My Home Depot Project Airplane
Loading...
Uploaded by luvchoclabs on Jan 7, 2011
Showing some of the Home Depot projects done around my home including the beginning of a more ambitious project a real airplane. When complete the wingspan will be approx. 18 ft. Fuselage 14 ft. Power-plant will be 20-25 HP Briggs & Stratton. I intend to build it so that it is cheap to operate or repair. So far all materials have come from Home Depot.

It's already too heavy for 20hp. Steel and plywood aren't going to do it. Your wasting your money and time.
-
Good luck to you on your project. Please test fly in a remote area because I don't want to see innocent bystanders getting killed when you crash.

I honor you, my friend

@steelguitarplayer1 - I am a licensed A&P, licensed flight instructor, licensed aircraft inspector, and University Degreed Physicist. I have built real aircraft. There is aircraft grade plywood, and it IS DIFFERENT.

Dude...your gonna die...Stick to "Heavy Duty Shelves".... Worst thing that can happen there is they fall over.... seriously....
-
cover it with a heavy tarp and some of that good gorilla glue. and some cement and rebar. don't worry about weight.
-
jack that plane up, dig a hole and glide it in. then cover gently. dont look back.
-
this thing will collapse 25 feet off the runway,, so it is a joke and needs to be put in the archives of youtube fun,,,,,,so dont take seriously any of the aircraft parts of this video, unless you have a serious death wish, and loooooots of free time!

If you fly this, you will add "Home Depot Coffin" to your accomplishments. Unfortunately, plywood (particularly home depot plywood) is NOT an acceptable spar material. Also, joints in plywood spars cannot be made with sheet metal screw and gusset plates. I love a lot of your design creativity - but check with an EAA technical counselor or an A&P mechanic before you try and fly. Home depot aluminum won't work, either, as it is 1100, and good aircraft are made from 6061 T6 or 2024 T3.
