All right. It actually says here that he is from Montana but is currently stationed in Georgia So by that language, I'm guessing he's military because I saw the order went to Georgia but maybe he's working because he probably can't answer his phone if he's working. He just got his phone broken by the sarge. Yeah, so might be a minute before he calls back.

Oh really, how you doing C All right guys, you ready for this? Yeah we got see an aane got an airplane. pretty cool looking. right streamline looking, very streamline looking. it is.
Yeah, that's just Wa and it's black I mean just wait there's more it's got LS I already know it's got a turbo ah H LS Fest she's got an LS little. This is what I would see Jack stand owning if he had a PL all blacked out L with an LS big experimental sticker down the side. Everyone knows Buil this myself. Yeah, massive experimental sticker for Jackon.
A lot of pitch in here. Wow. I mean don't matter when you got a LS just looking a lot of pitch on these blades. Dude, is there a gear reduction box? There is.
Yeah. What's Do you know the ratio on it's 1.54 to1. Okay, they're lower in the speed of the prop? You? sure? Yeah, cuzzs probably. What? What's your Peak RPM on 4200 which puts the propeller at 27 is 100 and then like so based off the length, that's the fastest the propeller can spin.
You're not even opening that thing up. dude. what's up? The Ls is like let me breathe at 4200 that's what. uh what? Matt that's what he was saying last night too.
Oh dude 200 that's like I was trying to be more reliable. So in my head I was like, well since it's constantly at that power. if I if I bring it down then it'll be super reliable. but he basically was telling me that that was not true he may like H that's what he was saying too.
I bet 6,000 RPM I mean not for Cruis not for Cruis 6,000 though for Peak poles. yeah, it would be riping. You should let me Port the head on. We should definitely not have one of these. What do we got here? Dual Ey iPad Avionics dual iPad avionics right? dude. What a unit. So clean. Got the baringer wheels on there I Saw that? Yeah we got the same Wheels this thing climbs really fast.
takes a little bit longer to get off the ground but climbs. Was thinking yeah I can't wait to hear it. You know, like can you put a huge cam in one of these and like while you're taxiing? that would be so cool torque or RV cams you know, real mid low range Power yeah, Is it a stock cam? Do you know it's yeah. The motor is completely stock with the exception of this 100 low Leed Tune okay and it's an LS1 LS1 it's like a early early LS crate motor.
Wait, it's had the LS1 since 2003. Correct? Yeah, a C5 or something old C5 Exactly Yeah and then it. it has the uh, the Corvette oil pan on there as well. stock computer.
Yeah. Corvette Okay wow dude, that's imagine James had a plane like this you guys I put a 100 shot on it. Going to try it out today. see see a piston go flying down George get fist and it's coming in hot There it is barely fitting in that engine bed.
Oh my. God You can say that again at that. This is the first generation of of Ls Look at the Val 2003 he got a crate motor. Dude see the valve cover.
This is a OG unit. Right here really is Holy SM So much power on the table to be had. There's a lot of power to be had in this thing only they had E85 at the airport. Look dude, it's like straight up Corvette drive on the front of that.
That is crazy. The AC off it it used to have. oh it did have air conditioning. uh but we took it off.
It saved like 70 lb. Hear this thing body Dra K on is that what it is? It's got to be pretty dang loud. Honestly you you fire it up I Just want to hear it from out here. Where is the Ex? It's right.

what a unit! What a r l SW play. This is the last thing we got. be the last thing you know what? I got an idea. Wheels and tires look so small no has an LS in it I Love how you pull the cing off.
The engine is right under that c. It takes the entire engine. Everything's shaped and cut down perfectly to fit underneath the. Cali Let swap the plane dude I mean easy to get parts for you, break down, you just go to your nearest jump.

Yeah, all caps are real big on the outside of the plane. This is what you get Capital Mental. They're literally making an experiment. You know what? I'm saying Yeah yeah, it's definitely new.
He's like I Just built this panel myself. Yeah I know iPad it's clean is crazy. It's clean. Look at that thing dude.
she SS perect Yeah she does got good air for this today. You know she has no problem spinning up. Wow dude, that's straight up Corvette of the Skies right there. Yeah I Can't wait to hear him just single turbo put a whimple on that thing wh that flies off, flip backwards trying to take off.

Listen: oh oh are you kidding me, it's a Corvette of the Skies dude that sounds. it's literally a Corvette dude it sounds like a it sounds like a dang open headed truck driving by dud look I didn't know if you'd be able to tell the difference totally from just any other plane. it sound listen dude yeah I mean sounds like a car driving. it sounds like yeah if you had like an interstate near you and there's like a pickup truck with exhaust George had his exhaust office truck.
this is interesting. Yeah it is. It's going to sound good I Know that. oh he ripping it dude.
dude it sounds so good it's crazy. The motor L sounds like Corvette it sounds so good. sounds like a Corvette riing by. If you weren't looking at it as it flew by, you would think a car just d% Oh yeah oh this is amazing. This is incredible. Dude sounds so good. sounds awesome. Imagine a a nice Na intake cam.
imagine if you did like the old cam a head cam package but like Na build Nitro Nitro Furn of Nitro with a fast nit. Oh just straight jet. take the jet out straight nozzle that R it would sound so good. Yeah that's awesome if that was mine I probably put a flow master on it.
throw a supercharger on it has a A on it, throws a belt as he by gets tangled up I got to do an emergency landing Chuck the belt. You know what that thing needs. Big old cam shaft that 8 to one collector. yeah that could hit that could hit right out the bottom George I chucked the belly coming in.
lost my horse Torx oh here roing the gas b ball dude I Feel like it feels like you're on the interstate and you just get blown by by a Corvette you know, like just Cruis some punk kid in his Grandpa's 98 base model top down Spears That's unreal. Listen to that thing dude. God Unbelievable sight. Gosh dang I Love America I Just love it.
flats for now. man, come on. Butter her on. Butter her on clean.
That was nice I Like these guys? Oh yeah, yeah, that was buttery. Really enjoyed watching. Not sure how much I would have enjoyed riding in that thing I Mean it has to be fun I mean it's a ripper for sure. You just hear that V8 rumbling right in front of you the whole time.
A problem. dude. if I'm in there and I hear an LS just, you're just going to over Revit every time. Dude, it looks so cool.
What an airplane! You can say that again. don't got to take no special airplane precautions. It's just a good old Corvette motor. It's like dude, it's got an LS in it I mean what could go wrong? Nothing.
literally. nothing sounds so great. Was it it sound? Oh it was great. It's it's awesome.
It sounds like you're getting passed by a Corvette on the highway. Thanks so much for bringing it by! Budd What a cool experience to see. Yeah, it's fun. Hey guys, don't forget Christmas Tree drags again tomorrow! 4:30 It's going to be some liveaction freedomplus.com You.
Please research auto engines in airplanes. It is not as simple as throwing one on a plane and hoping all is well. They are fraught with issues that must be overcome. Love how it sounds, would never fly it. Stay safe!
I can definitely hear Matt saying "DON'T TELL MERE" right after building a runway at the property.
Hell yeah brother! Fire me up!! Solidify my unit dude!!! Need a wheelie shot for the Instagram page🇺🇲
Imagine the power with a built engine n huge charger 😂
I’m surprised you can legally fly this without a redundant spark system. Pretty much all aviation motors run 2 spark plugs per cylinder.
I’m guessing that’s why it’s registered as experimental.
Is it dry sumped?
I actually said "Oh that sounds so good!" right before bro did.
If they had the LS back in the 40's we'd have won the war in half the time baby!!
Around $1300.monthly with $10,000 down. Using 9.99% interest over 84 months
What top speed and what’s cruising speed ?
Wonder how fast the plane goes lol
Not one of you guys went up!!!??? How disappointing
Flying on E85 lol
They have a large lineup of auto cross over engines.
