This is part 4 of 4, in a multi part video of me installing an upgraded fuel tank to a 17 US Gallon capacity. In this final episode, I take you through the plumbing, wiring, and show you the extra sensors and toys I've added to the fuel system. Follow along as I rebuild, repair, and upgrade a Challenger 2 ultralight airplane. Ultimately I will be flying this airplane into the north country of Canada, on fishing and camping trips, as soon as she is ready to fly.

I built a battery tray under the rear seat, and located the charge controller and start relay there too. Seemed like the right thing to do. This video is pieced together from different days, so it may not seem as polished and professional as all of you have come accustomed to seeing. (ya....right!)

I'm not the first, and I will not be the last. But I think my glass panel in my Challenger 2 Ultralight Airplane is special for a whole lot of reasons. One being that I designed and built some of the electronics in it. You get to see it all lite up and working. It's 99% finished...with 99% left to do.

Shop owners have had enough, and teach a robber a lesson he will never forget.

This is part 2 of installing a linear actuator to control my flaperons. It's a combination of video filmed in January, May, and July. In an attempt to piece together how and what I did. Because I lost hours of footage when memory cards I purchased failed. (Never Buy Bargain Memory Cards from Amazon!)

Glass panel in a Ultralight Airplane? Seriously! You bet!! Follow along as I rebuild and modify my Challenger 2 Ultralite Airplane. The ultimate goal is to venture into the back country in Northern Canada. Camping, Fishing and exploring. Hope you can follow along with the adventure. #Challenger #Flying #Experimental #Airplane #Aircraft #Aviation #Ultralight

The throttle and choke cables were so poorly routed, I felt they were a hazard. So I fixed them. Follow along as I repair and rebuild a Challenger 2 Ultralight Airplane. Ultimately with the aim of flying it out to the back country, as it's equipped with a set of Amphibious Floats! #Flying #Experimental #Airplane #Aircraft #Aviation #Ultralight

This is an update video for now, discussing what has been done, and will be done. How crazy I am? Next one will have wrench turning, promise.

I start digging into my new airplane, and find some truly frightening things. Follow along as I rebuild and upgrade a Challenger 2 ultralight,

I bought an airplane, that needs some work. Now all I need to do is get a pilots license! Follow along as I rebuild and upgrade a Challenger 2 ultralight.
