Sounds like this work was being done just at the right time.

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Yes, was definitely worth doing

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Good vid 👍

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Thanks Pat

[@ranbirsingh7666]

Very informative video 👍. Would definitely love to see a complete build of plane from start to finish 🤘😁

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Keep watching I think it’s inevitable at some point

[@clearprop]

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on why the batten tips cracked like that. Is it something common on Skyrangers?

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Age would be the main cause, very common on all microlights, an SB has just come out for the C42 for the same thing

[@clearprop]

@@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946 Thanks for that. Mental note made to check these...👍😁

[@stolcrazy3317]

Love these videos 👍 would be interested to know the reasoning for not doing the swift conversion? reskinning is the next upgrade on my classic

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

Thanks for watching, we looked at converting to a Swift but this has a Jab engine and doesn’t have enough spare horses. To be honest I think the 472.5MTOW is pushing it, hope this helps, final video out soon 👍🏻

[@stolcrazy3317]

@@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946 thanks for the reply, that makes sense. Look forward to the next vid 👍

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

Wow, I have lots of grey hair... Haha

[@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946]

You’re first project 👍🏻
