Thanks for these videos. It have really showed me a lot of details to make the build better. Your videos give me a good overview of what I am going to do next.
As for quality of video I thought it looked really good. Audio seemed to be low is all, if your in fact looking for constructive feedback. Looking forward to see your project in the air. Looks very nice so far. Take care.
For the GPS card, GARMIN recommends a 8gb card max but I have used larger. Then you reformat it per the instructions on their website. You don’t need a GARMIN specific card.
They are digital camera SD cards. I have a 32GB card that works, Garmin says I am lucky but they have had 72GB cards work in the past. My home computer stopped working and a friends computer only can do micro cards, the micro to standard card reader worked for me, don’t count on it. Follow the Garmin update instructions exactly, I had to call and have them explain step-by-step how to do it. Fun was had by no one.
A fiberglass cover for the bottom oof the wings would also look nice and keep it a bit more streamlined and prevent debris from getting up inside (or insects, birds, bugs,...)
I was originally going to make the covers from fiberglass so they would be closed. But then I realized I’d like to get this plane flying before 2032 when I retire! Lol
No I’m using the dji wireless mike. There’s a small part that plugs into the iPhone and then there’s the microphone I wear. There’s a link to the dji mike in the description box.
Question from a layman: Do you use a plastic product called Delrin anywhere on your aircraft?…I was under the impression it was used on aircraft. I’ve used it for small projects and it is easy to work with and is quite durable.
The rudder cable exits I made are machined from Delrin. That's probably the only place it's used. There are some other small plastic type parts on the airplane but I don't think it's Delrin.
I posted a comment earlier but it did not post. You might want to consider swapping those two dipole antennas on the belly for the Shark Fin style. I have had to replace both on my airplane as the ones like you have installed both broke off at different times.
Scott what the heck are doing with your Navy Cruzer?? You must be seeing some combat action lol! I’ve never had one of those little antennas break on any of my planes. The one on my Mooney was 50 years old and bent but it still worked. Those blade style antennas do look a lot nicer tho-I have one on my Cruzer.
Mark.... are you going to pull those "Rocket" Brkts. and have them Anodized or Powder coated ?............ I thought I was Going to like this plane better than the other but I now know I DO LIKE this one better......... You do such nice work, how about some 8X10 autographed Glossy's on your web site 🤔 I'll be #1 .
You should have been an avionics tech in the military 😆…do you think that the Garmin said no GPS position because the plane was in the hangar? I’ve seen that before…the card should just load data.
Honestly, unless you're planning on shooting LPV RNAV approaches to minimums on the regular, a Garmin GPS really isn't worth the expense. A portable ADS-B In device and a tablet can provide good VFR navigation capability at 1/10 the price.
It would be nice if full scale aircraft kit makes would take a lesson from one of the manufacturers of almost ready to fly, (ARF), RC planes. They include in the package a clam shell, vacuum molded clear celluloid cowl that fits over their painted cowl. That way you can mount it on the airplane with the engine and other stuff mounted, see where cuts in the cowl are needed, cut them out of the clear celluloid, then put it over the painted cowl to mark it for the cutouts.
Hi Maybe I am not right but I am just worrying about your throttle cable support attached to engine frame. Engine should move around and vibrate and this engine movement could constantly change your throttle position on carburettor.
I have been watching you for a few years now. Video has always been good, this one too. However, the AUDIO was way off, very quite. Also, I am watching on the same Chromebook so it's not that. Other youtubers I watch sound fine. Just some feedback. Otherwise, I love ALL your content as a medical grounded pilot. Cheers, John
Thanks for the feedback. I’m really not sure why the audio sounds good to some but not to others. In this video I had a microphone extension plugged into the dji wireless mic. On my next video I’ll try it without the extension and see if it works better.
When I read the "complaint" above this one I tested the audio on my two "high" level laptop computers (14 and 16 inch) and phone. All are equipped with the best HD audio systems available on those systems. I didn't have a problem with any of them. That doesn't mean there is not a problem with lesser systems and it could be the processor used to produce the sound is not working properly. If just a few people have the problem it could be their problem and not Kitplane's.
Mark... you are REDICULOUS with this stuff! (And I LOVE IT!). Themed Aircraft Builds! (Like American Chopper).
Merry Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus...
Great video. Always some good info for those building a Super Duty. Thanks for that!
Thanks for these videos. It have really showed me a lot of details to make the build better. Your videos give me a good overview of what I am going to do next.
Good to see a Royal Enfield bike in the background 😊
There’s two of them!
I ordered the floor boards the other day.

Hats of to you for the perfectionistic install overall!
Impressive....
The solution for the pitot tube heat is a nice fix, and I really like your solution for the back seat floor. It looks sharp.
WOW! What a flame job. Has Garmin called you yet? KJZI😂
On the Throttle cable AN3-7 (?) bolt connection, you mentioned the little “spacer” - the more accurate term is a “stand-off”. 😃 Good work!
Oh contraire! Lol. At stand-off is threaded. I have lots of standoffs and lots of spacers in this plane! Thanks for watching 👍👍
Just loving the MISSLES..very cool..are there factors involved with this idea?..weight balance placement and such..
What a mancave dude!!! That how I’m going to live my life someday 😂
A standard 8 or 16gb SD card is all you need, less than $10 on Amazon. Not like the old GNS days when you needed a proprietary $300 card and reader.
Nice video as always. Are you not afraid the fastener for the throttle cable is for weak, It will be some force when changing the throttle setting ?

Ouch GARMIN - shame on you! Sort Mark out please and give him a card ASAP.
Mark can you add a link for the iPhone mount with the light. That was a really nice video. Thanks!
I just added an Amazon link for the tripod, light, and iPhone mount in the description box of this video.
Video looked great. Did you use the onboard iPhone mic also?
No I’m using the dji wireless mike. There’s a small part that plugs into the iPhone and then there’s the microphone I wear. There’s a link to the dji mike in the description box.

@@KitplaneEnthusiast I suspect they cracked do to wind resistance during my "high speed" cruising...🤣

I’m not sure. I may paint it when I paint the access covers I still need to paint. Or maybe I’ll just take it to the powder coater??
You should have been an avionics tech in the military 😆…do you think that the Garmin said no GPS position because the plane was in the hangar? I’ve seen that before…the card should just load data.
Just wondering, do you mark those access panels ala military

I didn’t install the Garmin to fly VFR.

That would be awesome! Probably expensive, but it would help if cutouts are needed.

Videos are great. Only issue I have is I have to turn up my audio to 100 % to hear them.
Interesting. I’ve watched this video on my desktop, laptop, phone, and iPad and haven’t had to make any adjustments to the audio.
@@KitplaneEnthusiastsame here, no problem with volume.

No problem here. And I keep the volume low so my wife can't hear in the other room. She thinks I'm obsessed with aviation.
