I looked all over my setup and don't see a breaker.....?  Nor is one shown in the schematic.  They do say to use a switch rated to at least 15 amps.

There appears to be an excellent one in this issue of the CSA newsletter.  It sounds well made and not a lot of hours for $18,000.

You might check with Beagle on the plane's background.  He has a database of many planes and their histories.

Have not built but have helped....
Buy the real pump, put it in an insulated and heated box when necessary, use a small block under the lever to make smaller batches, don't underestimate the zillion batches of epoxy you need to make up to build a whole airplane and the need for accuracy.  I use the little pumps for making small parts and a scale for itty bitty stuff.
You are looking at a huge project, don't skimp on a key and crucial accuracy component of that project!  You can wiegh it all but the big pump will save a lot of time.  It should be calibrated sometimes I'm told...

For Sale/Wanted / FS ECi O-360 180+ HP 40 TTSN
« on: November 20, 2008, 03:13:50 PM »
I purchased this engine to replace my O-320. Am sticking with the smaller engine. It was removed from an aircraft at 40.2 hours and has been properly stored for 2 years. My A&P pulled a jug yesterday and confirms it is clean and shiny throughout with no corrosion. Will leave this cylinder off for a couple weeks for anyone to inspect. The A&P will reinstall and make the appropriate entries in the logbook.
9:1 pistons, Sky-Tec starter, dual Slick mags, alternator and stock carb included.  Has a 110v sump heater attached.
Not as pretty as those with nice paint jobs and chrome trim hence the reduced price of $15,000 plus shipping from northern California. Will send pictures to any interested parties.

And a Center Controller is going to know that ....how?   ???

Thanks again Alcornl.  Don't mind the unecessary critique.  Your input was very helpful, unlike other things that occasionally get posted....

I'd like to thank the Center Controller for clearing this up.  It seems that the simple 3 are used if nothing else applies and are in fact listed in the same chapter and same document as the long list of most all aircraft, which is dated 9/2008:
Chapter 5. AIRCRAFT TYPE DESIGNATORS

Section 1 ENCODE  (Listed by Manufacturer, has 10 Rutan Designs  ;D)

Section 2 DECODE  (Listed by designator)

Section 3 HOMEBUILTS/EXPERIMENTAL  (the simple 3)

Thanks again!

Hangar Flying / Electric Speed Brake - FIXED
« on: November 13, 2008, 12:17:22 PM »
Does anyone know how to adjust the travel or stops on an electric speedbrake?  Mine has never closed completely, which affects cooling and turning the drive shaft doesn't change the length as I had hoped....

Remounted the top bracket and now works great!

Well, let's see what the documents are called and thier dates:

6/5/08 JO 7340.2
5-1
Chapter 5. Aircraft Type Designators

vs.

2/14/08 JO 7110.65S
Aircraft Information SpecificHomebuilt/Experimental Aircraft Appendix C-1
Appendix C. Aircraft Information
SpecificHomebuilt/Experimental Aircraft

I have to go with the document dated more recently and the chapter called "Designators" but would really appreciate an FAA referee to step in and clear this up!

Spodman may be right here.  Though I have used LGEZ and never been questioned this is what I get on the new AOPA flight planner I'm beta testing: 

The specified FAA designator cannot be validated against the list of available aircraft. If you use this designator and it is not a valid aircraft designator, you may have difficulty filing flight plans.

Do you want to continue with this designator?

(For a list a valid type designators, see the listing at AOPA Online.)


Using one of the other 3 HX- designators doesn't generate this warning.  I'll ask the programmers.

I've found that 'fill in the blanks' form and can't get it tell me anything. 
I did get this from an RV guy today and found the Long EZ.  This is an FAA document updated this year:
