I would avoid grinding bolts as it can change the temper of the thread, it was not an accepted practice when I was in the RAF. As you did there I would turn them down to get a nice smooth finish and not to heat them up.
Interesting video series which I am watching with interest as I'm awaiting delivery of my 600kg Nynja kit. A couple of points though: There is nothing to be gained by putting loctite on bolts with nyloc nuts. I have spoken to Paul about this and he is in agreement. It is not normal engineering practice, even in aviation and does not achieve anything. Also, nyloc nuts and indeed any locking fastener CAN be reused provided it cannot be tightened using fingers only. Again, this is standard aviation engineering practice. As for shortening bolts, there should be AT LEAST 2 full threads protruding above the nut when the fastener is correctly assembled and tightened to the correct torque. Also, the orientation of bolts should be top to bottom or in to out unless there is a good reason otherwise.
Hi and thanks for watching our channel it means a lot. Regarding the Nynja build, we followed the build manual to the letter, this includes the use of loctite and bolt orientation. As you can imagine putting a video out like this a lot of prior research and clarification was sort. The last thing we would ever want to do is a) do something wrongly and b) mislead other builders. I hope you continue to enjoy our content. Mark
@@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946 Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm sure you're building it fully in accordance with the manual and researched everything before making the video. I must admit, coming from the trade professionally, I question some of the quirks that have crept into the lighter end of aviation and cringe at some of the thing I see, particularly on the electrical side. I'll still be watching with interest and taking note of your really useful tips from someone who's done it before. Thanks and all the best, Frank.
As always Mark excellent video.
Thanks again Ian
Enjoyed that Mark! Great to see how it all goes together
Thanks mate, very reassuring isn’t it 👍🏻
I love how the sport is progressing making it more accessible to all
Microlighting is definitely taking strides ahead, lots of developments across the board 👍🏻
Fascinating, informative and of course awesome 👍
Thanks Graham 👍🏻
Perfect timing just got my ninja kit this week.
Awesome, enjoy! A great aircraft 👍🏻
Enjoyed the video, does seem very complicated 😬.
Definitely worth taking your time on 👍🏻 thanks for watching 😊

That was our thoughts too, not a fan 👍🏻
CAP2163 = exciting time for Microlights. Imagine being able to carry a fat passenger and fuel TOGETHER. Or maybe just a fat pilot in my case 😂
A great step forward 👍🏻
