    Those interested in the take-off distance I looked at the temp that day and it was 80 Fahrenheit, dewpoint 62 and slight right crosswind, and full fuel and 120 pounds in baggage. Chad and I were 565 pounds. 26 seconds and measured on GIS at 1900 feet. For what it's worth.

    Calm water and the float tips were submarining at times. I would be going up a few float sizes to start. Combined with a long time to get up on-step and airborne. Check AOA. It might be challenging trying to achieve a safe power-off landing in it's current rigging. What is the W&B? It appears from the short clip, to have pretty sketchy margins. (nose heavy). Murphy’s have good STOL characteristics this plane does not. Be safe and get an A&P or an EAA - Build Assistance to have a look, please.

      I have full scale aviation background & fly RC aircraft.. RC are much more sensitive to CG shifts..weight and balance can be seen immediately in hand or on balance stand & scales .. in the air we see & feel the results without mortal risk..one finds discernment of aircraft behavior is the primary focus as control is the same, but operation is MUCH simplified compared to full scale.
      I fly electric STOL land & float planes, on the RC we usually have ONE water rudder that doesn't retract, now more planes have two, and reverse thrust allowed by speed controllers is common..
      Seems like quite a plane..big 4 blade prop tells you how much torque that engine has!
      What a sound!
      Fly safe!

      *I might have noticed elevator/power control touch concern..
      *Full aft elevator required until on step is typical to assure prevention of noseover..coordination of backpressure is absolute minimum control required ..
      Engine out float landing characteristics of this plane with its weight & feathering prop must inspire more confidence in the moment..retaining energy through roundout & flare🤔

    That beast sounds amazing! Just a brute! So "throaty" ... reminds me of an offroad race truck / meets float plane. You know it's good when it makes you laugh out loud on take off. That fuselage looks like it's built like a tank too. Impressive.... Thanks for sharing the video. I was fortunate to spend quite a bit of time in Beavers, Otters, and Cessna's in my early days, up in Ontario ...flying out of Knobby's in Sioux Lookout. I always said the best part of the fishing trips for me, was the ride in and out in the float plane.

    First Rule of Floatplanes: If there are boats afloat in the area, then be sure to stay touching the water while passing them (while touching the water) at, say, 140 kts.
    It's important that they know that if there was a boat race, the floatplane would win by a 2:1 ratio of Top Speed on Water.
    After this has been accomplished, then you can takeoff and enjoy the flight.

    I'd go with a Pontiac 455 (aluminum block) for a few reasons: The block is the same size as a small block Chevrolet so weight is essentially the same; as such, you could make big horsepower/torque without having to rev the snot out of it. Use a cam that gets max torque at around 3200 rpm and you could run that thing forever and not worry about reliability.

    @lsswappedcessna 10 месяцев назад +8

    I have a feeling LS swaps are gonna make general aviation more affordable. I mean, get you a shitty old junker of a plane, stick an LS and an upgraded prop on it, get an ECM that can self tune at those altitudes, and fill it full of pump gas. You're also not running full RPM in the ideal setup, there's a reduction gearbox between the engine and prop, so your service life should be way longer.
    All in all, maybe $100k to be all ready to go, vs. $150k for a brand new plane and however much you end up spending on overhauls from running at high RPM the whole time. For comparison, 4500 rpm (iirc what he said he cruises at) would be relatively close to what a car with a 2 speed would be running at interstate speeds. Maybe 500 rpm or so higher at the worst.

    • @lizzyobrien2376
      @lizzyobrien2376 10 месяцев назад +2

      Actually, cost should be even less. You can get a 525 HP LS3 (the same one that's in the Corvette) straight from Chevrolet for around $12K, and the ECU, for a self tuning one, run about $1K. If you really wanna be safe, I'd also recommend a dry sump kit for around $5K. And don't even bother with a gear reduction drive, just slap that prop to the flywheel and send it! XD

    • @lsswappedcessna
      @lsswappedcessna 10 месяцев назад

      @@lizzyobrien2376 idk about sending it, from what I've read the gear reduction is kinda the cherry on top of adapting automotive engines for both aero and marine applications. In both applications the factory engine remains at a constant high rpm to maintain forward propulsion. Car engines really don't like revving so close to red line for that amount of time and will wear out drastically quicker doing so. I'm thinking the best bet is getting the engine between 2500 and 4500 rpm, kinda like doing 80-90 on the highway depending on number of gears and ratios. The majority of that cost is also getting a plane with a bad engine, repairing any non-engine related issues, and going through registering it with the FAA while having a non-factory engine. IIRC you have to have any and all modifications to the airframe and power plant overseen, inspected and certified by an aviation mechanic.

      @@lsswappedcessna Bigger planes like this probably using longer props where max prop rpm may be about 1500 rpm. An Ls engine turning 1500 rpm is not much above idle and is probably putting out 65 hp. There would be zero benefit to using a huge V8 running at idle speeds to make 65 hp.
      These engines make their power at redline, a gear reduction is absolutely necessary to put the engines full power at redline (5900 rpm) to turn the prop at its max rpm of 1500. For max efficiency with plane cruising at 70% power (4200rpm) puts you right in the meat of the torque plateau; a variable pitch prop will allow you to coarsen the pitch to absorb all 400 ft/lbs.

    After 5000 hours on floats, DH2, DHC3 and the B18 beta would sure have been nice, but not required. Was there a flap setting on departure? Brings back lots of memories of northern Ontario and Minnesota flying around Quetico and wilderness. Geoff 28,000 hours. Retired DC10, B737, B757, B767, B777, B787.

      @@SchlenkAir: thanks for the reply, if I remember correctly we use 10 degrees on the Beaver and 20 degrees on the ‘buck 85’ C-185). The Beavers had the R98 at 450 and the Otter was rated at 600 HP (both with radial engines and not the turboprop versions). Cheers and “keep the shiny side”up does not work on float planes!

      @@SchlenkAir: the Beaver is a dream machine on floats (R98 version). Company I was chief pilot for in the early 80s was licensed to carry two external canoes, one on each float. Never used ‘herc’ straps as they could damage the canoes. Always used one long rope per canoe. Made a nice picture with two canoes strapped on.

    That is really cool. Where is the radiator? I've seen some guys mount them horizontally over the engine and use regular air cooled nostrils to duct air to them. I'd probably go with a P-51 style diverging/converging duct in the fuselage. Just curious where it is on this plane?
