Hangar Flying / About the Open-EZDrawingsRev5 file

« on: December 15, 2008, 07:24:02 PM »

Can anybody tell me if ALL of the templates are in the Open-EZDrawingsRev5 file? I downloaded it and am getting ready to order my plans but I want to know for sure that I have all of the templates needed to build a Long ez.

Hangar Flying / How many hours to complete a Long Ez?

« on: December 03, 2008, 11:57:25 PM »

How many hours on average does it take to finish a Long Ez? If I start this Friday will I be finished by this Sunday? I am just kidding. Has anybody heard of an average hours to build? I know it will vary a lot between builders. I read 3,000 hours somewhere but I don’t remember where I read that. Would that be close?

Are there any realistic Long EZ simulators out? Are there any that I can add a Long EZ to?

Hangar Flying / Ready to start a new long ez aircraft

« on: November 23, 2008, 07:12:27 PM »

Hi everybody, another newbe entering the world of canards. I am preparing to begin construction of a Long EZ in about a month. I live in Alaska and I have a small heated room to start making parts in. If all goes as planed I will have a garage to rent to assemble the parts in when I get that far. I am ordering the plans from Terf. Would somebody please answer a couple of questions for me?

Can a person use the cheep plastic pumps that Aircraft Spruce sells for measuring out epoxies or do I need to purchase that $200+ machine to get good layups.
Which modern epoxies is the best to use.
Are there any special tools that I need to purchase to make this go easier?
Has anybody built an exterior step that retracts for back seat boarding of the aircraft?
Are the luggage pods removable when not in use?

Thank you,
Jeff
