Chinook Ultra
Канада
Добавлен 22 авг 2021
Worlds first Chinook with Rotax 912UL and Edge Performance EFI kit
After having issues with my carbs, I finally decided to replace the carbs with a Edge Performance EFI kit. No need to balance or replace rubber components.
Out of the box, the engine started up and idled lower than I ever could with the carbs. The ECU needs tuning to get the max 5,500 rpm.
See my previous videos for carb issues.

I ran up the engine to 4000 rpm and did the checks before taking off. All good. On take off the left carb came off the rubber flange. See the image at the end. A support spring that's supposed to hold back the carb is missing in the picture. Not sure if this is why the carb drooped down. Before the flight I had tightened this flange and checked the support spring after replacing the fuel bowl g...

When the water got to the engine, it was running at full takeoff power.. - Short version. Chinook Plus 2 912UL Rotax
Rotax 912 Hiccup - Water in the gas.
Просмотров 648Год назад
During the engine checks, I cycled through the Left, over head wing tanks and the Right tank. The gas from the wing tanks probably did not make it to the engine. Did the engine run up. Took off on the Left tank. At around 200 feet the wing tank gas got into the engine... woke me up! Chinook Plus 2 912UL Rotax

Flew to Carleton Place airstrip about 30 min each way flying slow. A tornado went through the airport earlier this year, you can see the damaged, crumpled hangers on the strip. Flew by Carp airport as well on the way to Carleton Place. For more info about the airport, check out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carleton_Place_Airport Chinook Plus 2

An odd camera angle a view of the tail wheel in action. Chinook Plus Two with 912 Rotax Engine. Had to go around once, came in too fast over the ridge to safely land. The strip is 20 feet wide, the wing span is 32 feet.
What a view!

Chinook Plus 2 first solo at Carp.

First solo flight on a tail-dragger. I removed the down-wind legs.. the take offs and landings are the focus. Use to fly nose-wheel aircraft before. Now the idea is to fly in the bush/off airport. Chinook Plus Two with 912 Rotax Engine.
Chinook Bearbrook Takeoff

Flying from Bearbrook to Carp. Just a takeoff. Chinook Plus 2, Rotax 912 UL.
Did your fuel burn change with the fuel injection ? If so did it get better? If so how much better? Where are you located?
Still have to tune the ECU. Will do once it gets warm... around March. The expectation is to get 4 gallons per hour in cruise and an increase in max HP to 90.
@@chinookultra Keep us in the loop once tuned, i live in Dawson Creek, BC, i still have my Chinook and a couple friends nearby have Chinooks. What Province do you live in ?
@@chinookultra what engine monitor are you using ? The Flybox Vigilus temp rating is not good enough for Canada, in my SuperStol my Vigilus got white blotches on screen last winter after a -43 cold snap...and i had to send it to Italy and pay for the repair!
@@kenkitzmann9307 I built a monitor.. will be putting up a video on it soon. Displays all ECU parameters.
Looks like maybe you could incorporate a degree or two of offset to take care of the p factor that’s what zenith does and it works good no need for right trim.
Any word on developments from the relocated company? I keep checking the website for news...
Try emailing them at info@amplanes.com . They were supposed to be back up a few months ago.
@chinookultra I see they have put up a Facebook page saying they are still planning on being in business but it is not looking like a very good start to me. I've tried to contact them numerous times but get no reply.
Very nice. These are cool airplanes.
I am new To me Chinook owner with a 912 UL , Just wondering how it performs with a passenger? I haven’t taken anyone up yet ! Would love to hear your feedback?
I've seen this happen before on a 912 in a Tecnam - luckily that one fell off at the end of their taxi to park, as they were about to shut down.
Well done.
Nice to have good landing options 😉🇨🇦
А почему пульсирующие звуки У меня также было когда перед смертью 2 тактный мотор работал Подсос воздуха был и он перегрелся и свечи зажигания расплавились
Well that’s terrifying
Well done!
Shame about the huge instrument panel blocking forward view !
Why didn't you show the whole plane as well as just the instrument panel???
IS IT PART 103 OR LSA...THANX
BOY ! That sure does look like FUN !
Where is this?
Is there a way to change the mount so that doesn't happen?
of course you can, its called safety wire. More fun to take off and climb to a safe altitude, turn back toward the field then pull the choke out until the engine runs rough and when you're sure of making the field, cut the ignition.
Thank you so much for this great video ... I would so love to build & fly a Chinook ...
I would like to meet and chat about your Chinook ! I live an hr east of Ottawa and available anytime, thanks
The bus can swim.
If it was gonna happen it sure is good it happened then. And good landing.
Nice job on the engine-out landing! Had a similar thing happen w/ my first instructor's plane, a FlightStar IISC w/ the HKS engine (which has the same model carbs as the Rotax 912); the mount for the right carb broke when we went to take off again on a T/G; noticed the right EGT go much higher than left; fortunately, we were still on the ground-roll. Replaced the mount, and continued flying...
Nice for keeping a cool head during a stressfull event. Good job.
Good job. Thanks for sharing.
Smooth emergency landing. Glad you and the bird are ok.
Nicely done! 👌
Don't lawnmowers have drains in their fuel tanks to draw a fuel sample?
Shit, that’ll wake you up.
Bravo mon capitaine
How much to buy ?
I remember good souvenirs because I made my first solo flight in 1985 in a Chinook like you 😉👍
Boy that's scary sounding .. time for new underwear!!
I love these planes i wish i could afford to go flying 😢
Какой ты прикольный..Чинук..И обзорность и дистанции.." Лапы" только по моему задраны чуть ли не к " ушам"( педали РН)
I want to build one of these been looking at a challenger 2 or a Chinook probably go with the DR version with the 582 engine. I don't mind a 2 stroke I'm used to working on them where the 912 is lot more expensive.
good choice. the lighter engine gives you a slower stall speed as well.
Noticed there is a trim tab on the rudder seems like lot of these pushers have that.
Scary to watch. Shaking polycarbonate enhances the feeling of insecurity.
looks that way... but its solidly built for off field landings
Good buen vuelo..
why chicken has given up the flying such a great thing.
Nice 👍🙂
Thanks 😊
What is the classification of this plane? What is required to own and fly one (laws regulating)?
In the USA, it's an Light Sport Aircraft (LSA). In Canada its registered as an Advanced Ultralight.
Would be nice to see the plane!
check out my other video : Takeoffs and landings from a farmers field. (ruclips.net/video/RegPv8IyzN4/видео.html) I'll make a close up video soon.
...c'est toute une bolide!...ben le fun!...
Guau
I hope you use a lot of Loctite on all those bolts! It seems those are some serious, bolt-loosening bumps you encounter on takeoffs and landings!
Its actually a brake line brass T fitting that bounces around. I've just fixed it, so shouldn't hear any rattling.
It takes off moving forward like a plane.
It's an airplane... engine at the back.
Hello I live in Gatineau near Constance bay I am buying a Chinook plus 2 with a 912, I will need more information, is it possible to contact each other, I can give you my email in private. Thank you Jocelyn

Almost, landing gear could be longer.
