Learn Control Line Stunt Part 1 Ends in Crash
How on earth do you manage to break a lay shalf ?
Make sure your doing the loop with wind on your back to maintain line tension.
The pivot in the stator plate was loose on my 1953 D1 125, so I carried a pair of pliers, some copper wire and a set of feeler gauges. The pivot would be tied down to one of screws by the copper wire and this would hold for about 50 miles. I find out that riding through puddles would cool the engine a bit and I could sometimes get 60 miles between resetting the spark gap on a rainy day. the obvious solution was to buy a new stator plate from the incredible Guivers in Sutton. But the paper round money just wouldn't reach for such exotic spares.
I understood you needed to upgrade bearings
if the motor is made after 1967 it can be converted www.saving-old-seagulls.co.uk/faq2.html#conv
What is the oil fillter wrench cap size? Is it 74mm 14 plutes? Doing an oil change for a 2009 honda frv 2.2 ctdi.. thanks
the oil filter size is 76/14 for UK models www.lasertools.co.uk/product/3117/Oil-Filter-Wrench-3-8-inch-drive-76mm-x-14-Flutes
Hold the "tickler" down steadily until fuel dribbles out of the carb intake...then release the tickler. Now you have a nice rich mixture for initial starting...
ATF for Fork, would you recommend it? Thank You
yes ATF is fine that is what the workshop manual states
I should let you know that I accidentally reported this video to RUclips. It is right next to an offensive video in my history feed. If you have any trouble as a result, please send them this comment.
very helpful video , i was able to follow you through step by step .
Most important Tool, the Hammer.
where did you buy the layshaft bushes that fit without having to ream them?
Got them from here rexcauntracing.com/
Я из Беларуси и купил xbr500, 1985 года !
the length of the cables.control ...?
Nice one! My D3 Swingarm was a right old bugger to get right!. 🤣 Oh the joys of owning a grumpy old classic!. 🤣 Nuff said. 🙂
I did a bit of tuning on my 125 deluxe, a lot of polishing and bearing changes but I stuffed the crankcase with sheet aluminium which you didn't. I rode the fastest 125 Bantam D1 around. I also used Bardahl two stroke mix at 40:1. Not available now?
Lucky you, I'm jealous. Love the XBR
Does the new filter come with those new gaskets?
Yes the filter did come with new gaskets
Thanks a lot Brad. Very helpful.
Whats the ESC you are using in this model?
Hi, this is a super model. I like it. I am from India. I am working on similar config for e-CL model for school kids in our Indian environment. Whats the wings span & total flying weight? I am also exploring viable solution to keep the esc, lipo/alternate battery pack away from the plane. This is becos of safety point of view as well to regulate the throttle and have the feature of power on/off.
Thanks a lot Brad. I'm looking to get my first Bantam in the spring.
Thanks a lot Brad. Very helpful.
The first motorcycle I had when I was 16 in the 60s was a 125cc BSA Bantam. I paid £5 for it and he also gave me a helmet and gauntlets. I loved that bike and we had many adventures together. My Bantam gave me the freedom to go where I wanted to, which was great. I paid about £2. 10 shillings for insurance and about £1 to tax it. petrol was £1 for four gallons including 2-stroke oil. Best days of my life.
heating the metal is not advisable, it will make the steel brittle
Mate you have no idea what you are doing sorry.
I did my first loop (and some inverted) with a KK Firebird /OS 15 glow engine. I think the coupled flaps and elevator definitely helped to pull the loop through. I'm now going back to C/L flying and after a couple of flights on a trainer (40 years later !), will try a Mercury Cobra stunt trainer, or, something similar....My advice - join a club and get lots of friendly help and fun.
Brad, I'm from Québec , used to much more complicated japanese bikes , but nowadays would prefer BSA-like simpler machines ! I would just LOVE to work on old english bikes and make them last ...but this won't happen around here . Loved this video , what a simple, easy to work on bike !
Hi, Great video just got a 175 d7 where did you end up getting the parts ?
Hi I mainly get parts from rex caunt racing
Is that a standard road going bike please?
Hi, Yes standard D14 bantam still running 6v lights
Enjoying these. Thanks for showing. Two strokes give me sinus so I usually avoid pedestrian ones. High performance ones I can't resist. Had many of various types over the years.
I did have a modified Yamaha RZ250 in the 90s worthless then no body wanted them. I wished I kept it.
Never seen inside a Bantam. With Jap two stroke singles as long as it hasn't got tons of end float it should be OK. There's always a little clearance, that's what oil is for.
Your flying kind of looks like my flying. I have a Superpower electric and fly with it either on a 52' line or 60' line and I've crashed it more than it's been in the air. Put it back together and fly it again. It's funny because I should be way better than I am especially since my Dad flew control line when I was a kid but I never took the time to learn from him. Teenage years definitely got in the way of that and, of course, now I wish I had learned from him. Oh well, I'll keep trying until I get it right. But I'm flying solo and there's no one around in my area to help me maneuver me through my mistakes.
That trotts along nicely, ive just collected a B175 that I'm attempting to raise from its long slumber.
Brilliant video, keep em coming. My own channel has a lot of Bantam bits in, but this was very good. I reckon the price of Z400 side stands will go up pal. Keep posting.
Thanks nice B175. Don't think I would have the guts to try 70 on my Bantam.
@@bradwalton7599 it’s a case of one hand on the clutch, and a good set of ears listening for an engine tone change
'Props' to you for carrying out this modification Brad. All possible pun intended! Great job.
Thanks!
I've learned that lesson the hard way too. Cheap primary chain that soooo enjoyed stretching and thus eating its way into the cases on only a five mile test run...grr
Hmm, I have a cheap eBay primary chain running on my Bantam. I better pull the cover off and check it, last thing I want is that to come off doing 50mph on an A road.
Hi What size is the wrench 🔧 for the oil cap
the oil filter size is 76/14 for UK models www.lasertools.co.uk/product/3117/Oil-Filter-Wrench-3-8-inch-drive-76mm-x-14-Flutes
@@bradwalton7599 thanks 👍
When ever i think my d14 is just a 2 stroke it catches me out ,the devil is in the detail, great video
Thanks hoping no more surprises really need to clear the work bench there is a queue of other projects to do
Good to see it going back together. Did you line ream your new layshaft bearings? It still seemed a little bit tight once you screwed it together. May just be the perspective on the video. Best wishes, Dean.
Hi I bought the new bushes from Rex when I asked they said it shouldn't need reaming. With that blind bush I didn't fancy how good job I would do if I tried to ream it
I run 12 on my inlet and 16 on the exhaust on my XBR special, never had the idle stall with those settings, The original settings were too tight and I recon the manufacturers updated settings were far too loose
I suppose first they were 10 inlet and 12 exhaust which is too tight? and then they updated it to 15 inlet and 19 exhaust and thats too loose?
Hi brad what’s your mates bike please?
Hello it is a Ducati
My next bike a cb350 Honda twin carb was like a rolls Royce after the bantam.
Thinking of reliability, every time it rained heavy the bike would stop and wouldn’t go again until she dried out. Never did find out what caused it.
I have only ridden it a few times in the rain so far no issues but I have a new wiring loom on it
@@bradwalton7599 hi Brad, I wud love to have that wee bike now.😄
I own a 1962 Lambretta, so don't know anything about Bantams. I went with my Dad to visit his brother recently, who has just bought a 1955 150 model. I must say, it's a beautiful little bike. For some reason, the bike appears to select 1st gear, but no power goes to the wheel. 2nd and 3rd gear are fine.
Hi my first road legal bike was a bsa bushman 175 and went all over ni on it youth hosteling. Great memories
Just what I was looking for in a video, easy explanation thanks 👍ps where can I get printable degree sheets?
I just searched on google found this one www.blocklayer.com/degree-wheel
Very nice, well balanced and smooth. That's the direction most models are going. Thanks for sharing
No mention of the size of the oil filter wrench needed
I haven’t started my dads bike for months should I empty the sump I case fuel has got down and if so how do I do it ? Dad died last month and normally he does it
It shouldn't need to be drained unless the fuel tap leaks. If you want to check watch my fuel tap repair there I drain the engine sump which is the small drain plug the lager one is for the gearbox oil
excellent CL build!
Thanks!
good job the device weighs how many grams? batterie includ
