As always I'm already looking forward to the video. Nice lathe upgrade, for the next tool upgrade be on the lookout for an old millrite knee mill to replace the round column.
I’d love to get another mill but I have to admit that it’s size and rigidity don’t affect my ability to make parts currently so I’m holding off until I get a bigger shop. I’m already out of room!
I see you doing all of this. The question that is coming to mind is do you have your A&P? Even through this is a lightsport, doesn't the FAA have to approve all of these alternations?
Or the tig welder or the many other tools I have. I thought about how to handle tools in this project and my honest conclusion is that anyone with the skills to do work like this will likely also have tools to do it so I’m not counting them against the budget.
Mmmm,not necessarily. I dont have any of those tools that you got. Just the bare minimum so if I was to start from scratch then new tools would have to be included in the budget. Same goes with regular life. Anything one wants to buy has to be within a budget if there living off a budget. You cant go buy a plane if you dont have the means to build it. That's part of the budget no matter what. You buy a model kit for instance. It doesnt stop there. You need the supplies to build that kit. Just saying.
Fair argument for your situation. Realistically though I can’t see where many people are going to feel comfortable doing major fabrication work and not already have some tools to accomplish that task. This is something I should mention in the video as well but the other thing is that you don’t need these tools in a lot of cases to get an airplane in the air. I use them because I can and it’s fun but you could actually just drill and bolt tubes and existing pieces and make something different that would also work of just not tackle the same tasks I do. This project isn’t a road map of how to do this, just inspiration that it is possible. I should put a piece in the video on that, thanks for the idea!
Ultimately yes. Initially the surfaces will remain fairly stock while we test fly the engine. After we’re done with that it’ll come home for more work including control surfaces.
I have never started an Instagram for my channel. Need to do that one of these days... currently I’d say just subscribe here and keep up with updates. I do post on the experimental aircraft channel group Facebook page occasionally.
I'm not trying to be weird but I'm 90% sure I pass that aircraft tail sticking out of a garage on the way to work everyday. I could be wrong, but don't worry I won't give any details out. Tried to message you but can't figure out how on here.
If you mean the stuff I use when I’m machining sometimes, that’s machinists blue. Search that on Amazon and you’ll find it easily. Dykem is the brand I tend to see.
For the modified controls? I can’t in good conscience suggest anyone follow what I do. It’s far too much work for someone not ultimately switching to split flaps and ailerons with pull pull cables.
Do you have the EAA Solidworks? I don’t mind sharing, there’s nothing really special about what I’ve done. That or I can send over a dimensional drawing.
I'm an old man(67) but when I was 21 I blew my whole income tax return on a used Atlas lathe with lots of extra tooling. That lathe is still on duty in my shop and will outlast me. Why did you need a new torque tube system? Janky original design?
Honestly I should have left it alone for the first portion of the build as I didn’t expect it to be as big a project as it turned out to be. Ultimately I’ll be driving separated flaps and ailerons with pull pull cables and for that I needed a new control system. This gives me the base for that.
Love Budget Bush Plane.....If you already have complete machine shop in your garage.
I like the old bench lathe looks in good shape and is perfect for a garage or small shop work.
Nice little build! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Glad you were able to pick up a new(er) lathe relatively quickly. Great luck on the build and looking forward to the next video!
I lucked out so much with that lathe. I could have gushed about it for a while but didn’t want to lose focus.

Really enjoying the rebuild vids.
Thanks!
Good video 👍👍💯💯💯🔥
Thanks!
Nice work Ian! looking forward to more.
keep it going. Good stuff.
nicely done. I really enjoy your way of presenting this
Thanks! I’m trying to be as consistent as possible so people can follow along.
Yo man nice roll break
I see you doing all of this. The question that is coming to mind is do you have your A&P? Even through this is a lightsport, doesn't the FAA have to approve all of these alternations?
I do enjoy seeing metal work done as well as wood work. But you didn't include the new lathe into the budget.

Really looking forward to this build. Are you going to change any of the control surfaces?
Ultimately yes. Initially the surfaces will remain fairly stock while we test fly the engine. After we’re done with that it’ll come home for more work including control surfaces.
Awesome 👏
Nice work
Amazing video my father enjoys watching your avid videos. What are you doing with it in the future?
Too much to list in one place but if you watch the first video in the series I detail out most of my plans.
@@ianslife210 do you have Instagram? Or other ways to fallow along with your passion?

I’ve been following the budget build , what happened you stopped.
I'm not trying to be weird but I'm 90% sure I pass that aircraft tail sticking out of a garage on the way to work everyday.
I could be wrong, but don't worry I won't give any details out.

Little machine shop has the parts to repair your mini lathe
I considered a repair but decided I had outgrown the mini lathe anyway.
Nice plane
I think so too!
@@ianslife210 my dad have cessna 172
@@ianslife210 I like your videos because your videos is inspiration me.
What prop did you go for? Thanks.
Luga/NR/kook/airtrikes (all the same brand). Same prop my rans got but in a reverse rotation and a bit shorter.
@@ianslife210 Luga/kool is good!
Hey Ian what is the blue paint?
If you mean the stuff I use when I’m machining sometimes, that’s machinists blue. Search that on Amazon and you’ll find it easily. Dykem is the brand I tend to see.
@@ianslife210 thanks
Awesome vid. Where abouts you live. If in wa state I'll take that old.one off your hands
Are you willing/able to share the files for the linkages?
For the modified controls? I can’t in good conscience suggest anyone follow what I do. It’s far too much work for someone not ultimately switching to split flaps and ailerons with pull pull cables.
I'm working on a clean sheet design and have had a hard time finding detailed drawings and dimensions for torque tubes on existing designs.
Do you have the EAA Solidworks? I don’t mind sharing, there’s nothing really special about what I’ve done. That or I can send over a dimensional drawing.
I use Fusion 360, but dimensional drawings would be more than enough!
Email me at contact@camerawings.com and I’ll see what I can put together.
😊👍..!
Hey I’ll have you know I like tools
I'm an old man(67) but when I was 21 I blew my whole income tax return on a used Atlas lathe with lots of extra tooling. That lathe is still on duty in my shop and will outlast me. Why did you need a new torque tube system? Janky original design?

I'll take that lathe off your hands if you are willing to part with it.
I already sold it locally. I needed it out from underfoot.
