  • My hangar is literally a toaster oven.... Regardless, I installed a new Skytec Starter on the Red Rocket. With a bit of temporary wiring and super cool push to start switch, we get the starter whirling away on the first try! THANK GOODNESS I remembered to remove the ring gear before testing...

    That SkyTech starter combined with the power in the EarthX battery will make every engine start a pleasant event Carl. Both products bring serious weight reduction. A very good thing. I just installed AeroLeds Suntail on my Kitfox today. 👍 It is incredibly bright. You’ll love their lights on your Red Rocket too. Nice progress. See you at Oshkosh.

      I've been working through the mounting of the lights in my head today. The Beacon to be exact. Trying to figure out the best mounting solution. I may just cut the fabric...

    Great stuff, thanks again for the video. Quick question, shouldn’t the master toggle have the red cover on it and the avionics switch have the black on it? Just curious and probably just a personal preference :-)

    • @flywiththeguys

      It’s just personal preference. I did black on the master because it actually controls ground to the solenoid and the avionics controls positive to the electronics.

    The starter you installed is for a 122 tooth ring gear and the one you took off is for a 144 tooth. Did you install the wrong starter or is there womething else you're not telling us?

      Someone along the way installed the wrong starter. It's a common problem, enough that Skytec makes a little tool to help you figure out which one you have. We actually made a little video on it here - ua-cam.com/video/ZRkCLNMPM9E/v-deo.html

    Hello, my daughter has been interested in learning how to fly. She is only 14, can she learn at the deer valley airport? Or does she have to wait to be older? She wants to be a pilot.
    - Thank

      YOu have to be 15 to get a student pilot certificate, but that doesn't mean you cant start training before then. You just cant solo. THEN, you have to be 17 to become a pilot. I encourage her to dig in and learn as much as she can. The learning side of aviation is usually the one thats forgotten about and holds a lot of people up.

      Thank you so much! I got her the Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. Is there anything else you would recommend before i take her to a flight school?

    With respect, regarding the title thumbnail, it's "Could've...", or "Could have...", not "Could of..."

      Thank you. Unfortunately I was part of a pilot program for reading that failed, leaving me learning to read when everyone else was learning grammar. I’ll get that updated! I appreciate the heads up!

    It’s cool to me, knowing you are filming, just across the valley from me- I base at KFFZ. When you mention the heat and that there is humidity… Yep the monsoon flow has finally arrived for 2023 🥵

    • @flywiththeguys
      @flywiththeguys  Рік тому +1

      It was rather humid this morning, but it was cooler than yesterday. I'm annoyed by how hot it's getting through... and the amount of work I still need to do! If you're ever up at KDVT I love showing off the plane!
