A few days ago, a blogger posted a video saying,I modified the Honda Civic 1.5T engine by myself, using stainless steel pipes, hand pliers, angle grinders and other materials. I spent 10 days hand-rubbing an airplane, and successfully took to the sky in one test flight.In the video shared by the blogger, the aircraft has a power rotor at the tail and a lift rotor at the top, allowing it to take off and land quickly on cement pavement.
According to the blogger, the power unit of the aircraft is a Honda Civic 1.5T engine. After modification for racing, it has more than 300 horsepower, and can reach a maximum of 450 horsepower. For those who play airplanes, 270 horsepower is enough. Some people have gone through 600 hours of test flights without any problems.
For the engine's reduction gearbox, after several years of experiments by machine friends, they found that this gear must be forged, so they used forging blanks to make the gears and then ground the teeth.
He removed the engine water pump and installed a 120W electronic water pump. The water flow rate is very large and the effect is very good.
The most expensive modification parts are the timing chain cover, and the others only cost a few bucks.The engine costs tens of thousands of yuan, and the ECU circuit of the main engine is expensive, probably more than 20,000 yuan.
Because of the high speed of the aircraft, the brakes on the three takeoff and landing wheels are reinforced and have a dual-piston braking system.
The aircraft's fuselage frame is welded by him with stainless steel tubes. The overall structure is light and strong and durable. Although it is not as good as aluminum alloy and carbon fiber, the price advantage is too great.
The blogger's actual test flew,After the aircraft increases its power on the ground, it can quickly reach take-off speed and then take off into the air.
