    This is not me or my Ultrastar, so I can't answer specific questions about this particular plane even though I can probably answer general ultralight aircraft questions, as I almost bought an Ulrastar project for $700. It required welding repairs to the frame which is why I passed on it.
    I have three other ultralight aircraft. I bought my VJ-24w for $38, my Woodhopper for $99, and my Poorboy I got free. I passed on a forth plane that was free. I can't recommend flying any of them now; there are better ways to fly today that don't require you being in a cockpit. A private plane is obsolete and a lot of trouble and hassle to maintain.
    Before you even think of buying a god damn fool ass obsolete death trap airplane :) , get yourself a simulator and spend 2,000 hours in it learning how to fly. These things were popular in the 70's during thegolden age of ultralights but are now obsolete unless you're one to really cream your pants for just taking off, flying straight and level for miles, turning, and landing, while being terrified out of your gourd.
    Like I said, there are better, cheaper, safer ways to fly now. Simulators. Quadcopters. Radio Controlled aircraft. Digital FPV.

    The main benefit of the Ultrasta was, if you crashed, the pilots body up front absorbed the full impact of the crash and the plane remained mostly unharmed. Chyeah. Still want to fly an Ultrastar and think it's the grooviest utralightever?
    If you have any questions about any particular rare ultralight you can't find much info on, email mea and I can look up the specs in my copy of Berger Burr's Ultralight Encyclopedia.
    Now I don't even talk to General Aviation pilots, they are all douche bags to women pilots. I can fly rings around them like they were standing still now so I could care less. Now I just punch them in the face and I keep on steppin'. :-) Phuck General aviation.
    If you want to read more about my experience hanging out at an internet water cooler with jerkbag guys who try to build airplanes, youc an read about it here:

    Simulators.
    That's your ticket to flying on the cheap... not any old ultralight...
    If you've already got a gaming computer, and a joystick or RC transmitter controller, with a simulator you literally could be flying in less than an hour.

      Not counting the era of Santos Dumont, Hans Grade, the Wright Brothers, etc (which were the original gangsta ultralights), the first resurgent modern golden age of ultralight's in the early 1980's was invented by a Aussie playing around with tugging hang gliders behind motorboats... and it was the Skycraft Scout. The granddaddy of all golden age ultralights.
      If the Skycraft Scout is the granddaddy, then own perhaps the grandmother of all ultralights, what came second but first in America, the Volmer Jensen VJ-24w motorglider. Both super rare by now.

    While the engineering seems to be good, and one must appreciate the entrepreneurial initiative, this type of plane is a suicide machine; it will drop like a rock with an engine-out.

    • @choppergirl
      @choppergirl  Рік тому +4

      The Ultrastar came out in 1982 during the golden age of ultralights. The glide ratio is probably about the same as other ultralights, roughly 10:1... about the same as a 747. 10 feet forward for every foot lost of altitude... to maintain the same speed. If you're a mile up, you can keep on flying for 10 more miles.
      The critical point to observe with this or any other ultralight is as soon as the engine goes out, to point the nose downward immediately otherwise your speed will quickly bleed off due to drag and you will stall.
      As the engine is low on this plane the nose should drop naturally when the power behind the pilot pushing the nose up is removed, but on ultralights and other aircraft with the engine mounted up high above the center of gravity as soon that force is removed pushing the nose down, ti will want to pitch up pronouncedly. So on a high engined aircraft it's even more important to jam the stick forward on an engine out.
      The pilot is the main weight of the airplane.. roughly 200 lbs, with most of the rest of the plane itself all together coming in at 250 lbs. So the CG in an ultralight is usually near the pilot. In the case of the Ultrastar, the engine is right behind the pilot, so if it pitches up, it would be mostly due to the drag of the wing.
      Keep the nose down below the horizon and "fly the wing, not the engine", and you're fine. Glider pilots after all make ever landing perfect every time with no engine.. at al..
      Most general aviation pilots however, skip glider school :-/ So when that big fan stops turning, they panic.
      If you're ever in an airplane and the engines go out, push the stick forward and zero in on watching your airspeed dial. Keep it constant above the stall speed. If it drops, more nose forward, if it gets too fast and the altitude drop too much for your taste, raise the stick.
      Pick out a nice clear place to land somewhere mostly straight ahead of you, and just accept that yes it will be a bit embarrassing you make an off field landing, but you and the airplane (mostly) will survive. Don't make the fatal turn back to base mistake of many pilots and try and turn around back to the airport, or you will lose altitude rapidly.
      The time your engine will most likely go out is right after take off (cold engine, steep climb angle, water or air in gas line, old gas, something vibrates loose missed during safety check, etc), so check as much as you can on the ground first and warm up that engine good, and those satellite maps for all the clear places ahead of the end of the runway to land on... on your smart phone... ahead of time before you take off.
      Thanks for commenting ! :) Happy flying
      Now, a quad copter, what I fly, will drop like a rock. No helicopter autorotation on that one... lose power completely and you're now a bowling ball with zero control inputs. Usually though the battery sags first letting you know... yeah, we're losing power here... time to land.

    From what little is visible, looks like you did a pretty good job, however, it seems like you didn't want people to get a real peak at your Ultrastar. You probably had a camera attached to your head/helmet but you never looked up either at your wings or even while flying, we couldn't see the strip/runway until you touched down. It would be nice if you could only do a true walk around and let people see what it looks like from a distance and what it looks like up close, the wings, the fuselage, the empennage, the cage. Tell us what kind of fabric and what kind of a paint you put on. What was easy and what was difficult. Lessons learnt, etc. Did you do anything to the motor. It does look like either you or the previous owner changed the landing gear. A comment about that would be nice to know. Was it sponsored by John Deer? or are you simply a fan.

    • @choppergirl
      @choppergirl  Рік тому +3

      Again not me or my plane. Check the vidro description for my thoughts on tge Ultrastar as a plane. I wouldn't recommend it because look at it... in a head on crash what part absorbs all the impact? Why, its the squishy pilot way out up front. The landing gear is fragile and the complex steel tube cockpit frame is a royal jigsaw to build or repair.
      The VJ-24w I got instead has a muchvsimple bolt together frame designed for anyone with garage skills could build.
      I lost interest in my 3 ultralights because I had no interest in all the massive work sewing and covering the surfaces with dacron.
      Also there are better cheaper safer and easier wats to fly... you no longer have to be in a cockpit to enjoy flying. Aviation has comeva long way in 40 years! Homebuilts are now rather... nostalgic and obsolete. A lot of guys though never got tge memo... and still think you need to build a plane from scratch to fly.
      My advice not is learn to fly first, then buy an already flying plane. Building a plane first and never learning to fly and gunning it down tge runway is tge worst way to go, even if flying is totally intuitive to you and your a natural.
      See video description for more info. Visit my website in my channel about box to see my old pkanes. Two out of three of them are super rare and case studies in what is tge bare minimum needed to build to build an airplane.

    • @choppergirl
      @choppergirl  Рік тому +2

      Usually on the Kolb Ultrastar they use a Cuyuna 2 stroke snow mobile engine of about 35hp. I forget the model. They also use a Rotax 503 of about the same horsepower. The main concern on the Ultrastar is you're limited in prop size... you can only go so big before you're hitting the ground or your tail boom. Smaller props turning faster are not as effective as larger props turning slower.
      A reduction belt or chain drive is also used to reduce the motor speed down to a slower prop speed. It also somewhat protect the engine crankshaft from getting damaged if you have a prop strike. On mine the ratio is from memory 1 : 2.1 but don't quote me on that because it's been 10 years since I measured with a tape measure wrapped around the the belt drive pulleys. The pitch of your prop (the angle it corkscrews through the air) is also a critical factor, and there is some math involved as well as trial and error. One combination may produce best climb performance, another best cruise performance.

    • @choppergirl

      @@mosesmuhd7694 - My best advice would be not to try and build an airplane at all - but instead built a computer simulator first that you can fly in all you want for next to nothing. Get yourself an Interlink Realflight USB controller off ebay for $35... and then a decent graphics card for your computer... Geforce GT910 or higher. And then get a copy of some flight sim - Liftoff for quadcopters, Realflight for RC planes, or MS Flight Smiluator for flying airplanes. Learn to fly in any of those, and if after half a year or a year of flying around in that, if you still want to build a quad/rc/airplane, you'll know which way you want to go.
      My own advice would be to get into fpv quadcopters instead. Safer, cheaper, more portable, way more aerobatic, much easier to transport and store, and just as complicated with as steep a learning curve. fpv.air-war.org
      But if you absolutely had to get an ultralight airplane, which I can't recommend any more, the Kitfox is the best parasol one probably. If you had to build one from scratch, the VJ-24w is probably the easiest as it's all alluminum tube and pop rivet, thought hat might be hard to get in Africa. If you had to buy a used one on the cheap, a B1RD if you can find one flying - lots of wires though. I wouldn't recommend trying to build an airplane, very few people finish them.
      Before you build an airplane, however, you are going to have to build a shop to build it in, a hanger to store it in, and a runway to take it off from. So yeah... it's more than just having to build the airplane... unfortunately. Most airplane builders won't tell you that, but I found that out the hard way. Those wings are 20 feet long each, so you need a building 40ft wide by 20 feet long to store it in... out of the weather. Take out a measureing tape and measure on the ground and you'll see how ungodly huge they are... I built a 20ft trailer so I could take mine to an airport, and that alone took me a couple of years.

Ci sono modi migliori per volare ora con piccoli quadricotteri che puoi tenere tra le mani quindi... ragazzi a cui piace ancora pilotare questi pazzi ultraleggeri degli anni '80 come ho fatto io... ora sono un anacronismo. Non sono i più intelligenti con la tecnologia o con le macchine fotografiche.
