I'd bet that thing would fly ZERO issues as it sits (with obviously the fuel line repair and an inspection for major damage or unkept issues) but man that thing looks like it was built proper. Definitely a handful to fly especially when it's windy but wow that thing will be a blast!!

[danacoyle]

I think it would be really great if you finished at least one project out of the multiple ones that you have still going on and never return to show a video of you finishing it

[ryanmurphy]

That little bottle is for the rotary valve not for the fuel. That a rotax 582. Now I didn’t see the oil bottle for oil injection. So I would definitely pre-mix. Now on my 582 I do a leak down test. Same as a lycoming. Those main seals are good for 5 years or 150hrs. I would do your homework on these rotax’s. And your fuel burn is going to be closer to 5 gal an hour.

As a old, and I mean old, like 77, 2 stroke motorcycle rider/ mechanic, I just loved your explanation of the colour of the spark plug electrodes re leanness/richness!
Thank you mate from Australia.

[AceBriggs]

Oh the beautiful simplicity of 2 stroke engines… a little tlc here and there and they’re so easy and fun to work with/on.

[Kitfoxj]

It's super important to find someone with Kitfox time to teach you to fly this. They are a blast to fly but can be a real handful.

[bowsergunner]

Less stress and loads of fun! You look so relaxed and happy sitting in that cockpit! You deserve some downtime! Enjoy it in Utah! Great idea!

[tomrc]

The Rotax 532 had single ignition, your motor has dual which indicates it's a 582. That little oil reservior is for the rotary valve only, and should be kept full, the engine doesn't have an oil injection pump and is PRE-MIX only. You add oil to the gas. 50:1.

What I would give to be able to learn to fly. None of the schools around Spokane teach the Sportsman certification. Being a retired Navy veteran I can’t afford $11.000. I am going to live vicariously through your videos. Thank you for the videos you put out. May God Bless you.

This is a really cool plane! It would be exciting to see it flying! Happy saturday, everyone! 🙌🏼

[sushirunner]

What about doing a video with quick status updates of all the various projects that are currently ongoing?

[kristenkylemack]

Cute plane. It looks better with the engine covers on it! I have read lots of comments. Lots of good knowledgeable advice.

[mattbasford]

Jason finally says "fuselage" correctly but still struggles with "radiator"

[vinceburling]

It’s a 532, with a 582 head. So a dual ignition system can be added. The 532 had points ignition only firing one plug on each cylinder. The other ignition is 12 volt and not Rotax.
It’s a rotary valve engine so the oil bottle is to lubricant the valve shaft that drives 90 degrees to crankshaft. It’s a 50:1 oil mix. The gear box which is the B box. Like all Rotax gearboxes can be mounted either way up as can the engine. That’s why there is two level plugs. Id suggest you mix the oil to the fuel if you want it to run any longer. Also the 532 had a weak crankshaft. Id replace that engine with a late blue head 582.

[scottieswave]

Lots of fun to fly indeed! Tail draggers, need I say more? Whew, a whole different ball game. My first flight back in the air after my motorcycle accident was with a friend in hit kit fox. Lovely aircraft!

[battz]

Jason, that doesn't have oil injection. That little reservoir is for the butterfly valves and must be kept topped up with normal 2-stroke oil. You run the engine on 50:1 premix. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. If you put straight 100LL or mogas in that tank you were running that lovely engine without oil. BTW that's a Rotax 532, out of production for many years and parts are increasingly difficult to get hold of. If you seize it it'll be a brick.

[AMSRocker]

Every time I see "EXPERIMENTAL" on the door I want to print off a decal and put it right below it that says "So Let's Experiment!"
Well done! I really enjoy your videos!

[greggsvintageworkshop]

Looks like a great little plane. It fired right up!

[dgmills]

That was sweet to fire up so easily! Best Wishes for all of your endeavors Jason! 🛩️

[handy_kc]

What a fun little plane! That was super exciting when it fired up. My best guess on the prop is its toast. If the finish is cracking that usually means there is an issue with the wood. That's probably not a major setback. Good luck! Can't wait to see this in the air.
