Thanks Cob, at first i got it from as a gift from a widowed woman, and stored it in a storage unit, after awhile i needed to sell it or assemble and try to fly it. so i tried to sell it on Craigslist and Lee was the guy who i was going to sell it to, however i didnt know the condition of it. well he never got back to me and now after months later i decided to see if it could start. once i added new fuel lines and essentials, it runs Great! now i need to assemble, i think ill keep it!!
Did you just buy ot, or are you selling it? If you just bought it, keep the videos coming, and keep us posted on the restore project... Good lookin' Hopper...
Looks like he bought it or pulled it out of a barn for someone else ("Lee") as he has no idea what he is looking at. Those bent poles are "wing spars", the purple thing is the "horizontal aileron", the yellow/orange thing the "rudder", and the first direction he was spinning the propellor (counter clockwise) was the right direction, not the wrong direction. Gonna need a complete going over, clean up, and restore, and an engine rebuild would help too. Don't paint dacron. Thanks for the upload.
Oh dear, a rather ill-informed RUclipsr who would do well to learn a bit more about flying in general, ultralights and the good ole Weedhopper before going any further. I wince every time he says , 'I guess......'. There's no room for guessing when you're a thousand feet up. Trust me.
