Fantastic video. I liked the music. I love building airplanes but I don't think I could do a composite. Rag and tube is more my kind of thing. I really appreciate the time you put into both your airplane and the video. It is nice to be able to see what other guys are building. Helps me keep going on my project.
Love your video! I'm still in the dream phase. I'm not mechanically inclined and have never built anything before but I still dream to build my own kit plane (probably an RV-14). I have a Piper Cherokee that I'm enjoying in the mean time (and a 737 at work). I'm really enjoying all these videos from experimental aircraft owners!
Hey, whats a good plane for a first build? Me and my dad are looking into buying one. Where both working into getting our pilot license, and we want our first plane to be a home built one
Yes, the skins are premolded with vinylester. There wasn't any signs of cracks in the skins or superstructure when I sold it last year after 20 years and 1400 hours of flying.
So, Ted, the music was bad, what about the rest of the video? By the way, have you ever created a video? I didn't find any on your TH-cam page. Don't have the ability?
ITS great to see this vid it is very informative thank you so much I am in the process of getting my PPL & CPL & MEIR & IFR. so you have made me really jelous ; ) Thanks so much I didnt know how the composite was made so that is really intresting!!!!
What you need to know about building your own airplane can be summed up in a few words: insanely labor intensive; very super expensive; massively steep learning curve; and flying is inherently dangerous.
not an obvious connection; communist countries tend not to have home building activity. In Cuba, the Worker's Paradise, you can't even own a boat. Many innovations have come from private parties, like Wittman's landing gear patent (subsequently purchased by Cessna) to SpaceShip One. The US has a strong tradition of free enterprise/experimentation. Volunteering in EAA is a great way to support those freedoms.

thanx x 10 to the power 1 million, this type of videos are very rare.
music too loud - no fun to listen too and then turning it up to hear you talk - leave music off.

Youre an inspiaration to all of us aviation nerds!
Great video Bill. Wish you would change the title so more people find it and view it. Take care.
it is a dream of all to fly.u have done a great job and also u have a great attitude to show us...respect you .......sir
Do the plans spec vinylester? Its good stuff and fine for boats, but for a plane I don't think I'd use anything other than epoxy.
I am not very much qualified person but I found this making the plane and its purely electric without petrol. very good and nice
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to put it together! (the video and the plane!)
i have always had it in mind to design and build simple aircraft.Can you guide me on that,sir?
This is an excellent project CONGRATULATIONS Bill
How to make sir I have much desire please tell me sir
@pope007 - Great aircraft. Which one are you planing to build - the 701, 750, 801 or Zodiac. Should be a fun propject.
Hey, whats a good plane for a first build? Me and my dad are looking into buying one. Where both working into getting our pilot license, and we want our first plane to be a home built one
wohao!!! five stars! how much it weights and how much hp have the engine?
The fuselage, wing, vertical stabilizer and all control surfaces are constructed of fiberglass.
hello sir, can you share the designs and plans of your aircraft :)
Yes, the skins are premolded with vinylester. There wasn't any signs of cracks in the skins or superstructure when I sold it last year after 20 years and 1400 hours of flying.
does the fuselage are all made of fiber glass? or with aluminum? or something?
thank you bill nice build well done
what a beautiful aircraft!
Great vid but the sound is just annoying!
How much did the entire build cost?
So, Ted, the music was bad, what about the rest of the video? By the way, have you ever created a video? I didn't find any on your TH-cam page. Don't have the ability?
Great Vido of an perfect building job!
I think I'll skip part two. the music is just too much to handle
Is that Lewis a Jackson Air field?
ITS great to see this vid it is very informative thank you so much I am in the process of getting my PPL & CPL & MEIR & IFR. so you have made me really jelous ; )
Thanks so much I didnt know how the composite was made so that is really intresting!!!!
Looks like quite horizontal usage of this car engine.
my dream to make a aircraft..but how?
Wow , you have 44 dislikes ! Could the irritating music in the back ground have anything to do with that ?
@pilotbill9929 how many seats do they come in
amazing work
thanks for sharing
@pilotbill9929 is it possible to change the engine to jet engine?
Its a lance air?
Glasair
I think this video is about an aeroplane.
No, it's "Dayton Wright Brothers Airport" south of Dayton, Ohio
I had $80,000 in it when it was completed in 1988. I flew it for 20 years.
Do you stop flying it because it was scrap or because you're selling it?
Hello Bill, did you ever meet Father Marc Tillia?
Respect, Sir.
@lexichronicle it was on junk yard wars ,i seen that one it was cool
ifr-retractable gear? i dunno if i trust that in a 16k dollar plane lol
From which company you brought the Aircraft kit, whether kit includes Engine,all major parts? How much it cost including Engine and other parts Sir?
yeah i really dont want to watch this anymore its pretty much a documentry of him buying a plane
Seven and a half gallons of 100 octane fuel per hour at 12,000 feet.
This video was made 2 months after I was born
Thank you
thanks for sharing man
@lexichronicle Haha we flew before lol and my uncle has his pilot license we know how to fly and everything lol but good looking out!
why dont you show to bulid step by step and this music is so annoying
Excellent ..
ชอบมากครับ
The Glasair RG only has 2 seats.
What you need to know about building your own airplane can be summed up in a few words: insanely labor intensive; very super expensive; massively steep learning curve; and flying is inherently dangerous.
Wait... are we talking about an advanced fighter jet, or a very modest, low speed homebuilt plane?
Nevermnd. Just noticed, this specific plane is a rich person's toy.
Music is terrible and very loud !!!! takes away from the video....
how can someone be bothered i get mad and mental building rc plane hahaha
leav the music...fantastic

Love you to I Am vilong a Punjab
Bill, why are you advertising some porno under this video?!!!
Music ruined the video, had to stop watching. Don't you edit before posting?

My dream
It's the 'Flight of the bumble bee" and not so lame really, but I know what you mean. Irritating and unnecessary. Lift music would be better.
Why do so many people add that lame music to their video's on you tube? it's the bane of this site. So irritating.
Glasair III builder.
Bad music man
