Wig wag/strobe light for my Zenith Cruzer that I built. Super bright, very easy to make.
These are wig wag / strobe style flashers I made using off the shelf components and PCB boards I made using easyeda.com PCB software. I am not interested in selling them but I can share the details on how you can build them yourself. You can message me on FB. The lens and lens base are series 19 clearance lights made by Truck-Lite. The LED are 5w 6v beads that are super powerful. Use two in series for 12v.

Hi did you blocked off the heater coolant flow housing, if so where did you buy the block off plate?😊
Yes I made my own. Just 1/4 aluminum and gasket sealant.
This is the best information on the JD Brush Hog I have found. I will bet you this dude is a farmer and not a casual "Hobby Farmer." :)
30% + 30% equals?.. so what do we put in the other 40%?
Sorry. The ratio is not significant. It is basically 1/3 acetone and 2/3 transmission fluid. This has been asked and answered a few times.
Jumped time...
Whats the hp output. Would this work on a kitfox series 7. I know they had used the viking 130hp on them before. My kit comes in, in Nov 24. I need to start considering engine options. Most likly the rotax 912uls but your design is amazing. You are brilliant.
Good luck your Kitfox, great airplane for sure. I want to add that my engine install was NOT a Viking Engine installation. The only part of my set up that was Viking was the Gearbox. (Viking no longer sells gearboxes by themselves.) The rest I created myself. I used the R18 which stock is about 145 may be a bit more. I added a turbo to it and added very little boost, about 4 psi. So I would guess that I was only developing about 170 may be 180 HP tops. I was very happy with it. Flew it for about 250 hours and sold it.
i have a problem with my r20a3......engine is feeling super sluggish and struggling to rev (whilst in gear) it eventually gets there but it's super sluggish
That is really cool
Thank you. It flew great for me. I flew it about 250 hrs then I sold it.
strobe
Depending on how the flasher is set it can be either (strobe or wig wag style flasher),
@@charosenz thnx. cool stuff
It looks neat and very beautiful to look at
Thank you. It did turn out better than I had even hoped. First time for me to use the vinyl. Charlie
Thanks for the video, I was doing valve adjustments on my R18 engine with 147K miles. I noticed that one of the intake valve was tight and the other was in tolerance and thought I had to re-adjust. Then I rechecked at TDC and both were in tolerance and got me confused. It was my first time inside an R18 engine, your video explained a lot.
thanks
Very Cool!
What have you found works best for going over rivets. You mention heat and "finger compressed." Are you just applying enough heat to soften the sheet and pressing it down? Maybe rolling your finger over it? I've never been able to find a good tutorial on rivets. :)
I heat it gently with a hair dryer and then gently push with the soft pad part of my thumb. It takes very little heat ( like 150F-ish?) and little pressure.
Hi Charlie, great video. Happy to see the installation. And we appreciate the "shout out". Good luck with your future installations and let us know how we can help.
First like
One clarification is the part where I said it was very hard to remove. That is true, but, if you use a heat gun it comes off very easy. But without a heatgun it adheres to bare aluminum quite strongly. Hope that clarifies the statement. I buy from EPDwilldowfilm.com. They ship quickly and pricing is good.
might be a dumb question, but I just don’t have any experience with wraps on airplanes. I have a 150 that i’ve been thinking about wrapping. Are there’s any rules or regulations/ specific types of wraps that are necessary to wrap a plane. Is it the same wrap as your standard car material? Thanks ahead of time!
I do not know about certified planes. If someone says there are restrictions, see if they can quote the actual CFR.....
How balanced were they after sharpening? Mine seem very unbalanced just without sharpening…
So 201 lbs for the long block with the intake
which one gives it more power independent or unison
Here is a reload of the Honda Factory vid that shows the answer in detail. ruclips.net/video/Px0_6-Btx3Y/видео.html (together is high output).
Did u ever find out what was wrong with ur cat
is it lighter than paint?
I would say in most cases, yes. But for most small light planes were probably only talking about 7-8 lbs or so. But I have never weighed a plane before and after painting or vinyl wrapping to give hard numbers. I think we would be hard pressed to find anyone who offered up answers. I.E. how much weight would a gallon of paint be added once all the solvents have evaporated? Many will have opinions but most of them will be guesses. Good question though. I'll try to weigh the next order of vinyl for the wings when it comes in. By the way. Polishing added no weight. Food for thought.
@@charosenz Thank you for the reply
@@marks7502 I read a spec sheet that says that it is 150gms per square meter.
@@charosenz Interesting, thanks
Why aren't you interested in an automatic conversion engine like that used to be installed on this Cruzer Ch750?
If you are referring to my other airplane that had the Honda engine on it, I sold it. This project that I purchased already came with this engine.
How's the R18 holding up on the RV6? I'm thinking in use a Honda L15B7 1.5 turbo on my rv6 project, do you know this engine?
I sold the RV6A with the R18 engine. I flew it about 160 hours and it ran great. I know of the 1.5L but I have never owned one.
Installed these on a riding mower ruclips.net/user/postUgkxetgfkJxfdT_B2vGYP-uNTLaBbim9OKTD . They were sharp out of the box, although I've never liked blade edges that were coated...not quite as sharp as I personally want. Using my belt sander, I removed the coating from the cutting edges and refined the edge enough to shave with them. So far, after three runs, these blades are holding up as expected. Even after hitting a few fallen 1/2 inch or so branches, the edges are still sharp as heck. No edge dings, no warping, etc. As far as installing them, the cutouts were of the proper size and shape to fit my aging Craftsman mower. Very satisfied.
I am not sure if you are asking a question or making a statement?
ever figure it out?? might be out of time?
You dribble to much shit
Nice fab work and the paint detail completed this project.
Is there anyway to contact you (or visit your location) to learn more? Thanks ... by the way, great work! Proving the "naysayers" and "skeptics" of auto power plant applications inaccurate.
my email is charosenz-msn-com
Thank you. I’ll send an initial contact message with my email.
0:22, it has a good beat for a RAP song, I was waiting for the lyrics to start. 😁
I would call that the little Civic that could fly, amazing ❤️
Thanks. 140 flight hours and counting.....
You realise water/meth isn't to cool inlet temperatures, but cool compression and combustion temperatures.
When applied correctly it is also an excellent method to cool air inlet temps too. Some people just don't know this.
@@charosenz You are correct. Ideally the setup should already have cool inlet. In the even of not having a sufficient charge cooler, water/meth will do this. All leads to the same outcome. If you have it setup near the inlet valves it will have little effect on inlet cooling. having it setup further from the valves increases the risk of inconsistent distribution and pooling in the manifold. Depends on individual runner length.
@@charosenz the way you have this set up. you may be only ingesting part of the water meth thinking it is working. Meanwhile you have a portion of it pooling in the bottom of the manifold. You change angles in the aircraft and one or many cylinders are flooded with water meth, then a bang. because the liquid is more dense, it does not follow the same path as air, it can miss an inlet port and pool in the corner of the manifold. if you have it setup up stream, the intake needs to be more like that designed for carburettors, having a direct path for the fuel. nice work though, how did this all turn out?
@@chippyjohn1 No pooling at all. You have to make sure you pick the correct nozzle for proper atomization.
Inspiring
Thank you.
Do you know how much HP you are producing with the Turbo install?
It is really a component on how much boost you choose to use. I am conservative using a few lbs of boost usually only on Take Off. Which would work out to be about 160 - 170HP.
Love it, my daily car has this engine here in Australia lol. Oil Squirters for pistons, ivtec, plus boost, this would make a great plane engine with 1000's of hours to be had. 300,000klms these engines are good for. Top work buddy
Thank you.
Also how much have you found magneto's for, about 1500$ for me :/
The gearbox I use is no longer available from the company Viking Aircraft Engines (unless you buy one of their engines). The Pietenpol is a great airplane. I suggest you contact Vasilli at airtrikes.net. I think he has a good reputation on his SPG gearbox as well as in providing Susuki engines. Good luck. (I do not use magnetos, I just electronic ECU made by SDSEFI - a fantastic set up.
@@charosenz woah man that really helped, thank you!! I will definitely look at their gearboxes when I install the engine! Good prices and proven reliability. Priceless!!
How much was the gearbox? I'm looking to fit a Suzuki G13B to a Pietenpol air camper (in the making) and I'm budgeting :)
Curious of how many pounds of boost it's running at full power climb and cruise? Also do you have fuel burn numbers at cruise and full power? I know you feel that this Honda engine is nearly bullet proof internally but "I Do Cars" channel tore down a 1.4L GM ecotech turbo engine from a chevy Cruze and compared the piston rod thickness to one of a Honda Fit or Civic and the thickness differences were HUGE. Therefore, I would be careful with the amount of boost your engine is pushing since the piston rods really wasn't designed for turbo charging. I'll link that video if your channel allows it?
The Turbo is there to normalizing MAP at higher altitudes. My statement about Honda engines was in general as to how they compare to the industry as a whole. This is a good engine for my application.
How much are you asking for it and how much does it weigh? Ps tremendous job.
Thank you for the kind words. I am asking $52k. Empty weight is a under 1100 lbs. Gross is 1800 lbs.
Congratulations good job
One of the commenters asked that if the secret farmers mixture was 30% acetone and 30% transmission fluid...what did the other 40% consist of...the author of the video corrected his percentages and said that it should be 40% acetone and 60% transmission fluid.
I was wondering the same thing - thanks for updating
Hey so I know bovs tent to make a cool noise when releasing. I’m thinking of building a contraption like this, when you press pressure into the bov does it make the pssshh noise when opening. I kinda want to build something like this
yes. the greater the pressure over the set point, the greater the noise. but there are probably better, easier ways to make that air release sound....
Do you replace the hardware each time
I don't. I have only done this 3 times on this tractor and the bolt still looks very solid.
Manual states that the hardware should be replaced if removed. Not sure why.
How do you generate 627 ft/lbs when tightening those bolts.
I don't. I use a 4ft cheater bar when tightening. I have never had a blade come loose.
your an absolute madman
How do you balance your blades?
I have a small kitchen scale that measures down to the tenths of ounces and that is accurate enough for me.
Thanks.
How much did you save purchasing the engine yourself versus getting the entire package from Viking? Did you have to figure out the EFI maps or did a base set work? Glad to see someone in the RV community actually experimenting a little.. :-)
Thank you for the kind words. I paid $800 for my engine....but...the PSRU from Viking was about $4k, and I made my own engine mount. and cowling. I used The ECU is from SDSEFI and it was $1500. So the saving was several thousand compared with a viking engine, mount and cowl. . For me it was never really about saving money. I really like the SDSEFI. it was easy to program and I really like the mixture knob feature. I have over 250,000 views on my VAF thread in the Alternative Engines forum on VAF.net. Hence there is a TON of interest in my project and auto conversions per se. But sadly most are lurkers who don't comment out of not wanting to get jumped on by so many folks in the Vans community who are very quick to tell you how stupid you are and that you are going to kill yourself on and on. I had to work hard at stopping the hassle asking them allow folks who want to experience experimental powerplants as much as experimental airframes... to be free from parental style comments. Thats my soapbox....
Hey, what is the other 40% of your solution mix?🤔😬
Acetone and transmission fluid. Ratio not important. I use 60 Trans fluid and 40% acetone. (Or MEK).
VTEC confirmed
