe similar to a B2, mount the blower on top.
Blower mods: Straight pipe the exhaust and terminate in line with the primary impeller to reduce parasitic drag on the engine (marginal, but every bit helps), strip as much of the housing as possible.
Great job and don't think for a second that all the time it took to actually put it together between edits is wasted we appreciate the whole process
wow that electric leafblower looks like a 90s VHS camcorder 😂😂😂😂
Sshhh, if he sees this comment he'll try make a VHS fly!
Yes i think weight,drag and wing area was your enemy there .I think maybe experimenting with decreasing wing span and airfoil but increase wing area by extending aileron side of wing towards tail. Ive designed and built acrobatic rc planes and those are the key things that make them able to fly with the heavier motor. It looked like you were super close but needed more wing area to maneuver at such a low air speed. Change in airfoil should reduce drag and gain you a little airspeed further increasing stability and manuverability.
Probably didnt help that there were rather large areas perpendicular to the velocity of the plane, like the mounting "plate" for the main wings and the front of the engine. A nose and a smoother surface over the mount may help
If you want to make a clean bend in that heat treated aluminum you have to anneal or un heat treat it where you want to bend it. First take a candle and blacken up the area you want to soften and then use a propaine torch heat it just until you burn off the black.It will bend much easier and to a smaller radius then.
A 2 stroke exhaust pipe / expansion chamber would give you huge power gains.
^This!
And some porting work.
@@turbofan67 ^Also this!
expansion chamber would probably add too much weight to be an advantage sadly, what would help the most is porting & adding timing (you can get offset woodruff keys for the flywheel to advance a few degrees), then just opening the exhaust up a little more and definitely open up the carb a little, remove the air filter and open the main jet out to correct the mixture at WOT and it'd pick up some power. The engines are far from optimised from the factory but it'd take considerable time and skill (read- lots of 2T tuning experience) to get the best from it.
Another "trick" would be to remove the base gasket and lap the mating surfaces, this has the combined effect of advancing port timing (allowing you to effectively open the tops out by 0.5mm or so to increase duration without ruining the low end/starting performance), and raising the compression ratio slightly too. This and the timing bump would make it a bit harder on the pull start but then again you could even do away with that and use an electric hand held starter and lighten the flywheel a good percentage at the same time.
..but can you make a leafblower from an rc plane? 🤔
