Hangar Flying / Emag/PMag and EICAD software question
« on: November 02, 2010, 08:42:23 PM »
Just wondering if anyone is using the EICAD software with their Emag/PMag?

I notice today that the RPM displayed on EICAD is bouncing quite a lot -- about 20-30 RPM.   Is this normal?
EICAD is my only readout since my Magneto is piped to my tach.

Are there any Canadian Varieze (or LongEz) owners out there that could provide me with a copy of their Transport Canada 24-0055A Maintenance Schedule.    I'm beginning the process of importing an Varieze and I need to create one (I also need one for my Annual/100 hr inspection prior to MD-RA inspection).   

if your not sure what I'm talking about you can see a blank one here http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/maintenance-regsdocs-24-0055a-3454.htm

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Aaron

Hangar Flying / Intro and request for help in Texas
« on: February 14, 2010, 11:52:42 AM »
Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself and request some assistance.  I have been lurking here for a few months and I am now in Long-EZ (or VariEze) purchase mode.   I am a Canadian Air Force pilot with a background in Search and Rescue as well as Transport.  I have a mix of time on everything from a Champ (very humbling) to H-46 helo's (we called them CH-113) to A310 Airbus (my first aircraft with an real lavatory).   I am currently in a ground job as an Air Search Coordinator at the Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Victoria on the west coast of Canada and missing flying.   The "Joint" is due to the office being staffed by Canadian Coast Guard and Canadian Air Force Officers (and a way to gain more funding?).

I was wondering if there were any Long-EZ or VariEze builders or owners in the Houston, Texas area that would like to check out a partially completed Long-EZ for me.   I'm looking for someone to give me an honest assessment of the build quality and work required to complete the project as well as snap a few pictures.  I'm not looking for a tear-down, AME inspection of the plane,  just an educated guess as to whether or not the project may be worth the effort.   I would be happy to pay your minor expenses such as gas and lunch. 

Please PM me if you are interested or you have any suggestions.

Cheers,
Aaron

PS - If anyone knows of any composite builder assistance shops in Houston please let me know.
