San Diego EZ Squadron / SDEZ Fly-In... Success!

« on: June 23, 2005, 01:40:27 PM »

Dan
I am sorry I missed the fly-in in San Diego Brown field. I had every intention of flying down that morning but developed the flu on Friday night and was in no condition to fly on Saturday. I really wanted to talk to you about painting your ez. Mine has the original paint from 1982 and is in need. Hope to meet you sometime soon, looking forward to it.

Hangar Flying / static rpm

I have an 235 LC2 with a Catto 3 blade. I see 2500 static and up to 2900 at full throttle at 4000 ft. No wheel pants or gear fairings so I am slow compared to most Longs, I see 135 kts indicated maybe 140 if it's a little colder outside. My brother lives in Eugene and I fly her up there once in a while. Maybe we could get together next time and compare notes.

Hangar Flying / ez partnership

« on: May 31, 2005, 01:49:12 PM »

My partner would like to find someone to take over his half ownership of our Long ez. The aircraft is based at Hawthorne and is hangared. It is serial number 26 and was built by Maz Overholtzer. She is basic day/night VFR with a catto prop and Lycoming 0235. Burns between 5-6 gallons an hour at about 150-160 MPH. Lots of fun. If I can't find a partner then I may have to sell her outright. Contact jeff.x.gabrielson@delta.com for more info.

Thanks
Jeff

Anyone flying up to Columbia in the morning on Saturday ? I am leaving Hawthorne in the early a.m. and just wondered if anyone was doing the same.

Hangar Flying / trim spings

« on: April 13, 2005, 12:01:02 PM »

I am having problems with replacing the trip springs for both roll control and pitch control. Does anyone have an idea which springs are the best to use. My roll in the Long pulls to the left too much with the replacement springs and pitch springs are too weak. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Hangar Flying / re-painting

« on: January 06, 2005, 12:03:45 PM »

Can someone offer advise on re-painting a long ez. I am mostly talking about getting the a/c ready for painting. Just wondering, since I have to sand off the old finish, what grit of sandpaper I should use, can I use an electric sander (vibration type, not belt) and how far down to I have to go. I have seen excellent articles on the actual painting process, but not much on removing old paint. Any back issues of Central States deal with this ?
