James' Boat's and RC Planes
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 27 ก.พ. 2010
This channel is to share videos of my boat building. I am not a expert but a hobbyist with wood working skills. I love model RC airplanes and boating, and I’ve built 3 other boats in my new found retirement and countless RC kits. Now for the first time sit back and relax and join my video blogs.

The big day after countless hours of chasing little bugs and fixing potentially a catastrophic event. I was sure there was no doubt the maiden flight would be successful. All Glory to God!

Has anyone in the comments converted the eb2800i to propane? All iv seen have been the eu2200i
No I dont think so
Сними видео про свои инструменты! 👍🏻
Понял))
Для чего эти двигатели?
Whether it’s an AquaTrax, or an air compressor, or a dishwasher, there’s no better feeling than making the repair yourself.
Love the Boat 👍 I would really love to build one like It.
James, James’ boat build!
Nice boat James!
She's so beautiful! You inspire me James!
Thanks for update.
MORE to come !
Haha. Knew the lighthouse before you said where you were. Always wanted to do RC airplanes, but never got around to it. Focus has been on boats lately,. Wanting to do America's Great Loop when I retire, so watching those videos and boat reviews mostly. Guess I should go back and watch the RC videos, because I like listening to you. Boat looks fantastic.
Thanks I would want a bigger boat for the loop !
James, do you enjoy the ride and handling of this boat better than your last one, now that you've had the new one for a while. I know you said the other one rocked too much for comfort
Yes I love this boat the best. One is the cabin to be out of the elements, two is the ride smooth in a chop and three the power of a 200hp outboard fantastic !
Luv it. Building the glen L "little hunk". The fun is in the struggle
This is exactly what im looking for and and im gonna be busy watching every part iv been looking at buying a fishing boat but the personal touch of build one is even better
I had so much fun I built four ! But this chinook is the best with a 200hp outboard
@jamesboatbuild i can imagine you did, im on episode 12 at the moment, thats insane considering you have a 90hp and it does 40mph, do you know if they have plans for any other style boats?
James, Im so sorry! She was so beautiful!
Ya me too,...but its all part of the hobby. Build, Fly, Crash.
is that similar to PRORUN 48V 38 in
i dont know
How is it holding up?
So far so good not only do I use it for mowing I tow my trailer around my property and also use it as a golf cart. I will say the batteries only charge when they get below 40% and are cool (not used for a day) but they come right back up and are good to go
The propeller isn't secured. No prop washer and bolts.
your right!
Fill the rear of the fuselage with helium
🤣
She sounds awesome!!
How does the weight of fuel affect balance?
The plane will inherently be nose heavy with full tank of fuel however when need to balance the plane the tank must be empty. Moreover, lets say the plane is airborne and low on fuel the CG will still be balanced. Tail heavy airplanes crash even so at full scale.
@@jamesboatbuild Thanks for the reply.
Thank you for getting back to me. Have a wonderful day. 👊🏼
Thanks for sharing the information. I see you have the lawnmower about 10 months, are you still liking it? I’m in Charleston SC. Thanks Philip Floyd
I love it! Mind you I'm not one to save the planet by going electric but I do enjoy not dealing with storing gas and oil changes. It's way quitter than gas and I don't miss my old tractor one bit. I bought online through the Army exchange who price matched sams club sale price. It was a deal for me!
I have this same mower. It's currently in the shop would not hold a charge.
I use 30% of battery for one mowing of my yard. I don't charge ever time after I mow and when I do charge I only plug in the next day so where the batteries are cool. I also learned not to leave the charger plugged in all the time when not charging. I never went lower than 30% charged. Hope this helps with your mower.
Can you tell me where you got the lawn mower the yard force mike
i got mine at the army exchange because they price match and no tax but sams club and costco sells them and direct from yard force.com Sams club had them on sale in the spring time
Very impressive engine! Where did you buy them and how much did you pay for them?
here is the link ch-ignitions.com/
@@jamesboatbuild Awesome! Thanks for your reply.
Thanks, I saw this mower at Sam’s. Might check it out.
Those are cool but there like 5k a piece engine alone
Nope $1800 USD apiece
Just waiting for the sheet to catch.
O Noooooooooooo
So how did it fly with that CG?
It flew perfectly it was a great flyer
@@jamesboatbuild ok ty
Sounds great!!
Beautiful plane James! I’ve got the 1/3 Cub BUSA kit also, maybe next winter, still polishing my boat up.
Roger that ! And might I add your boat looks fantastic. I had one guy think I was giving him BS when I told him I built it myself from plans. Sarcastically he said," did you build the trailer too" and I said "no" but if you want proof go to James' boat build on youtube his face dropped when I pointed out the decals on my boat advertising that. lol
Beautiful, great job !
Thank you
That's a lotta lumber there, boss. May she give you many years of happy landings. Well done!
Thank you
How's the boat you made? Did you keep it or sell her.
It's Great and a keeper. I'll be doing a 2 year update this fall
kool
Only one year warranty on the battery?? I was convinced I need one after I saw your great review on it. but couldn't believe my eyes when I read the owner's manual and saw the one-year warranty on the battery on page 43 😢
I don't know, but I still loving my mower
I'm pretty sure Costco is selling these with 56 volt lithium iron phosphate batteries - much longer life, but more expensive to replace. Currently on sale at $3k, $500 off normal $3500 price. Online only.
@@WesleyLocust 2k at sams club right now
Great sound from the twins! If you run into trouble with cylinders dropping out check/replace the plugs. I had to replace 5 out of 7 on my 50cc but it now runs perfectly like it did on the first 40oz of fuel.
Truth be told one of the engines new out of the box the valves were way out of adjustment. Over all nicely built.
Going to be one hell of a great Douglas!
Nice! Can’t wait to see your plane fly!
Me too !
try g2 feather fill instead of paint. It's a catalyzed high build polyester primer that is super chemical resistant, will hide 36 grit sanding scratches and polish up nice so the part comes off easy. It's almost like tooling gelcoat but way easier to work with and apply. Down side is the short pot life.
I'll check that out thanks for the tip
Did you use mold release or carnuba wax on your mold
mold release
that table is gonna fly away!
Those sound awesome!! Be careful or that table is going to take off down the street. lol.
I Know ,.....right!
Great idea!
Uh, paint on molded beeswax prior to laminating, then gently warm? (What I usually did when doing fiberglass. Note: usual was to use epoxy.)
I'm still scratching my head ,...that's ok, I'm move on. I just repaired the mold it was easy to do
Gel coat and epoxy setbacks can really leave you scratching your head. Just when you think you got it down something pops up and you start to question the whole process. I'm right there with you. I have a finish coat of 2:1 TB Epoxy blushing, and I can't figure why. I think my ratio got off somehow. I'm sure you'll get it sorted out, good luck.
That is an adjustable pitch prop. A variable pitch prop is variable in flight.
Yeah, but first we need hollow crankshafts to have access to the prop via servos. The biggest problem to that is how to seal the crankcase in the rear.
@@brucelytle1144 adjustable,...hmm that's true as well
Sounds perfect!
Looks fantastic but a bit scary. The blade hubs should have an indexing key. Its highly improbable to eyeball the blades and the slightest misalignment by only .002 / .003 of an inch will cause a large load imbalance and possible fatigue failure of the hub or blade. Fly safe..
I guest thats why the manufacturer says do stand in-front of propeller
