I don't think I'd trust flying in it but it has all the making of an Everglades style air-boat.
It's a must now :)
Agreed… make it into an airboat.
Finally, a two-stroke inboard for the tender.
Kids never grow up, they just learn how to behave in public, occasionally.
You don't stop playing because you get old; you get old because you stop playing.
Make an airboat!!!
you beat me to it. Sefinitely an airboat.
Vote airboat!!
With a cage on that prop
Yeah but it would be Funny watching Ai disappear up the estuary at break neck speed....😅😅
Yes great idea.
I used to go microlighting with a mate of mine by Formby a few years back. Trust me, once you go up in one, you know what scarry is 😂 it's like flying sat in a pram 😮😂.
That's the Best 23 minutes I have seen for a long while. Grin factor 10!!!
Could that be the basis of a 2-man hovercraft? Perhaps call it "ROBBO'S REVENGE"!
I just love it when Simon gets so tickled. You boys sure are having fun.
Yeah a swamp boat would be so cool!
And a fairly large flat bottom boat would actually be useful for getting thing back and forth from Sarinda.
If practicality means eventually you end up removing the blower and
using a boring old outboard.
The fun project could still be helpful in the long run 😊
While the cats away the mice make a mess for the cat to clean up
U guys are absolutely hilarious !!
propeller looks like it was left out in the rain and like its going to rip to shreds... good thing you are wearing all this protective gear :D
This looks like a hold my beer moment.
AIR BOAT!!!! c'mon fella - what could possibly go wrong!!
I did not think it would push the van , wow
It’s got some power!
Plane, trains and automobiles when are you buying a train?😂😂😂😂
That's a good trike, now you need a wing. In the '76 I crossed the Mediterraneam, from Málaga in Spain to Melilla in Morocco, in one I made. 260 Km. Record at the time. They are very easy to fly, but be careful. And you need an air filter.
Hi guys, I woke up early this morning at 4:15 am because of phantom pain decided to have a look what’s on RUclips I’ve never laughed so much for a long time. You guys are crazy but I love it. Keep up the good work Cliff from Australia
Good morning! Glad we could make your morning more enjoyable!
Air filter: lockwired in place
Carby fuel bowl: na . . .
Nice Rotax, I'd be finding a small alloy punt and building an airboat. That would be perfect for the mudflats and would be 100% worth the effort!
Looks like great fun. Like that old saying Boys and there toys.
That looked like a blast. You guys are crazy though.
A suggestion for you. Take every screw bolt fastening device and clean rust off. Then inspect for wear. Aviation is a very unforgiving mistress.
That was a great episode. Boys will be boys😂. Either an airboat or hoovercraft. I think a hoovercraft would be more fun.
G'day Crew,
If its finished its flying days ,then an airboat is the obvious move ,with the right hull.
Or...
A hovercraft, if a good working hull section can be found .
Respect....!
Really fun episode. I enjoyed it a lot!
Big boys and Toys o my . to much time on your side, last seen heading to infinity!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
You two guys cannot be left alone!!!!!
Interesting little gem , it will be great whichever way you Lads decide to do with it.
To much fun. Just to much fun! Thanks for the video. Jon
Whatever you decide to do with it, please add a prop guard, especially when you're going to be taking camera closeups. One meeting with the running prop would be your first and last.
A propeller guard would significantly reduce the thrust produced.
Looks like a Gyro copter, I think all you need are the copter blades atop the high post. They are not powered but spin and provide lift by the forward movement. I always wanted one.
You've got all the mechanicals you need for a hovercraft, message if you would like some details
I couldn't stop smiling from start to finish.
Airboat would be a great idea. All you need is the engine and propeller. You need to make a frame to hold the engine, a guard for the propeller, and air rudders behind it a stick and cables controls the rudders so you can steer and Bob’s your uncle.
Thx for the vid.
A Mainair Ultralight, looks like fun.
Boyz & Toyz springs or flys to mind, oh oh Gemma, get some control here Pleeeeaaaze XX
I can see Simon now wind blowing through his hair.......nope.😊
Big long sandy beach!...and let her go!! 😆😆😎
My first thought, before you even mentioned it, was to make a fan boat out of it. Might enable you to get out to sarinda even on extremely low water. Just get some crappy old flat bottom aluminum skiff, fabricate up some motor mounts and a prop cage, boom!
Use it as a tool. Pull a sled with it, and use it to pull material to and from your boat.
Love you.
Given your recent drone experience - this is slightly worrying!
Don't forget your dead snake for that Mad Max chase scene moment.
Hovercraft would be fun. Disappointed there wasnt even any donuts
Fun video thanks.
Looks like fun dude. Maybe a little Mad Max thing.
Hovercraft? They are just th engine you have and Stitch and glue Ply. And sewing machine tent fabric skirt could then help get to Sarinda across the mud
An airboat would make it easier to transport stuff to and from Sarinda. Later, you could add it to the aft of Sarinda as an emergency backup engine that could get you to safety in the event of engine problems with the main boat.
To me that does look like an hovercaft. Year a bit of a project, but could be usefull for transporting stuff to and from the big project. maybe, I think, or not, no idea.
Put it all together correctly, install aircraft floats and you will have a fantastic microlight! Don’t modify or change it as some other RUclipsrs have, enjoy it for what it really is. The result will be great!
Turn it into a hovercraft!
It's a Mainair Blade Flash Two. British designed and made. Shame it's been allowed to get into this state. Somewhere there should be a matching wing for it-albeit the wing material now almost certainly rotted out,but there should still be the wing frame around. Years ago,flew over 600 hours in one of these-absolute great fun!
Don't be scared now, you've bought it now get a wing and all the other necessities for and your off into that wild blue yonder!! Soar like an eagle not crow like a chicken!
It's basically supposed to have a hang glider on top of it, so it's basically a microlight hang gilder with a engine that you can sit in. They don't look that safe. Looks cool though.
Wow, what a toy! Strange, I saw a Bond type one for sale yesterday at Newark Autojumble! Tear the engine out and fasten the prop to the front of the new garden workshop. Find a fast spinning alternator and use it in emergency on Sarinda! Stay well and out of the wind!
One heck of a leaf blower!
You’ve bought an ultralight! Now you just need the glider wings….😂 #MenWithoutAdultSupervision
Put it on Sarinda and come cruise the Florida Everglades!!
Those props are delaminating…! But yeah.. airboat
Gemma you've got ye hands full with them 2 lol, Simon an Robbo idea to power the next boat project, ?
I always fancied flying, but am prevented from obtaining a CAA pilot's licence due to being a bit colour blind. However, I could fly a hang-glider as they were under the BHGA at that time and I could subsequently obtain a power qualification for one. The snag came shortly after I qualified on hang-gliders (and bought my own), with two fatality incidents with one particular brand of microlight kit in the same year. The CAA threw up its hands in horror and took control of powered flight, requiring a PPL(d) licence, which I am unable to obtain.
Good Buy ROBBO. 😊😊 Stick some Floats on it so ya can pull rubbish skiff with it. 😮😅😂😊 oh and Roar up and down the Estary at Speed.😊 Carry on. Gemma just Jealous as she,s a Speed Freak as well. 😅😅 she would be roaring up and down the drive if she was there.😮😮😅 Bring memories back for Si re his Bike days.😅😅 Carry on.😊😊
That thing scares the life out of me! Gem x
@@ShipHappensAdventures Me too!
Mount it on your dingy. Then you won't be dropping outboard motors in the lagoon. Lmao 😂
Oh Gawd.....that is scary. Please don`t die Robbo! Gyro`s are notorious for crashing
It's not a gyro, it's a trike from a microlight - looks like a Mainair Flash 2, without the wing. If properly inspected, with correct wing and with a valid permit to fly, they're as safe as most aircraft. Of course, you do need thorough training on weightshift types before attempting to fly one.
You would be in your element there with that 2t I think a gokart would be cool. That thing has plenty a go in it to
The wading pool was ROTFL!
So you're to blame for all that wind we've been having!
Candy floss machine 😂😂
Build a prop driven motorbike, that should be straght up your alley Simon🤣🤣🤣
I think an airboat is a great project. Put pontoons where the wheels are, and then have hydrofoils that you can lower below the pontoons. full send it and get up over the waves LOL
Air boat! Airboaty! Boat with prop! Yes!
Or a wicked fast go-kart.
Fit sea kayaks to it😂
Used to go microlighting, sounds a good engine, funny how everyone relates size to safety, if the engine stopped I'd rather be in one of those than a cessna, but I would buy an old Rib and make a Airboat version 😁 0:54
Makes one hell of a leaf blower
Definitely air boat time!
I think that with such infrastructure you can build an ultrilight airplane (adding wings); or an "autogiro" (don´t know the word in English) adding two free rotation blades on the top of the mast. That was an invention of Spanish Enginering Raul De la Cierva, in the middle 30. It wolud be a good adition to Sarinda...And please excuse My English (obviously it is not my native languaje)
You's are insane. Yep, put it on a boat - a flying boat. A turbo hair drier for Gemma?. That thing has some serious acceleration. Cracking video brilliant entertainment. Hilarious!!!
Very early 503 Rotax ultralight engine, kettering ignition with an A-drive reduction. All obsolete now.. The 2 means 2 up or 2 place.
A great thrill.
Do a Robbo's Plane Happens or Robbo's Plane Mishaps, it could be an offshoot channel 😊
Mount it on a flat bottomed boat like air boats here in Canada or in Florida, great for getting over swamps and flooded mooring spots!
guys you too could get together do that as a RUclips project bolt that down to some type of platoon and make it into a air bow just figure out the steering mechanisms and I think that would be lost so you two could do it together the only thing is you would have to build some kind of guard around that propeller four if you flipped over you would not gett chopped in half, because you would get her seriously if you got hit by that. I would make it into a airboat I think it be awesome for you two guys to do together
Make and air 🚢!Awesome
Air boat would be fun and so would a air -Trike, get the forks and front tire from a old motorcycle and put it on along with bigger tires in the rear and a prop guard and when you want an air-boat drive it onto a Jon boat with a tiller system then BOOM goes the DYNOMITE ! LOL. Thats what I'd do for sure !
your like a couple of naughty teenagers....awesome i love it
Nice leaf blower lol
Yup, haven't got one of those. Simon, you were liftin just as it was getting on the pipe Mate, its got more in it lol
they use them engines in a hovercraft - so build one of them!
LEGENDS!
Nice work, treat all props as "live".
lol boys and our toys … I vote air boat lol oh and get Gemma to try it first lol
What fun.
It would be ideal for taking supplies to the boat at low tide. 😂🤣😂
Airboat, sort of, just to skid over to Sarinda.
Overall comment of the video:
Boss is away, kids start to play 😀
Airboat?
definitely needs to go in that plastic kids boat in the yard 😂
Well you two I think somewhere between a hover craft / air boat as got to be a laugh a minute 🥴😀😀😀
You could mount that on your dinghy, add some stubby wings & turn it in to an Ekranoplan!
You should think about building a WIG; aka a mini Ekranoplane! :-)
Get a wing go fly it. Maybe get some instruction. I’ve jumped out of those a few time. Fun toys.
You guys are NUTS!
Could be handy for drying out the bilges quicker so you can crack on with the painting.
Boys will be boys!🇨🇦
