Looks like he is not afraid of anything. Even the title made me shiver. I use the Arduino Nano boards, because it’s the cheapest way to get even the parts. But as an ignition system for a (small) aircraft?!? Some motors use dual spark systems with completely independent ignition electric/electronics behind for good reason. Is there no air traffic regulation? Here in Germany you even need a full certification for tv-models of a certain size.
@@fromgermany271 Being a born-criminal , I don't really care about certification. But the reliability of an aircraft engine is not an empty word for me. Dual-spark system you just mentioned - is a generally accepted and correct solution.Therefore, I would stick with this concept: I would make two independent ignition circuits, each with its own "arduino", and i would pour the arduino-boards over in a layer of compound, and placed them into metal cases to exclude the influence of external electromagnetic interference. And no clamps! Soldering only!
Just ran across this. You got my attention! I really want to build a half VW engine for my Buccaneer and will study the link. Have you updated the sales or plans? Also, which set of plans or kit did you use for the conversion?
seen many run without prop just a weighted plate on the flywheel bolts dont need a prop, and use a drill to start it . you dont need a prop on it to test it, and you can put a crank bolt and use a drill to start it = way safer.
been around planes 40 years it doesnt mean jack %et# if your doing it wrong and dangerously to test and have 50 years, time to relearn its that simple.
Lots of automotive rodders are building various homebrew EFI/ ignition so I get this but the question is, DO YOU really want something powering an airplane with experimental ignition system such as this? I doubt? it is redundant? (Dual ignition?)
exactly. better than that been around planes 40 years, seen many run without prop just a weighted plate on the flywheel bolts dont need a prop to test , and use a drill to start it . you dont need a prop on it to test the bloody machine , and you can put a crank bolt and use a drill to start it = way safer.
Hallo Ich baue einen Legal Eagel XL und brauche genau so einen Motoer! Wer hat die Zylinderköpfe für den 1/2 VW Motor gefertigt? Viele Grüße aus Hameln
@@dischn2 vielen Dank für die Nachricht! Ich wollte ,wenn du das nicht selbst umgebaut hast, mir einen Hummel Moter bestellen. Oder verkaufst du deinen.,
shooo. dangerous. that prop is totally invisible at speed. paint the prop tips silver or dayglow yellow so you can see it to prevent a horrible accident
Very very nice! Looking forward to seeing it run again on a more stable stand!

Now you need a plane for it, that's some crazy power there.

Amazing machine! Which propeller are you using?
Runs great. Well done 👍

Dischn2: Can you share information on your ignition system?
Hi Mike, here is a short overview of the ignition system: dirkschneider.de/ignition_20180227.pdf
dischn2 Is the system ready for sale?
@@dischn2 thank you for sharing this, theres not much out there on home brew ignition systems, so this is a treat
Would putting ignition timing after TDC during the hand cranking phase help starting the engine?
It would be idiotic not too. Would make hand proping much safer.
you dont need a prop on it to test it, and you can put a crank bolt and use a drill to start it = it way safe.
Yes. Magnetos retard the timing to After TDC at low rpm.
Sounds great!
beautiful engine! but holy moses please paint the prop tips to avoid injury

Why can't I live next door to someone like this?
I'm guessing it's fan cooled?
Sounds amazing
Hyy sir how to buy propeller
Please tell me about propeller price and dimension
OK le moteur il tourne bien mais il n'a pas déplacé pourquoi il donne pas une propulsion ou coit

Hallo Andreas, der Motor wurde ursprünglich mal von HummelEngines, Scott Casler gefertigt, ich habe ihn danach umgebaut.
@@dischn2 vielen Dank für die Nachricht! Ich wollte ,wenn du das nicht selbst umgebaut hast, mir einen Hummel Moter bestellen. Oder verkaufst du deinen.,
Looks great iam interested in this being a replacement for a 503. Hp wt would be helpful
Probably 40hp and 110lbs
Great job but you sure have a lot of faith that you have that thing strapped down OK
Excelent !!!!
Wow very nice
