I agree with Sara on the outro. Don't try to make it look like professional actors. Just be yourselves and how it comes out is how it is. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@benjantz7470]

I love watching this build and can’t wait to see you breaking it in and test flying it at Nampa! Great job Steve and Sara!

[@SteveHenry]

Thank you!

[@HeeHawHighlander]

Good stuff, so glad you are sharing these nuggets for folks who may not have thought of them.
We were sitting here nodding and saying yep yep and laughing about remembering those little steps.
Building our Highlander was a very enjoyable experience not counting some of the paint experience.

[@Project2Aero]

Great stuff Steve and Fam! Thanks for putting the time in to produce these!

[@edpaine7982]

I love everything this guy does!

[@thomasbordelon4149]

Love what you/crew are doing Steve thank you. There is always more that can be done to stay competitive. Baby steps are safe and necessary.....edit: but do you ever entertain any majors new ideas? Things that would make the judges, competitors and spectators gasp?

[@bartgoins1782]

Thanks for the update Steve. Thanks Sarah for getting this build documented.

[@lorenzoeraom2055]

HAHA we are loving the lil bits of humor and rad vibes thrown in! Great job on the vids! We are way stoked to see you're putting these on and definitely will join Patreon. Pretty work! Can't wait to get our highlander ordered!

[@KowboyUSA]

Really good profile and fit-up between the wing trailing edge and flap and aileron leading edges. That's a sweet wing.

[@hidesertskylane8161]

Good stuff, loved the ending lol

[@SteveHenry]

Thank you! -Sara

[@sanfordhelmuth8600]

Thanks Steve n crew! This is very timely for me cause it's exactly what I'm working on! Yea I have the problem of one wing at a time tho but that's what tape measures are for! Sanford

[@KitfoxPilot]

Always interesting to watch a good build. Thanks for posting it Sara.

[@MrCobb-rq8iv]

All I can say is: "can't wait".

[@paulg.yarger8797]

Merry Christmas Airplane Santa!!!

[@tomriddle4054]

I am excited to see your rematch. 3 questions: 1 how much does the sidewinder engine weigh, is it much different from the apex in weight ? what about rotating mass weight differences, 3 cylinders should be better. 2 dimensionally how different are they length width height, 3 will the same Skytrax gearbox work or is there something top secret in the works? . love your videos thanks for posting these they are informative and helpful!!

[@SteveHenry]

I think the three cylinder is about 15 pounds lighter. They use different gearboxes, Skytrax builds both of them. Complete with gearboxes installed they are very nearly the same size. The way I build motor mounts for both of them the prop flange is 1 1/4 inches farther forward on the three cylinder. The three cylinder gearbox is longer front to back than the one on the four-cylinder, and I also put the three cylinder engine slightly farther away from the firewall.

[@foesfly3047]

This is an awesome crew!

[@farkliaci9562]

You are super. Thank you everything. ☺️👏

[@philhill184]

Very interesting. Love your desire to get it ‘just right.’ Do you use levels or is it all measurements?

[@chrisaerts6489]

Great video.

[@jamesg4728]

Why haven't you used drooping ailerons when flaps are deployed, similar to Mike Patey's Draco or Scrappy?

[@misterd3979]

Chances are - I'm not going to build an airplane. I do like the fab stuff though.

[@SteveHenry]

Thanks for watching

[@19g222]

vary good to the work I'm like to I'm from Iraq good bay

[@hamiam2243]

Definitely not the same without Sara , but nice ailerons in flaps👍😎

[@tinolino58]

I am amused

[@Stubby0266]

I thought Stainless steel on aluminiun don't go together? Corrosion?

[@mhughes1160]

Get rid of the fluorescent lights it will stop the annoying humming noise in your videos
Thanks for sharing

[@davidwood8300]

Are you going to Sun n Fun 22?

[@SteveHenry]
