Hangar Flying / any longs for sale?

« on: February 21, 2007, 03:55:25 PM »

Until the classifieds come back up, would it be appropriate to post A/C for sale right here?
I'm looking for a light, straight longez. 0-235 is fine, even preferable. What do you have?

Hangar Flying / What's your range?

« on: March 05, 2006, 03:57:29 PM »

Looking for realistic longez range numbers. 0-235 vs 0-320. (standard tanks)
I've been polling long ez pilots about the big engine vs the small one. My impression is, with the 0-320 range goes down and glide speed goes way up.

Hangar Flying / If you were building it again...

« on: February 03, 2006, 10:06:43 PM »

Folks,
I'm new here, but a long time fan of the A/C. I'm finally ready to start building. (I've had plans for longer than I'll admit) Heres the question. O-320 or O-235? I'd like the power but not at the expense of range. I want the range, but not if I need to fly from a 12,000 foot strip. I don't plan of lots of "gadgets". Just basics. I've been flying a pals O-235 version lately, and love it. Just how much extra weight are we talking about with the bigger engine? (assume no vac sys, B+C starter and alt, you know....LIGHT) Lay your corporate wisdom on me...
Thanks
Dennis
