Hangar Flying / 0-235
« on: October 01, 2006, 09:36:22 PM »
:D   i too have a 0-235c1b....and based  out of las vegas.at 3400 ft... the only true change i got in  static and dynamic RPMs  was using the proper prop  i went through 4 diffrent ones....  till i got just the right one for my 0-235...static 2550...and flying full forward  at 2800 flat... thats with the stock mags....

Hangar Flying / kit
« on: August 19, 2006, 08:56:07 PM »
IF YOU WHERE NOT THER TO SEE THE BUILDER " BUILD  IT"   OR DID NOT   BUILD IT YOURSELF....NO ONE KNOWS... ....IT DOES NOT TAKE A WHOLE PLANE T0 BE BAD.. or  TO BE UNAIRWORTHY.....MOST OF THE TIME ITS ONE SMALL THING..., PAPERWORK ., OR YET FRAME OF MIND.... :shock:
 EXPERIMENTALS.. ARE JUST. NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT A GUARANTEE ON EVERYTHING. :( ...  
      lateley all i have been reading is  people.. WHO ar unfamiliar with homebuilts and or new to flying.>>>.BLAMING PREVIOUS OWNERS..& BUILDERS..... i see very little support  for sellers from fellow canardians.

Hangar Flying / finger
« on: August 08, 2006, 07:25:08 PM »
:D  like i mentioned buyer beware,!!,,,see it , feel it,,,FIRST.
  Also...this might just be a blessing to AL...because,  even if the plane was in good condition....being unfamiliar in the eze and a low time pilot,...could have really gotten him hurt or worse,, i have flown that route to sun and fun....the arizona, new mexico parts through las cruces and juares in the summer can get hairy...and dangerous. :lol:  good luck to all.

Hangar Flying / finger pointing

....  i did read that  the $2000 dollars was a non-refundable deposit., if anyone agrees to that,without seeing or testing,,   Anything !!!..then they have it coming >>> would you pay for a  pair of shoes you have never tried on ??, knowing that it is non -refundable or non-returnable?  
   i would not put a deposit of any amount on anything i have not SEEN.
  >  A DEAL is  ,,still very much  A DEAL.. and should be honored. BY BOTH PARTIES.>   .
   HOWEVER....SOMETIMES..IT IS BETTER...TO BE  MORALLY AND ETHICALLY CORRECT... like giving the money back.
 
     another fault of the buyer is actually planning to fly a plane from california to virginia..on his first few hours in it knowing he has no SOLO  time so in an eze..and a low time pilot... danger, danger..in any airplane.  :shock:  ..

Hangar Flying / varieze
« on: July 18, 2006, 09:51:35 PM »
why not get a ve wihtout corrosion.on the attach plates ?...only a very small number of VARIEZE'S  have corrosion.on the attach plates,, same as long eze's

Hangar Flying / auto plugs
« on: July 14, 2006, 11:23:28 AM »
hello all,
  the mags dont put  out MORE  spark......IT DOES REQUIRE MORE "JOULES"  TO CREATE A SPARK..REQUIRING HIGHER RPMS...and more power....ELECTRONIC IGINITONS  REQUIRE ONLY VERY LITTLE  POWER THE " ARC" OR SPARK ...KLAUSE WORKS WELL INTO 6 VOLTS AND REALLY  LOW RPMS...

Hangar Flying / pistons

:)
  I run a 0-235 c1b (all stock)...and with a 60x74 prop...my static is 2550-2600...and it gets 2800 on full power  level flight ...is tach reading right?...
 2200 static on a 62x62 seels low...my old prop was a 62x68 :? ....and i got 2700-2800 statics...

Hangar Flying / eze
« on: May 16, 2006, 12:22:09 PM »
eric,
  dont judge a bird by its weight alone....625 for a MODERN vari is very, light... you may have OVERLOOKED the ENGINE.SIZE..some have c-85's to 0-235s...some have large or even dual oil coolers...some have 60 amp alternators some have no electricals..some have nice radios  some USE HANDHELDS  >>.ETC ETC ETC...AND YES THE FAMOUS CG...LEAD IN THE NOSE..ADDS WEIGHT...but keeps us balanced  alive and flying...newer  or improved eze's are more evolved &  yes heavier...they are also much safer and reliable...

 note:  even certified aircraft...are ALWAYS much heavier than what the POH says....and NONE exactley the same weight... :)
