I don’t see a video detailing what kind of performance you ended up getting out of all the mods. Your work looks awesome though!

I just picked up a heavy hauler. This is a great video. Do you have a follow up showing the completed work and what you think of the changes?

Anyone in your group 6'2" 220lbs? I'm wondering if I'll fit. For instance, the Zenith 701 is a no go for someone my size

You have created a spindle-moulder there. One of the more hazardous machines in any cabinet or joinery workshop. Prudent to take the extra precautions. I like the simple wing construction! 👍🏻

Did you give up on the chinook?

I love this video! I know people talk about buying kits, and building aircraft. But this is interesting, because it shows why you brought the kit that you bought, and what the actual airplane is like. Thank you for this helpful video. By the way, I found your channel on the aviation, content creators page. Keep doing what you’re doing. Fly well! New sub!

What’s happening in IansLife??

Do you do harness for aircraft application of the Sidewinder?

🙌

The Rans S6 is a great little plane.

So perfect, thanks for sharing my friend

Hey Ian, did your Yamaha engine meltdown? I was surprised to see your plane mod didn't have any systems in place to prevent overheating.

Why use 2 fuel pumps? My university's team has gotten our engine into starting condition (not an easy engine to figure out) but just need to figure out how to get it to start.

What would you say the total weight of the engine and prop is with, and without the mount. Great video presentation by the way!

You going this weekend?

So, what were the stats?

I know I’m 3 years behind watching your build videos BUT you should call it FRANKENSTEIN

Hello, do you have a parts listing with quantities for the secondary cooler addition?

Thank you for your time and great videos.

HI IS THE RIBS WOOD OR ALUMINUM? AWESOME BUILD AND INFO THANKS FOR YOUR TIME TO DO THE VIDEOS. I AM FROM SOUTH AFRICA AND MY DREAM IS TO BUILD MY OWN STOL AIRCRAFT BUSH PLANE.

Não gostaria de vê-lo voando, avião feio!!!

I have owned a bead blasting cabinet, from harbor freight, for about 35 years. It has a Tacoma company retrofit kit installed which made it 400% more effective. It's worth it's weight in gold for how it transforms ugly parts into beautiful ones. If I was a little younger, I'd make a water blaster & have the parts come out much more beautiful than just plain bead blasting. The finish is as good, if not better, than brand new, depending on the quality of the parts you acquire.

Looking great, your layout of things.

We need a Video update!

good morning ! i live in brazil i would like to build the super stall could you help me to indicate the person who sells this preojeto ! I'm going to build the plane here in Brazil!" Thank you in advance! You have WhatsApp

You finish nothing. Spoilt brat.

whats the latest on this

What is the reduction drive ratio

Did you get your Chinook ever into the air? Never saw an update video!

I'm about two years behind on this so my observations might not be correct....... that engine looks like it needs to be glass beaded ( walnut shell is really good too ) back to a better looking condition... as for the Chinook,... 10+ on that great little plane.... should be Lots-O-Fun to putt around in.😁👍👍.

BBK

ahhhhhh ! its a snowmobile engine ! now everything is clear !

from where did you get this yamaha engine ? was it in a motorcycle or in an aeroplane ? it is so heavily corroded as if it had been exposed to salt ... ? so why is it that corroded ?

Drum sander/Spindle 3:40

awesome build ! my question: from where is this piece of rusted and corroded yamaha engine 😯😳? from a motorbike ? but: yamaha phazers always had 4 cylinders !

Love your vids. Watching from Kelowna British Columbia Canada The home of the Chinook 🇨🇦👍

New subscribed from Somalia

Subscribed. I'm going to buy a Chinook in the.fall. The yamaha phaser will also be my engine of choice. Thank you for your videos 🇨🇦👍

Super thick S6 coyote! I'm a frenchy S6 owner and I love this plane too! check my youtube channel !

Hmmmm, cutting off some top tube may allow the engine to fit better, buy now there is nowhere for the rear wing spars to attach 😔

Nice video, what airport is that?

❣❣💟💟💘💘

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?

Great videos, Ian! I have a Challenger II CWS I built and I love the way it flies. But I and my wife are in our 70s and my wife has stopped flying with me because of the difficulty of getting in and our of the plane. So far I don't have an issue, but I am getting older every year😀 How is ease of getting in and out of the Chinook?? If you have flown a Challenger, how found you compare the flight experiences? Thanks, Lanny

Ian.........What has happened???

Just wondering what happened with this build? Interest roused again with the Dan Reynolds win against Steve Henry at the recent Texas STOL (Gainsville). Steve had the takeoff every time, but Dan landed shorter for the win!!!

A friend of mine built a Quick Build RV6. It was the 53rd kit and finished in 98. Great flying airplane. I always wanted to build an RV8 but engine prices have risen more than my income! Enjoy yours!

spent the whole sat evening binge watching the transformation of the chinook, i love it, hopefully i can see it fly before dawn :-))

Lmk if you’re selling the budget bushplane - someone needs to keep the dream alive 😢

Is this build still going?
