RV10 - Build Section 37 Fuel System - Video 54 - Subscribe to Pilot Rhino
I am basically running a fully custom fuel system. Because I am using a Electronic Fuel Injection, we need a fuel return system, that requires a different pump and fuel selector which basically throws the entire vans plan out the window.

This is the Cheapest Hangar ever Built! - Subscribe to Jonas Marcinko
Tony shows me the cheapest Hangar ever built, which he built for under $500.00. He used recycled material. 3 Harbor Freight carports and some Old billboards for the covering.

Van's RV-12 Build: Rotax clean-up, fuel tank troubles - Subscribe to EAA166 Hartford, Connecticut
As the RV-12 project moves closer to the ground-running phase, it's time to take a closer look at the Rotax 912 ULS engine installation and do some preventive clean up. Work continues on the lower engine cowling, the canopy frame, plus the team gets creative in fixing an unexpected snag with the fuel tank plumbing. Project lead Rick Montero talks it through in this build update video.

How to Actually Afford an Airplane - Subscribe to FloridaFlying
Many videos and articles about affordable airplanes have gotten it wrong. If you want to save the most amount of money when owning your own airplane, this is how you do it. Certified airplanes like the Cessna 150 and 172 might be cheap in the beginning, but the cost quickly adds up.
