Utter newb question, and I am not a pilot, but am very interested in flying, and how it all works. How is slipping (which this doesn't really look like from other videos I have watched) differ from crabbing, or are they variants of the same physics? This looked more like a crab (and a slight one at that) than a slip. Again, based solely on watching other videos of crabbing and slipping.

Nice greaser…

Had a 1946 Aeronca 7ac65 Champ. Slip to landing was standard procedure for me. That airplane was the most fun I ever had with cloths on!!

I soloed in a Champ, back in 1962, I was 15 . . . thanks for bringing back those precious memories . . . Bob

Nicely done. In summer mid day or in the mountains or with two people, level in low ground effect energy can easily be 50% of total kinetic energy (fuel, ground effect, down drainage egress, etc.) available. I guess down drainage is actually potential energy of altitude, but I convert it to kinetic. I taught zero timers in the 7AC at Ag Flight and in the C-140 at Monte Vista Colorado at 7600.' I did not teach Vx or Vy as neither was appropriate. I taught when pulling back on the stick doesn't give us the climb we wish, try pushing instead. Nice airplane. It likes to takeoff fast and land slow. It can be landed slow enough that if we roll only a few feet first, a ground loop will not hurt anything. Lets the instructor safely teach dynamic proactive rudder movement, walk the rudder pedals, to stay ahead of the airplane. We're better when we move.

Nice job! I love slipping an airplane. My favorite maneuver.

BEAUTIFUL! Something I miss about flying small plane is actually FLYING! <--Classic career pilot complaint!

Textbook slide slip, You nailed it

Love it bro

Great job

*COOL* *I Hav a project then* *THANK YOU FOR THE INSTRUCTION VIDEO* *CATER*

Got a question. I bought 24v 350 watt with a 24v 500watt controller, throttle with key. Everything hooked up and without touching throttle, tire moves. Do I have a cross wire? My batteries are trash. Going to order new next week.

I have an e100 I'm building to get to 30mph and right now all ive hit is 20mph. I just have front brakes right now, and you're definitely right about needing discs lol. I have to slow down a whole business day early

Great info. Thanks for sharing. Just picked up a decent 98 xr100. Tip, start out by showing the viewer the whole bike...then go into details. Waiting and waiting and waiting to see the whole view of the bike. Hard to watch!

I have a E200, just a 36V e-bike controller and 18V Milwaukee batteries. Would it be possible to put it all together and have a working scooter?

It’s because the chain is so tight

I love how authentic this is!!! Cause I know that feeling. Scared crapless. But handled it so well. Awesome trainer

Hello sorry where are you because I have a scooter but I can’t find where to fix please you are Portland, Oregon

But if you put 3 24v battery the deck not going to fit exactly

So my father purchased a DS185 brand new in 1980 with my JR50 ,actually his was a 79yr . DS Should have square headlamp from factory with hi/lo & on/off switch for lamp.

Hiya so you can have 48v batteries and a 36v controller? I thought they had to be the same. I want mine the same as yours with really good torque for hills and still a fast speed. What is the best setup you have done for this 😊xx

I 3D printed a Greenworks 36V battery holder on the back of the deck. Now we can swap out the battery anytime and charge them (I charge them via solar panels)

Nice 👍

Future build 2 or 3 24 v motors.. gearing and battery.wut?

Nice you doing electric scooters?

You gained a new sub

Cool bus. Just found your channel and subbed

Oh. 😂 I forgot to mention emblem. I’m no help cuz in exact same position. I had the spare tire mount as well. I took that thing off asap. I ran a homemade VW logo sticker for many years until about a month ago when I buffed the paint. I can’t decide white or chrome. I will probably do chrome though. Just sucks they cost so much now.

looks like a decent project bus. Great starting point. a white vw logo on the front would look good.

I watched your other video first. This bus is cool man. Love it. Great condition. A lot of the busses I see on youtube are sooooo rusted but you have a solid foundation. Here we go with my opinion. I'm about saving money cuz I don't have very much, but if you have a good size bank account spend away buddy. If not do the minimum and enjoy it and make upgrades along the way. That will make the fun last a lot longer and you will get to enjoy using it along the way. I noticed you skipped over that massive hole behind the passenger seat. I'm not sure about that step if it's stock, I couldn't see the trailer hitch, but also not stock. That huge tank is not stock and either is that seat. I saw the engine is not seized so I would just do top end repairs and run it until it fully dies and then you can mess with the bottom end. Oh keep the patina if possible. you won't find original paint busses very often so run it if possible. let me know what you thought of the ebay paint, how close was it? Wolfsburg west sells some colors, but I also bought some from another guy who custom mixes paint. It's a little over priced, but worth it. It was like $50 a can plus fees.

well, welcome to vdub life. cool ride you got there and some awesome work you have already done. sounds like you wrench so all the mechanical work will be in good hands. Vdubs have their personality so you will have fun learning all about this bus. You probably have previous vw experience but not sure. As far as that engine, it's all up to how much work, time and money you want to put into it. That rust inside the engine does not look good. There should be none in there, so moisture got in there somehow which is bad, but these engines are strong and it will probably run. something might fail on the internals, but the only way to find out is to open it up. Once you do that you might as well put new parts. Before you go throwing thousands of dollars at it though I would probably just do the bare minimum and see if the case is worth putting money into. Once you have to replace that we are talking a few thousand dollars in upgrades. I know because I am in the predicament right now and just trying to get a few more miles out of my current engine until I have to start from scratch or at least a cheap rebuild until I save lots for my ultimate engine. Good luck buddy.

Great camper

Wow is a solid bus. I wish Casper the Rusty Bus sliding door track was good and slide like that one. Awesome find.!!!!

Patina

Yay! We need more "long form" ACVW content on youtube. White VW symbol would POP on the front. If it were my bus (which its not) I'd keep the front tire carrier... Also please repaint.

Helmet and two hands on the handle really helps

what motor did you use

I’ve since replaced the cam chain as the ticking noise you’re hearing was it being stretched to the maximum amount of tensioner travel. This bike had the crank oil mod done so when I pulled the cam to inspect the lines and rockers I found them to be in perfect shape (which was a huge relief!). I then tightened the cam chain and adjusted the valves and now the bike is much quieter. But I’m still going to replace the stretched cam chain with a new one.

👍

Why avoid a 36V motor

Best video, very detail explanation

What kind of tool did u get to remove the cam shaft ?

When using hoverboard batteries can you use the factory E300 charger? I'm pretty handy but don't know much about electrical

What it should have came with from the Factory

Hi! I love those little campers

110 "Um's" in case you were wondering .

Hi Matthew! My name is Jeremy! Just wondering if you know the type exhaust mounting for your Eton Beamer here! I have a 2002! Is it for Jog - Zuma(02-11) minarelli horizontal engines or like CPI - Vento - Keeway minarelli horizontal engines? I want to put a performance exhaust on mine!

Link for the motor?

Thanks for sharing and making this video! I hope you do a update on this soon.I’m setting up one now so I’m looking forward to see your review of your set up.I’m hoping to do the mods you have done.so thanks for sharing

Hi Matthew, do you have any more of these campers for sale?
