I'm building a Legal Eagle XL, bought a half VW with the tiny tach - the battery was needing to be replaced, I was about to go ahead & order a new one, but thanks to you - I'll try this first... Who knows, I may have to make a video as well on it... Very helpful... Good luck with the 1000 ( I'm number 693) - I just hit 1k myself on my channel - I don't understand, but I keep sharing anyways...

Great update. We have had some beautiful flying weather here and its super dry. time change comes this weekend which sucks. Hopefully my check ride is this Saturday and I can start flying passengers. Western North Carolina and the mountains in Virginia have gotten snow already here. lets see that baby taxi at least before your locked int the hangar with snow drifts lol

I think you’ve done a beautiful job rebuilding this plane, and I really looking forward to when it gets in the air.

Hi Peter. I enjoy your videos so keep them coming. I noticed that some of your switches seem quite tiny. Given the cold clear days common to those Manitoba winters have you given any consideration to how you will manage their functionality while wearing a warm pair of mitts or gloves?

why would canada be celebrating thanksgiving?

Looks great! We have JB weld in the hangar if you need.

I was confused by the Happy Thanksgiving comments lol. Then you explained it. However, we did celebrate Columbus Day on 10/13

I keep thinking you’re almost done, and you remind me of all the little important details. I really appreciate you showing us all the little complexities to make an aircraft of this caliber possible.

Or just fly wit 4 stokes.🤓

Have you done your Rec written exam yet? I'm staring down the barrel of mine and don't know what areas to focus on that would be on PPL but not Rec. Flight Computer? Nav?? Wx?

I always look forward to these videos, because I learn so many details that need to be done. I’m hoping to do something similar, and I truly appreciate the information 👍

Have you ever changed from floats to wheels? How did you support the gear to take the floats and swap in the wheels?

did you do a linear actuator for your flaps/trim?

personally, I would have countersunk those bolts or just riveted that bracket.. Those eye bolts seem really big and long. I also would have made some kind of tensioner pulley system that always keeps the cable taut. U need wireless mics. U got way too much static when using just your gopro mic or whatever camera you are using.

Tiny tach crap. They couldn’t have put a door to replace battery. Oh yes planned obsolescence I get it. I will never buy another one of these stupid tachs

I feel like that challenger is getting close to taking flight, and I’m really looking forward to the videos 👍

Looking good, it's all baby steps, but it's all progress!

Get rid of that all thread that's going to your rudder pedals.

I'm in the same boat... I own my Challenger, but trying to finish up my RPP, Eastern Ontario. My project is trying to build a hangar. The thought of "next year" actually makes it hard for me to stay positive. Impatient.

it has been 6 months the last time i have watched your build--when are you going to fly?

I thought that these aircraft have been around for quite awhile, both on amphibian floats and wheels. Why does it appear that you need to invent methods that I thought already existed? Thanks. And have you obtained your PPL?

How much longer till the maiden flight? How's your flight training going? ready to see this badboy fly. I've had nothing but issues with that same rivet gun. Do you have an estimated weight yet of what you think it will weigh once done?

I have so many questions , is there someway to pick your brain a bit . Great what your doing with this challenger

Hello 👍🏼

Hi from plantation Florida

Too much unnecessary "drivia" dilutes interest. I.E., nobody cares what day of the week it is, just get to the meat!

Thankyou Very informative - just got myself a hangar queen without a motor and many fixes upgrades needed. In sunny South Africa so will do most of the stuff myself, but good information.

I'm building an emeraude with an O-320. I'm currently doing the wiring and I've been trying to decide where to mount everything. I've resisted poking holes in my firewall until I was absolutely positive that's where I wanted things.

Lol! I'm trying to get a flat tire. ...so far all I have is a spare tire. Time for my crunches ( sigh)

Hello from Mt. Horeb WI(troll capital of the world?). I’ve been watching ALL of your videos for a long time and finally decided to subscribe(I’m a bit of an introvert). I’m in the process of building a single seat Challenger ultralight from a kit. I’m nearing the two year mark since I began this adventure and have been extremely fortunate to be working under the guidance of Greg Klemp(Mr. Challenger). He has a wealth of knowledge(and patience with me !) which is priceless since this is my first foray into building. Your successes(and a few false starts) have been invaluable. Perhaps you’ll attend AirVenture this month and our paths will cross. Thank You

Again, you need lavalier mics. You got to much static in your sound

I believe the very old church door key and most keys of the day had a large hole in the handle end that fit the newly invented bottle cap perfectly.

Have a "Canada Dry" church key in the kitchen drawer. Not parting with it. It would be rather a perfect choice for your beast. You just might want to get one. Game 7 was ... what does the tropics know about hockey?

Greetings from Stirling ON. 8 Wing Trenton AirShow today.

Thru to the end.

You've done a lot of work, and it looks good. Can't wait to see it fly! 😊

So what kind of damage does the 'death rattle' cause? All my motorcycle 2 strokes had that stumble at idle but it was never a problem. I idle my 582 over 2k just because I don’t like the torque reversals on the redrive.

Hello from Toronto

I feel like it’s getting close, and I’m getting excited about seeing that beautifully rebuilt challenger take back to the air 👍

You mentioned several times that your challenger is experimental bit it has an ultralight registration. I have to guess that it is a basic challenger and not an advanced challenger as you could not make all those modification without the written agreement of the manufacturer which is not really in business anymore. Very interesting to follow what you do

Can’t wait to see this plane fly. Also curious what it’s going to weigh.

Just a thought for your retracts: blue light and green are closer in perception than green and red or white. No other retractable aircraft use blue for up, they usually use red or orange. If I can make a suggestion, I would have one light only for up. That makes it very distinct from three green for down and locked, and you are not just relying on colours. Does that make sense?

Oh to have so much room on a panel! 😢

Very cool but won't that be in the way of the passengers feet? Also. you have a ton of background static so again, get you some LAVALIER MICS!!!

Again, a well thought out project! Sorry I was unable to view the link you sent me last week, but great video.

Yes, Canada still has at least one more day to keep their well oiled sticks on the Ice. Good luck knocking off the Panthers. Just because Canada ought to be in the finals. Since you are building the three greens, you might want to think about a flashing red to indicate in transit in addition to solid red for up and locked. Just a crazy HAM brained thought.

Hello from Cornwall ON. Just signed the papers on my first, and very own Challenger. Have been loving your videos.

I was wondering how many amps the gear might pull if you took it onto the grass, and cycled the gear? I’m just curious if it has enough power to lift the plane? It’s probably a dumb idea, but I like to stress test things.

I think you deserve 1000 views, and I’m happy to help with my measly one to get you started.

You sure are adding alot more weight. On that note, for the hundredths thousandths time. GET YOU LAVALIERS MICS!!!!! lol, seriously There not expensive...and of course, it's cool what you do. How's the weight loss coming by the way? I am on ozempic. working good so far
