would love to see a video on cylinder/head temp instruments...
Since more than one of you are interested in the engine instruments, I should make a video on that. In many ways they are more interesting and useful because they include both temperature and pressure instruments.
What an excellent project, I’d be interested in how you calibrated the stall angle into the instrument.
It took very little calibration compared to my engine instruments that I mentioned. I just flew the air plane and took it to a power off stall noting where the instrument needle pointed. Back on the ground, just loosen the clamp screw and move the vane in relation to the vane shaft in the appropriate direction. I only had to do this once and it was perfect. Hope this helps.
Brilliant! As a Zenith Ch601 builder/owner I really appreciate this. AOA are very expensive, especially if you have to add a read-out device, and not just the sensor. I think someone like myself, with no machining experience or tools, could take an old 2-1/4" panel gauge and use the frame and body to install these components. The only comment I have is that the vane support seems quite bulky. Wondering if it could be made with less material and more streamlined? Anyway, great idea and thanks for posting!!!!
Glad you found it interesting. I knew smart people like you would see other possibilities in it.
Great design. Where to get the detailed plans and parts list?
You should be able to stop the video on the drawings and just jot down the dimensions and other info you need. Sorry, I don't have a web site to put info like that.
I have to disagree with you. The #1 reason for broken taps is tapping before coffee. 😂
Ha Ha, that too!
Excellent drawings. I'm going to make one but definitely for my Amazon plasma torch!
Great and interesting video. I would love to see videos on how you made the other instruments. I'm a bit of a tinkerer myself and I've been thinking about making videos. Thanks for the video and thank you for the inspiration!!!
The engine gouges are a little more involved. I would probably make content on them by category, such as pressure and temperature types.
I guess I should have said something to encourage you on making videos. All I can say is that it takes a lot of time and you're working for free unless you can somehow get a thousand subscribers. My stuff is just to mostly pass on ideas to like-minded people who like to do interesting things such as yourself.
Nice video. Would you consider use a hall effect sensor instead of a potentiometer for better reliability? A hall effect sensor can be completely sealed and uses magnet to detect position.
Hi Kevin, another way to make a vane sensor would be to use a strain gauge. I see them on Amazon for four for &20 and they look like they could be epoxied to the carbon composite vane. It would be water proof and very thin and streamlined and no moving parts. I imagine that the output would be non-liner so we would probably need someone who speaks fluent Arduino or maybe even a full blooded Arduinian from the planet Arduin to write the code to make it work. Way above my pay scale.
Excellent Ken
Thank you!
Excellent video
Thank you for your kind comment.
I was always jealous I couldn’t be the model showing off the device.
Sharp! Great job.
You were correct to note via written comments (time hack 6:05) that if the Magic Smoke leaves the box....one must start all over again!
I’ve seen air bending and coining… again, this guy can do anything.
4 mins into the video, why millimeters? Eww. I refuse.
We all know about press fit and slip fit, here you learn about shrink fit. I learned about this, a long time ago, from a genius, the very man in this video.
Am I the only person that thought of the movie flight of the bird man? Lol 😂
Ken, It was after you demonstrated this for me in the hangar across from me at KTIX I knew I had a true inventor "across the street"! Thank you for being so inviting and showing me all the stuff you did on this as well as your former aircraft.
Thank you for your kind remarks.
Ken, You are a true craftsman and your careful and thoughtful narration of this expert video is just another solid example of your helpful nature. Great video!
Well it's people like you who can really appreciate it, thakns!
Great job. There will be a bunch of owners viewing this.
Thank you.
Great tutorial but one criticism: never use bondo. You should have used epoxy with flox or microbeads. Bondo will shrink as it cures, and is way to brittle for a vibrating part. Always use epoxy and flox or microbeads if you if ever have to do any fill work.
An intelligent person will consider their audience and use verbiage that will make sense to who is listening. I believe he referenced the places to get the specs. Although you might know something like, a kid knows water expands when it freezes, doesn’t mean you know everything. Understanding that you don’t know, allows you to learn. I enjoy being the biggest idiot in the room. I have the most room to grow in knowledge.
Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to seeing this video! Hope you’re doing well and greetings from Bremen, Germany 🇩🇪 -Reeder II
Greetings, yes, I am well.
