    Very Cool Steve i have run Yamaha apex engines in snowmobiles for a few years and you are using the correct type and make of engine. They are some of the most dependable engines on the market. I'm not a pilot but do enjoy seeing videos on flying. Fly on Steve be safe

    Steve, some advice. The next evolution to STOL drags is electric. You have short flights. (You trailer your plane everywhere anyway) want to stop fast? Reverse the motor. Want torque to spin a huge paddle prop? Instant torque. Mark my words, that is the next progression in this "sport"

    Steve, you have us all excited, especially since Scrappy is done.
    Why do you choose Highlanders over SuperSTOL’s?
    Since you use a slatted wing, is it basically the same wing as the SS?
    We look forward to your build series!

    • @SteveHenry
      @SteveHenry  3 года назад +1

      I just like the Highlander better. No it’s not the same wing even with slats.

    I know you're a dealer for Just Aircraft but there's no telling how many of those planes you've sold that you didn't sell. Same for Edge Performance engines. I'd love to see you reap all of the reward on a sidewinder setup.

  • @adrienlefloch7855
    @adrienlefloch7855 3 года назад +2

    What is the weight if you know?? I’m still stuck on the Viking Mitsubishi engine 160lbs at 90hp. I bought a 701 kit instead of a 750 and I’m so limited on engines. What is your opinion on putting the Honda engine? 220lbs 130hp

    • @markmayer7495
      @markmayer7495 3 года назад +2

      There is a great Facebook chat group "Yamaha aircraft conversions". Lots of info. I believe that the Yamaha 4 cylinder is about ~180lbs with the 3 cylinder being about 10-15 less. Again it's not so cut and dry, when weighing these engines as the weight is dependent on whatever accessories you include in the weight assessment. To me it sounds like these engines are about 10 or 20 pounds heavier than the rotax 912.

  • @schecter6l6
    @schecter6l6 3 года назад +1

    Hey Steve why not build a turbo prop version. Get a jet engine off a Mosquito something like that. Much lighter and get you some beta. That'll do it!

    • @SteveHenry
      @SteveHenry  3 года назад

      That’s beyond our budget. Just the engine would cost several times as much as this whole plane will be. But it would be really cool!

    What do you expect the fuel burn of the new Yamaha in stock configuration to be?

    • @SteveHenry
      @SteveHenry  3 года назад +1

      I don’t expect it to be really any better or worse than other engines. Seems like it pretty much takes a given amount of fuel to make a given amount of power. I know some engines are more efficient than others but will just have to wait and see what it gets.

    Hi Steve is the Sidewinder engine a snowmobile engine and if so does it use the same gearbox as the apex

    • @whitetrashgarage8110
      @whitetrashgarage8110 3 года назад +1

      Yes, it is a snowmobile engine.
      It's using a different gearbox than the apex. Mounting is different and also a different gear ratio due to different power curves of the engine.
      The "nytro" sled engines are the non turbo version of this engine.
