I truly enjoy your videos. Unlike most other creators you show work WITHOUT a bunch of unnecessary commentary. Your dedication to DAILY work is equally impressive.
Remember that the engine sags a bit, so you want the spinner higher by 1/4"-3/8" on first installation. At the open house, I saw many S-21s, mine included, with spinners lower than the top of the cowl due to this.
Our engine has been hung for about a year and a half. I know there hasn’t been any running vibration on it yet, but curious how much sag it gets just being hung on the mounts. Another builder commented to me they think there should have been a good chunk of sag done in that amount of time.
Almost certainly overkill on the hose clamps. In 55 years of using worm gear style hose clamps, I’ve never seen one work loose. The biggest failure mode for these style clamps is over tightening them. This distorts the screw thread slots and deforms the worm gear housing and that can lead to failure.
Worked with a guy that came to work an hour early for years on the _Monday_ after the time change. But never mind that. the plane looks great!
Yes enjoying videos. You two are awesome.
Thanks!!

Good idea not to push things too far when making critical cuts. Never hurts to sleep on it.
Love the build. Please consider a mask when cutting carbon. Vacuum cleaner or not....
Will do!! 😬
Careful…don’t be messing with Project Manager. 😂

Now you tell me! 😆
