I've built three EZ's but the last one was completed in '89 so my memory is foggy. There is no problem with the slightly wider dimension across the longerons and I would accept what you have and modify F28 and location of the canard tabs for the pins. You may have some compromises on the canopy outer mold line near the fwd corners with the wider longerons. Make sure you retain appropriate edge distance from the pin center line to the outer mold line - the pins only take the control input reactions; primarily pitch but also roll.

You are 100% correct, but I've removed the spring from the NG shock strut and tested TO distance/speed with the canard at a negative AOA and it didn't make much difference - 100 to 150' delta at mid-weights.
The only variable on a given airframe/engine combination that really impacts TO distance and Vr is water on the (GU) canard, high density altitude, and high gross weights.

Not very critical. I moved the MG forward 1" from plans on 8EZ and 1" aft from plans on 26EZ, and irrespective of angle of attack on the ground the TO ground roll and rotation speeds are similar.

Exactly. Having built N26EZ (IO-360 B1E) with my dad it was evident N888EZ (O-320 D3G) was the right choice. I've built, owned and flown EZ's with O-235, O-320 and IO-360 power... sold the newer, IO-360 bird and kept the O-320 powered EZ.

I too am not a fan of the O-235. I flew my Long about 700 hours with a factory new L2C and finally gave up and installed the "right" engine. The solid lifters, exhaust valves, and reduced cooling fin area on the heads don't play nice on an updraft pusher.

Excellent - there's an REI nearby. Are the barrel inner cable ends the same as the Brock quadrant?

I think the Alcor TruFlow system is great; sadly out of production but they use a std FloScan sender and used Truflows show up all the time in Avionics shop's classifieds.

Hangar Flying / Source for Cables for Brock Quadrant?
« on: January 07, 2013, 05:59:30 PM »
After 29+ years and nearly 3,000 hours of mostly trouble-free flying I need to replace the mixture control cable. I've tried to track down a source for the cables including talking to Melvill. Any one know of a source for these cables? Inner cable needed but inner and housing would be even better!
I'm sure I will hear advice about getting rid of the Brock stuff and installing Cablecraft push-pulls but my Long has an intricate system with throttle and mixture controls in the rear seat, and I really don't want to pull all that system down - especially since it has worked flawlessly.
Thanks
