I think this will PREVENT burn-outs - Voltage Regulator/Rectifier Improved Mounting - UL350iS
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 года назад
I really didn't like the way the voltage regulator/rectifier (RR) was mounted on the UL350iS engine. The metal plate is attaches to has too much flex, creating a small air gap between it and the back of the VoltRR. Here's what I did to improve it. I may add an actual heatsink to the stiffener plate in the future. And of course (since the engine is not yet running), I have not been able to do an...

The voltage regulator/rectifier is cooled with air through a tube from the back of the engine baffle. Here I add the flange to the baffle.

What Happened????????
👍👍👍👍
Now, four years later, are you happy with this engine? Any details? Pros and cons? Many thanks!
Pretty slick idea with the funnel. Thanks for doing this install series
You don't build a kit airplane for the speed of it, you build for the love of it.
Course it has to be off center to counteract the rotational torque from the single engine.
Okay, so when you say 504 hours is that “man hours” So if you and your dad spent 1 hour in the shop does it count in the 504 as 1 or 2?
The 500+ hours you totaled up in this video, were those individual man hours or you and your dad working together?? There is a huge difference if you are.
Excellent vid!. Not sure how you can weld on a cap after cutting off the bungee tabs without them interfering with the donuts (since it looks like the donuts slide over the welded over hole?
Enjoying your oil weeps at the hall-effect sensors?
you should have put the bolt in from the motor mount bracket check to see at kitplane entutusisis
Some sort of torque converter?
I've seen other plane videos where they are fixing old planes, including the brakes. Usually take the tire off, remive brake shoes, not the disc.
Guy ruins powder coating in 3,2,1. 😂
Since you are an R/C flyer, how does it compare to building one of those?
Pretty sure that any time you mate aluminum to another metal, that you should primer paint that area to prevent bimetalic corrosion.
You guys finishing that plane?
If you guys bailed on the build I don't blame you. Zenith kits/drawings and instructions suck. I was building a 650 and am abandoning it due to the above.... And I was an aircraft tech for 25 years.
Great videos. I see lots of good build videos on the Cruzer and the Super Duty but I can’t find any on the standard 750 STOL. Anyone have any links to share?
Sorry, I just can't take the herky-jerk camera video as you bob and weave.
FYI, your head mounted camera and constant head movements make it hard to focus and see what you are talking about.
Need an updaaaate! Thanks for all you are doing on here!
No updates in a year - is your build on-going, completed, or what? Curious minds want to know! Even if there's been no progress on the build, or it's been abandoned and sold, etc (or hopefully, flying!), it would be helpful to others to give a dose of reality to homebuilders. FWIW, I built a Zenith 750 STOL in one year and 1000 hrs, but I did have my adult son available to help for 3 months. That was 10+ years and 760 flight hrs ago and I'm still grinning!
Jeff, how goes the build? I was one of the first 10 people that was onboard when you and your Dad first started to build this kit? Mike.
Where I can get it , can you send the website of manufacturers
The issue is if he got it too hot. He could have ground it in many small steps dipping it into water to cool it in between grinding sessions. The same needs to be considered for the aluminum and the steal parts as they both are usually heat treated.
As with many things, time, effort and preparation outweigh the actual doing of the task. Much of the engineering of the design, configuration and selection of appropriate parts is already done. A builder’s job is to execute on the assembly which(as you are experiencing) requires many skills to be learned. If possible, enjoy the process along the way. And think about all the time you will spend flying too! Hope that helps and keep on keeping on. 👍🏻
Great, thanks for cutting out the ONE FUCKING PART I needed to see where you fabricate the ends onto the leads!!!
We need updates on the Zenith!
Great video. Very helpful. Greasing taped bearing and axle nut techniques will also be helpful
I was working on my Zenith Cruzer build today and said how do I get this Matco wheel apart! So I searched on youtube and found your video. It was perfect! Thanks! Todd and Tom building a Cruzer from South Dakota. I hope your getting to enjoy flying your Cruzer now.
So what's the latest info on your build time. When will it be complete?
He has a second channel RCwithAdam, is putting out a video every couple weeks, building drones. Seems to have moved on. Too bad though.
Kleco city
I'm a engine builder for high performance race engines and have helped a company on a manual in the past
Thats where they save money the time it takes to write a good manual is very costly imagine if someone building one would take the time and write a correct detailed description manual it would take three times the time to build but you could name your price .if I had the money to buy one I would and do just so then sell there manual back to them for alot more then the kit cost no one thi KS of it unless you have written or helped write instructional manuscript for mechanical purposes
I thought the side stiffeners were supposed to lap over the top and bottom longerons.
I hope whether online or offline you continue with the build and complete the project. More so than ANY other Cruzer channel, your "real time" head cam videos do a great job of showing the REAL story behind airplane building. Mistakes ... yep. Parts that may not fit quite right ... yep. Unclear instructions .... uncertainty in how to do something you have never done before. Yep and Yep. But persevering and moving ahead as you do. Build On!
⬆️ This guy gets it. Thanks, General. 👍
You sound very unsure of your self. Maybe help next time.
Yeah, that’ll last.😂
I’ve officially decide I’m gonna go with the quick build kit and do some builder assist for my first crack at it. It would take me 4+ years otherwise.
This kinda reminds me of a dad that stayed up to late drinking on christmas eve and trying to put together his kids barbie jeep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im thinking you should adjust your engine monitoring to your engine and its factory monitors instead of trying to modify factory for something the engine doesn't really support...Just saying!!!
I don't think people understand how much work it actually is to build these. Not only that the area you need correct tools it's a big under taking.
Hi Jeff, I'm from ARGENTINA, I just want to thank you for sharing your experience of building a plane. Thank you!!!!!!.
Quick Question... How do you know which plug on your regulator is the ground and positive? Did the regulator come with a diagram or does it have the + and - on it?
So what's the status of the build Jeff? Wow it's been along time now. keep up the work and soon it will be finished.
Nice work
Hey what happened to You/build progress. You disappeared like money in the church house.
lol. I second that, what happened?
Zenith now has you countersink that first hole in the lower engine mount attach fittings.
Did You finish the airplane?? RUclips video burnout??
