Big Tires, Zero Weight Gain
Adding big tires to a plane usually comes at the cost of added weight. To compensating for the added weight I replaced the existing aluminum floor with carbon fibre and was able to lose the exact weight that was added by the bigger tires.
Here's why I wanted big tires,
- You can land almost anywhere
- In the event of an engine out you have more options and less likely to flip over on landing
- Smoother ride on rough strips
- Absorbs hard landings better
- Added ground clearance means less likely to ground strike prop
- Lifts the nose to increase angle of attack on takeoff helping to take off in less distance
why you wouldn't want big tires,
- Adds drag which means more fuel burn or slower cr...

More progress made to the abandoned plane project with a snowmobile engine conversion. Plus getting a start on making some new carbon fibre parts to add to the build. This Video is part of a series where I am rebuilding an abandoned bush plane and upgrading it along the way. This 107HP engine is from a 1997 SKIDOO Formula Z snowmobile and will replace the 49HP Rotax "High HP" option engine that...
Is This Snowmobile Engine TOO BIG For This MINI KITFOX?

This Video is part of a series where I am rebuilding an abandoned bush plane and upgrading it along the way. This 107HP engine is from a 1997 SKIDOO Formula Z snowmobile and will replace the 49HP Rotax "High HP" option engine that originally came in this plane. The engine did not directly bolt up to the original mount and some fabrication was required to make it possible. This plane is a 2000 S...
Snowmobile Engine Swapped Airplane
Просмотров 7 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Today I continue working on the airplane project I started a couple of weeks ago. The plane gets some massive upgrades in this video like the 100hp engine that will replace the existing 49hp engine that came in the plane. Also, some massive gear leg extensions to improve all-round takeoff and landing performance. Here are some reasons why I went with this 583 Rotax snowmobile engine instead of ...

Today we pick up my next airplane project. Follow along as we rebuild this to be bigger and better than it ever was!
Looks killer man, I'm going to try and include some carbon in my own build!
How are you doing with your airplane?
The title is silly. Many ultralight airplanes have snowmobile engines on them
Would love an update brother! 🙌🏽
Hey Clayton! Just checking in to see how you're doing hope all is good with you.
When is the next video?
How’s it going with the plane? Are you gonna have another video?
Awesome! Can’t wait to see this thing together!
Hey buddy. Hope you're good 👍🏾
I'm loving these videos. Are those planes Sky Raider 1, or Sky Raider 2?
Awesome project. Are those planes Sky Raider 1's, or Sky Raider 2's?
Great progress looks good so far🎉
Can you put the stick's STL files on Thingiverse? I'd like to build it.
Great job man, lots of fun to watch!
Thanks a ton!
Love the progress! The vinyl is a neat trick I'll have to remember as well!
Yeah it worked great!
Nice and handy to have a luggage compartment
Are they the 22" inch tall or 26" tall tires?
They’re 22s
Hey Clayton, I still have a pull star on my bird! Ultralight STOL👍
Nose job on the frame and landing gear looks good
Thank you!
Nice
Thanks!
Where can I get rims like that ? Who makes them ? Thanks.
I’m not sure who makes them, they came on the plane when I got it and have no branding
Bigger tires with minimal weight gain?! Perfect!!!
Haha heck yeah
@@claytonwodiany 😉
@@Down_To_The_Bone_Garage Hey Down to The Bone! Greate to see these Sky Raiders being Saved. Watch your stuff all the time!
@@WatchmanForthePeople Thank you! Me too! Can't wait to see this awesome bird in the air!!!
@@Down_To_The_Bone_Garage thanks!! Me too…. !!
Very nice
Thanks!!
Another nice job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Looking good pilot! Matco have some nice robust dual fork tailwheels that should also help with W&B if you need extra weight for the tail. As handy as you are, you'll probably build your own!👍
Haha I’ve been thinking about building a new tail wheel like the Matco actually! I’ll have to see how much weight is needed when it’s finished
Your battery placement you already have is going to help alot as I'm sure you already know. You many not need a whole lot extra. It will be interesting to see where you end up at.
@@claytonwodiany Know where I can get the taller vertical stabilizer and rudder like yours? I have the round assembly. I got my dual fork t-8 tail wheel today. Yea! Your cabin width is 24" model 1, right?
I’m hoping the battery should help out. I’m not sure where you can get one, maybe you can try badlands aircraft who still make the frame. And yeah it’s a skyraider 1 24”
@@claytonwodiany HeY Clayton! I got some feed back from Allen L that Josh at Wild West Aircraft is considering helping out fabricate items for Sky Raider. Might only be for the super though, not for sure. In case you have items you need. You're a very capable fabricator so likely you won't have a need, but just in case. How's your build going by the way? Just checking in to say hello and put this info out in case anyone may have a need. Weather getting nice here finally so with good spring weather hopefully all will be out enjoying it. Later, Brian
Brilliant brake design! Nice project!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice great job!!
Thank you very much!
Greate video!! Thanks!
How many carbon layer did you put for your dash? And how many epoxy? Thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
Great video, love to see the cheaper side of aviation.
Thanks!
Awesome, nice work Clayton! 👍 All we need now is a printer that will print complete carbon airplane parts.😁
Thank you! Wouldn’t that be nice haha probably someday
@@claytonwodianyNice Work! You make it look easy Clayton!. I never worked with carbon fiber but I should. I am an old dog but willing to do new tricks!🤣
Haha thanks! It is actually very simple once you’ve done it even once, I was really intimidated at first but once you do one piece you’ll see it’s not bad
Super cool project!
Thanks!
You have a PTT button on the grip, but where's the radio?
It’s a handheld beside the seat for now. Will likely add a panel mounted radio soon
Very, very cool. I love the carbon fiber and am now considering something similar in my Sonex (thanks for the demonstration). I do quite a bit of 3D printing and, as another person mentioned, I'd be nervous about heat deforming the printed parts on a hot day. Maybe consider using the 3D printer to make a mold and lay up the G5 mount part in carbon instead. And the front bezel, too.
That’s a great idea, I’ll definitely make a video of the pla if it has any issues and the fix for it would probably be that exactly, making some carbon parts
Xactly!!! Those companies are ripping people off and they know damn well that a hand grip or a flush mount can be sold for pennies on the dollar just by 3d printing them. great job and what's even cooler is that they can be made in all sorts of colors. Show us how you did the fire wall please.
Thanks! Exactly, I’ll see how the parts hold up but they should be okay. The firewall should be in one of the next videos
Awesome, looking forward to seeing how you built that firewall
Newbie here! Your New avionics set seems to reduce the instruments on your dash or are they threww oacked with multi functions? Can you explain further if you get my question.
I think I get you. They are multi function. I’ve got it simplified to 3 instruments, one is a backup airspeed indicator in case I lose electric. Then there is an engine and flight instrument, the engine monitor replaces 8 instruments and packs them into one small display, the flight display is the same idea. This allows for a simpler, easy to read panel with even more data. Also because of eliminating all the extra instruments it allows for a smaller lighter panel
@@claytonwodiany alright. I understand it better now, I've also researched more about this g5 and other glass panels... Thanks again, your journey is encouraging especially to newbies like me
Bellissimo lavoro ti farebbe piacere condividere i progetti per la stampa 3d , grazie mille
Thanks!
Great job
Thank you
I have been thinking for a while that 3D printing for panel bezels, and control sticks makes a lot of sense. Nice to see someone doing it.
Definitely an experiment, but should hold up okay
You printing in ABS?? I printed a IPad mount for my Remos in PLA and on hot day it deformed. Switched it to ABS and never had an issue the rest of last summer
Good suggestion, I’m printing in pla and going to do my best keeping the plane indoors but if I would do it again that’s a great way to do it
@claytonwodiany yeah black carbon fiber is gonna get hot. My plane is all composite painted white but dash cover is black abs
High-temp PETG (PolyHex) and PC have been my go-to for parts in the airplane where longevity and heat tolerance is a concern.
@@mkosmo Yeah I have both and I own 2 Bambu X1 Carbons with heated chamber. It can do the Carbon Fiber filament as well with a steel hotend.
@@EricHaskins71 I love some PA6-CF for this kind of thing, too, but I've more or less moved away from it for most things with the discovery of PolyHex, especially for parts with small features. At the end of the day it comes down to either material properties or finish since all of the above (except PLA) will handle the temperatures and vibration just fine.
Clean af. This type of aviation is so appealing, will this aircraft make part 103?
Thanks! This one specifically probably not, but will meet Canadian regulations which are heavier. Some of these skyraiders are able to fly under part 103
is there files for the 3D print stick , I would en mind it on my exp PA-18 as I have electric trim to. nice work looking good.
Thanks, I designed it but it needs some fine tuning before it goes anywhere and want to test it before as well
@@claytonwodianyI understand, let me know if and when you are releasing it , and what would be the fees.
Nice work. Would you mind sharing the model?
Thanks, it’s a 2000 skyraider 1
@@claytonwodiany I meant the solid model for the stick grip. LOL
Nice work, but can I make a few suggestions? For the fuel lines, I would use, at a minimum, good quality rubber automotive fuel hose. It's inexpensive and a lot more durable than that clear vinyl hose. And as much as I love designing clips, etc. and making them on my 3D printer, I would secure the fuel hoses with the time-tested double Adel clamp technique. One clamp goes around the frame tube and the other around the hose. A screw connects the two. Also, i hope you are using Tefzel insulated wire. It's not expensive at Aircraft Spruce. You can use nice thin 20 gauge for things like PTT switches.
Great suggestion, I’m actually redoing the whole fuel system with aluminum fuel lines for a fuel injected 4 stroke I’m going to be installing. For the most part the wiring is all from aircraft spruce and most is 18ga because I bought in bulk with the exception for some higher current circuits. And the adel clamp is a great idea, just looked into it and looks like a great reliable way to secure lines. Will definitely be doing that! Thanks!
@claytonwodiany Let me guess, phazer swap? Super stoked on the build. Keep the videos coming. Awesome work!!
Thanks! Must say that’s a good guess, but can’t say for sure

Awesome work. Love your usage of 3D printing. 👌🏼 Not sure what kind of phone you have, but maybe consider the quad lock integrated charging system. I just added it to my ADV motorcycle and it’s awesome. It is a hardwired 12 to 24 V supply. No extra wires needed, so it is super clean.
Thanks! And that’s a good idea I’m going to look into that
Looks good keep it up you’ll be flying soon
Thanks! I hope so
Very nice job young man.
Thank you!
The dash looks awesome!
Thanks!
Wow quite the transformation from when you picked it up, can’t wait to see it in the air
Thanks me too!
Absolutely amazing work! Love the panel and your avionics cover. Keep up the good work.
Thank you I really appreciate it!
