DINGO TUTORIAL | ASSEMBLY

DINGO is every enthusiastic aviator's dream come true.

Follow us on:

[pilot]

Thank's for not having glitzy music. Very straight forward build.

[hud]

Former ultralight pilot and now aircraft mechanic. We drill, deburr, then rivet in GA and airlines, prevents holes from producing cracks under vibration

[animted]

Beautiful little biplane. It seems that anyone with rudimentary mechanical skills could build a Dingo.

[devinmcgovern-jgks]

I may not fly or have flown a plane. But I would absolutely love to build these for a living.

[ericbitzer]

Sweet build and a beautiful little aircraft! I want one so bad, but right now I have an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa and legally blind. Even my driving days have been over for almost 20 years. Every year I go to Wills Eye hospital and the doctor says the technology is getting better and maybe next year. Hopefully this will be the year they can fix this! My dad took me up in Piper Cherokees when I was little and I love love love flying! I definitely will be looking into this when my eyes are fixed. Biplanes are just so cool too. Got my fingers crossed.

[humnpwr]

That is a nice little airplane. It is a replica of the Wing Ding from the 70’s.

[electricmanist]

Clearly a well thought out engineering project Well done. !

[JimPfarr]

I am a bit concerned that none of the holes were deburred. It's an ultralight and not prone to heavy stresses, but come on those holes need to be cleaned up to reduce stress cracks and wear.

[ВладимирБутенко-хч]

Самому собирать в кайф не говоря о том что летать. Браво.

[gregedwards]

Excellent/ Orchestrated assembly; but the aft wing mount bolt should be foreword/ head fwd, and Should have wing gap seal added to upper side of upper wing and bottom of lower wing. Very Kool, reminds me of wood wing ding from the 70s!.

[sirclarkmarz]

This is such a cool airplane design I wish I had the finances and space to build this but I will definitely be building a scale RC version .

[gordonloughton]

A bi-plane flies really well, I flew an ag cat and it felt wonderful, very different to a mono-plane.

[LtBRS]

Didn't use a drill stop for those shallow T.E. holes. Concerned about drill starts into the inside lower surface of the red trailing edge.

[timdwyer]

Don’t get the too long bolts with a stack of washers. Seems like after the second plane, they would know what length bolts to buy. Just looks careless, probably doesn’t matter. Nice parts in any case.

[flutetubamorg]

This plane looks cool, but the lockwire technique?

[rjhinnj]

Looks like a very well engineered ultra light. Is it in part 103 category? Available in USA? The wing struts seem like the forgotten part of the clean build/engineering of this craft; at least need some streamlining. Has this craft been tested structurally and flight tested through full envelope? Specs available? This is obviously a more sophisticated Whing Ding build.

[donindri]

In the Future I would hope you would be clever enough to limit your close up shots, zoom out, and do a voice over to explain what you are doing step by step. That would make it a good video!

[joewoodchuck]

Is the rudder and wing covering similar in any way to model airplane monokote? Thicker I'm sure.

[Patshes]

Excellent build! I thought biplanes were done with after WWII because of the extra drag and weight of the bottom wing.

[scottyreeves]

Looks nice... but your building techniques are very sketchy.
I only saw you use 1 castle nut with a cotter pin, all the other nuts were nylon. And no other cotter pins anywhere. All of the nuts should have been castle's with cotter pins.
The only safety wire you used on the horizontal stab attachment bolt, you wired on the wrong side of the bolt head
Causing the bolt to get loose, not tighten the way its supposed to.
Other than that, it's a great looking aircraft
