Hangar Flying / Varieze aileron addendum
« on: March 04, 2005, 11:38:51 AM »
does anyone have the VE aileron addendum? I will pay a resonable fee for a copy of it. I have a licensed set of plans. I only need it for recordkeeping purposes, to make sure there isn't anything I have missed, and to balance the aileron's.

Also, I am looking for an alternator that will fit on the vacum pump pad of an O-235. I would rather buy a used one than pay for a new one.

While you are telling us about the Ellison why not include some comments on the Aerocarb TBI as well.

Thanks.

Why are you gettng rid of the TBI? Ihave been thinking  of using an Aerocoversions TBI on my O-235? is something wrong with it or does it not work well on a VE?

Hangar Flying / weight
« on: February 16, 2005, 03:39:58 PM »
How much should a Varieze wing weigh. filled, contoured, sanded with Winglet, rudder, and aileron. Any standard? Any rule of thumb?

Thanks again.

Hangar Flying / Varieze cowling fitting
« on: February 15, 2005, 09:26:32 AM »
I am fitting the cowling to my Varieze. My question involve the P-51 scoop. How should I seal the the point where the to edge of the scoop meets the fuselage?  It looks like there is going to be leakage into the cowling unless I can come up with a suitable seal. Am I missing something?

The flanges come down the sides of the fuselage and the scoop is just held against the bottom.

Thanks in advance. Tell me if I am not being clear,  I will try to explain better.

Hangar Flying / baggage pods
« on: February 10, 2005, 09:21:21 AM »
I have seen several Varieze's with baggage pods. Without getting into a discussion of weight etc. are these the same pods that a Longeze uses or are they designed just for a Varieze?

Does anyone have a good source for Tempurpedic foam or a suitable substitute? Also, any advice on seats will be greatlly appreciated.

Believe it or not I have a set of the original Varieze seats along wit the suitcases that have never been used, but they just aren't cutting the mustard.

Thanks in advance

Hangar Flying / as always thanks but....

does this mean that I should use just any 'ol extension spring that fits and works or does anyone have a suggestion. It is obvious that the CS part number won't work.

thanks again

and, by the way,  I AM using the Brock bracket. I appreciate the advice on how to attach the spring. I had read about it but had forgotton. This might have saved me some serious embarrassment.

Hangar Flying / springs
« on: January 19, 2005, 04:24:20 PM »
on page 37 of the VE O-235 engine installation plans in paragraph 3 springs are mentioned to return the mixture and throttle controls. What size springs do I use. the only numbers I can find are C161 and Century Springs says that those are compression springs. these should be extension springs.

thanks in advance.

Hangar Flying / Great American prop 58X70

Hangar Flying / Some advice on propellers please
« on: December 29, 2004, 10:34:47 AM »
You guys have been great and I appreciate all the help.  My VE is coming along nicley. With a little luck I will have a 30th anniversary edition at Osh Kosh or Rough River or both.

I have a Great American prop and the old aluminum spinner. My first inclination is to get the plane in the air with these and change them later if I want to. But on the other hand it won't take very long to order a new prop and composite spinner.. after all it's only money.

Anybody have any advice on what i should get if I change? 2 blade? three blade? what manufacturer. Will I get any weight advantage to speak of by going to something new? etc. etc etc.
