Your work is beautiful. I remember watching a guy swearing like a trucker as he glued YUGE VGs on the transitions of his impeccably-built Sea Hawk biplane amphibian. The cockpit / engine set up reportedly caused serious airflow disruptions to the prop. The disrupted air was amplified by the prop and actually made for dangerous handling quirks. Please watch for that when you soon begin your high-speed testing. Your radiator installation (like everything else in your build) is very clean and thought-out, but I'm nervous about it's proximity to your prop (tip) and it's inline position with your control surfaces.
Thanks for that Paul hopefully I don’t have any issues like that definitely something to watch out for though appreciate the comments and gives me some things to consider 👍
Um I just checked and I think your right I didn’t check just saw they were RH and thought they were good but these are RH tractor not pusher ! Glad someone is checking 😃 will need to send back to the manufacturer . I did order RH Pusher thought.
Wait, with a belt drive isnt your prop backwards ?? So doesnt it spin clock wise if you are sitting on top of the engine looking backwards....Maybe im wrong??
Dear Michael. Thanks for the videos. Could you answer a few questions since I am trying to mount a similar radaitor to our Hornet Stol gkider tug (subaru EJ22, 2.3L). How are you mounting the radiator ie where are you bolting to the radaitor? Are you wusing rubber mounts? What reduction are you using on your PRSU? NR propellors say 90-150Hp. You have 200hp. What diameter are you using. we want a blade angle 0rf17 degrees are slightly less at 2.9:1 reduction. Can you show the details of the engine mount?
@peter Champness in my RUclips channel you can find more details for radiator fitment and Subaru installed in my zenith 750 Cruzer. I go into detail on the Subaru aircraft engine conversion. The prop on my seaplane is a custom carbon fibre one I have made. I actually have an NR reinforced for 200hp brand new never used the would suit tractor gear reduction like my Cruzer or hornet.
Thanks Michael, The radaitor fitment will be similar to the 750 Cuiser. Specifically I am woudering how you attached the radiator. Did you use the welded on nouts or did you rubber mount onto the welded lugs or something else?
Perfect radiator mounting structure. The look of the reduction box is also very beautiful, can't wait to see when the engine starts😀👍
Thanks Harry appreciate your comments 👍
fantastic. Watching from Canada
Thanks for that appreciate the comment 😊
Mike, it’s looking great with plenty of cooling area!
Thanks Jack appreciate it
Great to see an updated progress report..
Thanks for that appreciate the comment

Or maybe your blades are 180 deg off. I cant tell with the covers on. Awesome work by the way!!!
Yeah the covers and blades haven’t been set yet 👍 good pick up though 😃
Um I just checked and I think your right I didn’t check just saw they were RH and thought they were good but these are RH tractor not pusher ! Glad someone is checking 😃 will need to send back to the manufacturer . I did order RH Pusher thought.
It's coming along nicely. The engineering is very interesting.
Thanks for that appreciate it yes this is definitely one of a kind 😀
In your next video, it wouldn't it be nice to see, slip bathroom scale under each wheel to give us weight.
I definitely plan on doing weight updates along the way will try incorporate them into the videos 👍
Really excited about this build. When will you build the wings?
Thanks Charles Once I do some powered float testing I’ll then start on the wings . Can’t wait
Making good progress mate. What sort of HP do you think the engine will make?
Thanks Mate appreciate it. should be over 200hp

Yeah definitely RH and blade is just sitting in loose
Hi Michael what he Prop? Lugaprop?
Hi this one is an NR prop
