Hangar Flying / Gravity feed fuel system question!
« on: November 08, 2007, 07:57:26 PM »
How significant is a slight uphill run in the fuel line installation? Does it have to be downhill all the way? I suspect that there is enough pressure due to gravity to mitigate any small uphill passage fuel might have to make. I am installing my gascolator and it looks like I may have to mount the gascolator with the inlet slightly higher than the fuel shutoff valve.

Hangar Flying / crosswind controls, limits and techniques
« on: August 29, 2007, 03:22:37 PM »
I need to know the max crosswind component for the varieze. I did not see it in the POH. Also, what are some techniques you varieze drivers are using for crosswind takeoffs and landings (i.e. rudder, differential braking and bank)?

Hangar Flying / leak detection
« on: April 03, 2007, 12:46:27 PM »
I am currently in the process of pressure checking the fuel tanks on my varieze. The tanks will not hold presssure. The bleed down time from 3000' is approximately 1 minute. My connections are sealed. The hose is new surgical tubing type so I don't think it is the equipment or process that is flawed.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to find the leak other than the cigarrette smoke method mentioned in the plans?

Can a damaged canopy be removed from the canopy frame so as to be able to use the frame for a new canopy? If so, how does one go about performing the task of removal and replacement?

Hangar Flying / Pre purchase questions!
« on: June 29, 2006, 06:56:49 PM »
I am considering buying an EZ. I am a c-130 guy with no time in type. I did own an EZ project for awhile and did some limited work on it. So I know a little about the design. I obviously will get some dual instruction prior to operating an EZ as PIC. So I have that end covered however, I have never purchased a plane before and I was wandering if you guys could give me some pointers on the pre-purchase inspections, annual inspection costs, insurance costs etc.....! I don't expect anything too super specific. I realize my situation might be different than another. Any help would be appreciated!

Hangar Flying / varieze cg and weight question
« on: December 17, 2005, 11:19:36 AM »
What, if any, is the effect on CG during fuel burn in the Varieze? Also, I know the POH number on max operating weight but I was wondering if anyone consistently operates safely above those numbers? If so, what are the numbers you are using (i.e. weights, horsepower, environmental conditions)?

Hangar Flying / Day Varieze to Night Varieze?
« on: October 04, 2005, 11:35:19 PM »
Can a day varieze be modified to a night varieze? If so, how hard would it be? Any references to previously accomplished mods would be great! Thanks.
