Highlander Build #6- Reinforcing the Wingtip Ribs
Don’t know about American tics but the European once are not nearly the size of the bugs you showed 😂😂… A tic is firstly not an insect, count the legs, tics has 8 not 6
Very cool 😎
Just run it until it blows, you trailered it there, what are you worried about
Congrats Steve...great coverage Sara. Beutiful airshow.
Liking the look of (my) Tundra tailwheel. It's now approved per far 21.303!
First time I watched one of your videos (thanks to Juan Brown's repost!), and I loved it! Thank you! Cheers and congrats from Toronto! 👋🏻😊
Frickin' Beautiful
Amazing Job Team Wild West Aircraft! Wish I could have been there! Yee Haww from the Hoosier!!!
Tick,Tick,Tick! 😢😮😊
Awesome job guys!
Thanks so much!
13:09 "..get Feel Gauges"...so very cute!
A few more knots headwind and it could be 0 feet.
Great stuff and a lot of love and this is therepy
Dribbling injector maybe.
Good stuff Sara! Great behind the scenes look at STOL Drag Racing! Jb
Thank you!! ☺️ Sara
Great video Sara. Your editing is so inspiring. I’m sad I missed the show. 😢 but the beast is gonna be back. 🤘🤘Reno here we come.
Thank you Jeff! 😁 We missed you bring there! -Sara
That replacement engine sounds Spicy!!!
Thank you. Yeah, those Yamaha Sidewinder engines amazingly good just stock! -Sara
Very nice production. Thanks for sharing. The sprint car race was a nice bonus.
Thanks for watching. The Sprint Cars were a nice bonus for us too! I wasn’t expecting to end up there! SO fun 😁 - Sara
Lookin' good, Sara! And Steve! After an engine swap, no less . . . well done!
Thank you! -Sara
👏👏👏👍👍👍
😁
Great video 🤙🤙 Ill be curious to hear what went awry with the 1st engine 🤔🤔
We are curious too! I will let you know when we find out in the next video. -Sara
The greatest sport ever!
🙌
👍
Thanks for the thumbs up! -Sara
Somebody tell Juan that those are forward slips, not side slips.
That engine is sick. Excellent power. Owe yahmaha 998 turbo sidewinder😊 i can get massive power out of them. I set records doing built sleds im out of wisconsin few miles from eaa wittman field area all the jsts buzz me. We pushed 600 hp out of one but to keep reliability 500 is reliable range for the builds we been doing. Check out our osp outlaw yahamaha nytro 😊😊😊 i knew you had a turbo. You want dependability too. The new sidewinder engines can put massive power. I like the apex motors 😊. All yahmmys are insane. Stick to yahmaha id go to the edge of the earth with them. If you come to eaa let me know id love to go up if able . Im a few blocks out. One stop performance really can crank some stuff up. Man i love it i was watching your vids of you cooking 😊 run em open exhaust i love it. You can get a kit that opens and closes electronically but everythings weight.¹ you would think im coo coo if you seen me tuning my sleds im out all night playing but i learned them well from it. I am asuming your using the nytro 1049cc god i love that motor but ill say the newer sidewinder motors are much more capable and lighter.different spund though . The older apexes ypu could get stupid power out of them. I dont know what your allowed but the new polaris rzr makes a four cylinder and man that can take a piss pounding and ive seen 1000hp out of them from a place i know thats really good in florida. That new four cylinder is ridiculously tuff. I am more partial to yahmaha though. But at the end of the day the rzr r 4 cylinder is just meant to take boost. Id really like to go up if you come to eaa. You know alot and seem like a gu ru . I love it. Those engines done right can really take a beating. Yamaha is my favorite ever . A billet blocks the way to go. I know guys that makem . Thumbs up all day. I dont know what your allowed to do though. I still love yahmaha im just thinking out loud. Throw me in there please if you come to eaa this yr my company does all the traffic control out there. Contact jamie at stom companies plz we are just a few miles from eaa. Thats are home.
Id love to see and help. Mmm id get some serious power out of a built engine for ya .
That planes got balls. Excellent power to weight ratio. Id love to go do aome crazy stuff. Id help work i flew some id love this. That turbo sounds nice .
Super cool take me to do crazy crap ill help work. Ill meet up sometime id love it . I have flown some too 😊
They seemed a bit fast for ticks. Also, you weren't walking in forest or long grass, so it would be weird to pick up ticks there.
No need to send extra time with the fancy production. Any true pilot or even true aviation fanatic just wants to see and hear airplanes. No music. Just airplanes and airplane noises. I know you probably get a lot more views with the fancy stuff but airplane people don't care. I know that me personally, have quit watching and following some famous u tubers because it's become too much about advertising. I want simple aviation content without all the musicians dancing. Not knocking your production Sara but if you simply stay stretched too thin trying to stay caught up, us true fans really don't need the extra work if I would save precious time. I know in my world time is money. Anyway, thank you for everything you do to share this with pilots like me that are truly inspired to do this but can't afford to come see it in person or have time to. One of these days I will. Building my own stol bird right now and working 7 days a week.
I was in an outdoor traditional archery 3-D tournament and faked brushing off a tick on my competitor and saying how bad they are here to try to get inside his head! Once you start thinking about ticks, you can suddenly feel (imagine)them crawling on you from that point on.😎
Yes! That’s what happens! Thanks for the comment-Sara
Yay! Brenda Clemens! We haven't seen you for a long time! (She's lovely). If this is a VLog, it's epic. Beautiful production Sara. Congratulations to Steve and all the competitors.
Thank you! Yes, we love Brenda. We might be doing more of these vlog style videos. 🙂 Sara
With enough headwind couldn’t take off and landing rolls be a negative number? Wonderful planes looks like a great time.
Thank you 😊 -Sara
A piece of paper is about four thousandths of an inch. Improvised feeler gauge.
Thankfully the parts store was close, but that’s a good idea! -Sara
They should make an engine swap an obligatory part of the competition , I mean this a back country inspired competition where anything can and probably will happen ,so swapping an engine out so as to make it home for tea [ or wolves come to visit ,].is a must have skill set .??. . Still wonder why they haven't got air brakes like gliders ,to slow down ,or are they not allowed ?.
Steve does have some spoilers the he can deploy that act as air brakes! They work really well. -Sara
@@SteveHenry good to know , i was a bit surprised that no one seemed to be using them , I did a little gliding ,and slowing down with no engine was oddly rather important , the air brakes really worked .[ are they allowed jtol ?? ,i'm joking Steve looks busy enough controlling that beaste as it is !!].
Congratulations, Team Henry. Thanks, Sara for another great video. I must have missed something along the way. I thought you were back in Yeehaw 7, and going to sell Yeehaw 8.
Bart Yeehaw 8 is definitely the best Highlander I’ve ever built so that is the one I like flying the most. I still have YH6 that I built in 2018 although I really should sell it. I sold YeeHaw 7 a couple years ago.
I was sitting in my living room when you started showing those ticks and it was an hour before I quit feeling them on me!!! 🤨 The power of suggestion is easy for hypochondriacs like me!!!!! 🙄🤣😂 PS I hope the engine is not hurt to bad!!!🤔
Ticks are the worst! Thank you, Steve is getting the engine to Hypersports in Wisconsin so they can take a look at it. Hopefully it’s simple! -Sara
Love the camaraderie among the aviation community. Steve, you’re a class act buddy!!! Love your dedication to Dad Sara! 🤠👍
It really is a great group of people! Thank you. I feel really fortunate to get to spend so much time with my dad. He’s awesome! -Sara
You do such an amazing job on these videos Sara. Thanks for sharing it with us. Congratulations Steve.
Thank you so much! Sara
@@SteveHenry you are very welcome
😆😅🤣 "Failure at Retirement" I love your channel name. I dont intend to retire either
Great effort
😁 thank you
Steve is a stud
😎
What HT's are you guys running? GMRS? FRS? channel # / frequency # pls. to listen?
Hey Sara, ticks don't fly, if there's trees around they like to drop in, or get on your dogs. If your walking thru tall grass and wear calf length white socks to defend yourself' easy peezy. I despise ticks too. Good job on your video work, I'm gonna build my own highlander starting next summer. Yeeha design, only she'll be named Audrey
Thank you for the tips! That’s exciting about your Highlander, congratulations -Sara
It was fun to talk to you guys in Reno last year! We will really miss Reno! 😢 I just don’t think NM is going to be the same. Maybe it will take a few years and be okay? Question: Do you prefer drags on dirt or a paved rnwy?
As far as the Racing itself, I like it equally well on pavement or grass or dirt. I do like it when we don’t have a whole bunch of dirt blowing around and everything doesn’t get all filthy like it does out in the desert.
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍❤️🙏
😁
great subject and great video editing!
Thanks so much!
Sara, for the bugs. rub down bare skin with fabric softener sheets. An old Indian taught me that when I used to flag for crop dusters! Thanks for the great Videos!
That's brilliant! I'll have to try it. 😄
Great tip!
Sara Good job !
Yes!!!
😁😁
Im amazed that people actually race planes like this
Wow!
