Hangar Flying / Re: Radio & Parasites

Gilbert:

Can we assume that you are using shielded cable to supply 12 V to
both instruments?   I am not certain of the value of capacitor(s) to use
but they should help.   I am guessing that something in the microfarad
size would be enough.

I didn't use shielded cable. I'll change them thi afternoon (CETime..) and also try ferrites.

Hangar Flying / Radio & parasites
« on: June 05, 2006, 02:19:56 PM »
I instal today an electrical turn co-ordinator.
But, as soon as running, radio is inaudible........
The radio is a ICOM IC-A22E.
What is the solution ?
Might be set a capacitor, if yes, which value and where ?
Or other solution...

Thank you for your help and any advise.
Regards.

Hangar Flying / Long Nose / Nose Art / Varieze
« on: May 07, 2006, 07:10:09 AM »
Hello,
I fly a VariEze, F-PMPZ, in France, close to Paris east side (LFPK Coulommiers Voisins).
 
I plan to make a new "extended" long nose for my plane, and I'm looking for a drawing (or dimensions) for the new NG31,  instead of the oritginal at Section 1, page 17-6.
Who can help me for that ?
A ".doc" document  (or a . cad, if not).
 
What is the new nose lenght ? 10" more ? Or which FS ?

(I fly a O-235 C2C)

Regards.

Thank you Drew,
Yes, SD-8 goes on the vac pump pad.
I'll never go to IFR cockpit, so, I'll order a SD-8 from Spruce.

Hangar Flying / VariEze Alternator & O-235

Do some of you here experiment MODEL SD-8 ALTERNATOR & REGULATOR on VariEze & Lyc O-235.
It is light (3,7 lb) and close to firewall (better for CG..).
I'm flying for 60 hr now, w/o alternator. GC is OK, (midle of flying box w shortened canard)
I'll appreciate to have an alternator on board, instead charging the battery after landing.
Electrical consumption : I have a light starter and a strobe on top cowl (not always on...)

Regards.

Hangar Flying / LongEZ Landing
« on: January 01, 2006, 10:09:49 PM »
Happy New Year to all Canardians.

Nice landing !

And nice trip. Is that Lake Mead / Horn Cape / Colorado River volcanos area ?
I flew a C21O 25 years ago there around. Wonderfull recollection....

Now changing original fuel valve to the Andair one. Works great and gently.

Hello Waiter,
Are your modifications close to be finished ?

Not too big, for sure, but enough and confortable !

Hangar Flying / Fuel consumption and CG
« on: December 17, 2005, 04:09:01 PM »
Due to fuel consumption, CG will move about one inch aft. (25.4 mm).

In my VariEze, full fuel CG is 2545 mm => 101.97"
        Fuseage fuel only CG is 2535 mm =>  99.80"
        Dry (no fuel .....)  CG is 2527 mm =>  99.48"

Lyc O-235 C2C
Short canard.
Make your own calculation, as described in VariEze Owner's Manual Pages 26. Sample loadings
There, you can change the fuel quantity, and see what is the result.

Regards.

Hangar Flying / Re: nose gear door
« on: November 01, 2005, 03:06:22 AM »
Quote from: "RPaille"
I have this type on my varieze. Just make sure you put a metal flap over the right side bolt on the wheel , so when the nose gear goes up; if not centered if will push out the right side end of the door and not catch on the end.

Mike
22VE


W or w/o door, metal flap is a good idea; Both sides....

Hangar Flying / Landing brake
« on: November 01, 2005, 02:53:45 AM »
All is Ok now.
Automatic flip up at 85kts. (160 km/h)

May be I will change from springs to gas strut to avoid slamming. Winter time job....

I'll join CSA to get explanations and data; and furthermore a lot of friendly touches.

Regards.
