I have mocked up the oil heat system for the hell-hole installation using a Atwood turbo 3000 marine blower. Based on the mockup I am convinced it will provide sufficent air movement and heat. Anyone who would like pictures of the system mockup contact me at Vette164@msn.com.

I recieved the 3" blower motor. It is well built, however I decided that 145 CFM open system may not be enough. I have ordered a 4" blower that is rated at 250 CFM open system. I will provide an update when I compare the two in a mocked-up closed system

Thanks Charlie. I ordered one. I will run some tests on it before I do the installation. I will let everyone know how it works.

Thanks for all the input. I thought that sometime in the past someone mentioned a fan that would fit in the hell hole and was pretty efficent.
I will take a look at the thigh support area, however it appears I have more room in the hell hole.
I will keep looking

I am planning on oil heat for the Longez. I plan to put the oil cooler in the hell hole. Does anyone have an idea for a blower motor, besides Waiter's 1982 rabbit blower motor. Waiter's 10 amp circuit braker seems a bit much for this installation. I'm looking for a motor that will be do the job,but with minimum power requirements.

I have been flying the Garmin 296 in a Bonanza and plan on using it in the Longez. I has everything but uplinked weather. Easy to read and the battery lasted over 8 hours on my last trip!

Arizona has been warm, good for building! However, my progress has been slow because of work and honeydos!

Well, I have been working on mine since the early 80's also. Family is raised and gone (as gone as anyone can expect) and now am making good progress. I expect completion next year. See www.longez209.com web site. There should be no structual issues if stored properly.

Hangar Flying / O235 vs 320
« on: February 04, 2006, 09:02:46 AM »
I am still building, but was convinced after talking to a lot of Longez drivers that the 0320 was the way to go. I sold my o-235 and installed a 0-320. You can see my install at www.longez209.com

You can get one from Featherlite. That is where I purchased mine.
