Hangar Flying

Work in progress - here's my first go at the panel on my Vez refurb project. Still have to add the switches, breakers, and lights then a nice finish.

I've looked at that before - looks like a pretty ingenious design....But, I'm looking to have trim authority and not 'reset' the stick to a new neutral position.  i.e. have trim IN while still having full travel both directions of the stick.  I will research further though - thanks!

A quick poll to get some discussions going.  NOT sponsored by, or reported to, the EAA folks, strictly informal.

I have my own opinions but will leave it up to you to vote based on yours.

True!

That AOA is the 'Critical Angle of Attack'-

A fixed-wing aircraft, by definition, is stalled at or above this critical angle of attack, not at or below a particular airspeed.

The airspeed at which the aircraft the stalls varies with the weight of the aircraft, the load factor, bank angle, the center of gravity of the aircraft, etc.

However...the aircraft always stalls at the same critical angle of attack.

Well folks, I'm getting close the point where  I narrow down what to use to coat my Varieze re-furb project.  I've received bits of advice here and there about what to use to prime and paint it, and am curious about what the masses are primarily going with.

She was flown by the builder in early primer alone, and a lot of that has been sanded down pretty far since.  The filler (mircro) has been excellent, and I'm about to the point where I need to pick out what I'm going to go with.

There's several brilliant whites to go with out there, urethane included - but I'm planning on flying it a bit in the 'naked' primer (UV blocking, obviously) while all the bugs get worked out.

Please let me know what you used to both prime and paint your birds, and how they've held up over the years.

Thanks and fly safe!

Thanks, Bill...

Any bit of visualization is added motivation for me to stick to the project!

I am interested in several of your items.

Thanks!

Looking for a good set of stock O-200 cowls for a Varieze rebuilt project.  Let me know what you've got!
