You'll need to talk with Ronald Gailbreadth, the builder.

Hangar Flying / Re: Trucking a Long-EZ?
« on: April 09, 2013, 07:05:57 AM »
Watching your wings fly out of a truck would be a bad thing... ugh. How have folks lifting the EZ into the truck, given it's 2-3 feet off the ground like most box trucks I've seen.

Hangar Flying / Trucking a Long-EZ?
« on: April 07, 2013, 10:32:08 AM »
In theory, let's say I need to haul my Long-EZ home via truck & trailer. How would someone do this? Removing the wings and canard would be step one but would a auto hauler, 18 foot flat bed truck with hydraulics to lower the bed to the ground, work? I'm confident in my bird just planning some long distant trips and thinking "what if"!

I'll post a few pics shortly, when I figure out how to insert them.

Hangar Flying / Long-EZ engine mount cracks
« on: April 10, 2012, 08:01:54 AM »
My EZ was in for it's condition inspection and we found two cracks in the engine mount, actually the tube on one wasn't just cracked but broken. Both were hard to see, obscured by baffling. My EZ has 1400 TTSN and is babied by me, no aerobatics and has a Lycoming 0-320. Luckily, my CI is being done by the Robert & Valerie Harris (EZ Jet fame) and they're repairing the mount to better than new condition.
What may have caused this?
I pride myself on closely inspecting the engine during oil changes between CI but evidently not close enough!

I have a flexible schedule as a University professor and 300 hours in my EZ, 1400 TT and instrument rated. Let me know specific pick-up and drop-off locations. I live in Evansville, IN, and would be willing to do it travel expenses.

The "lifting board" (arm, longest) was 4 ft, what I had in the hanger, longer would have been better. Once lifted, I placed other 2x4s (3 and 1 1x4) to hold the wheel elevated.

Here's a simple way to raise a EZ to remove a wheel, took 3 2x4 and 1x4 blocks. I've heard everyone talking about how easy this but never a picture. Be careful to not place the blocks under the breaks. This really was easy! Other options, include pics.

Hangar Flying / Seat cushions
« on: May 05, 2010, 02:46:12 PM »
Alright, I'm burning up the discussion forum these days...
Where's the best place to purchase/order new seat cushions for Long-Ezs? I know some good sources for foam but I'm looking for the covers. Blue skies!

Bruce and Aaron, thanks for the advice! I'll likely add additional insulation to the inside of the cowling. Again, thanks.
