Hangar Flying / any longs for sale?
« on: February 21, 2007, 03:55:25 PM »
Until the classifieds come back up, would it be appropriate to post A/C for sale right here?
I'm looking for a light, straight longez. 0-235 is fine, even preferable. What do you have?

Hangar Flying / If you were building it again...

Understood,
But if I wanted to rock and roll I would get an RV. I have flown a heavy 0-235 on a hot day. It's the same as a maxed out 747 out of Hong Kong. (done both) Or a 65 hp Champ with two butts and a full bag during the summer. Long take off rolls and slow climbs until you get the speed up. Two different missions, two different animals. When flying the RV, I didn't need to do much planning. Power and performance were good. I don't think it could fly as far as a Long ez though. I'm interested in the Longez for how far it can go, comfortably, on as little fuel as possible. BTW, the 0-235 with one guy and twelve gallons did pretty well for itself.
Thanks for the input.
Dennis
O man a slick wing A-4 on a cold day and not much fuel is a nice lil rocket. Even a Herc with 20,000 lbs of fuel, no payload, and on a cold day is pretty damn fun to takeoff with.
Now a freaking Long with a full bag, taking off from West Texas on a hot day with an O-235 mouse motor isn't real fun and headed towards the Rockies.

Hangar Flying / What's your range?
« on: March 05, 2006, 03:57:29 PM »
Looking for realistic longez range numbers. 0-235 vs 0-320. (standard tanks)
I've been polling long ez pilots about the big engine vs the small one. My impression is, with the 0-320 range goes down and glide speed goes way up.

Good luck and do the O320. Have you ever flown an aircraft with too much power?[/quote]
This is a trick question....right? <BG>
Thanks Amigo.

Folks,
I'm new here, but a long time fan of the A/C. I'm finally ready to start building. (I've had plans for longer than I'll admit) Heres the question. O-320 or O-235? I'd like the power but not at the expense of range. I want the range, but not if I need to fly from a 12,000 foot strip. I don't plan of lots of "gadgets". Just basics. I've been flying a pals O-235 version lately, and love it. Just how much extra weight are we talking about with the bigger engine? (assume no vac sys, B+C starter and alt, you know....LIGHT) Lay your corporate wisdom on me...
Thanks
