Yep, lesson learned.  Those pretty colored lenses on your position lights do not bounce off concrete.  Now I need a clear aft lense for a whelen postion light / strobe.  

Anybody happen to have one sitting around?

Hangar Flying / Feather Fill? Wet Sanding?

Is Morton's Eliminator still available?  I am having trouble finding the stuff.  Is there a replacement filler that is comparable?

Hangar Flying / Landing Lights
« on: March 01, 2007, 10:52:32 PM »
I was thinking something like this would be perfct for the front of the baggage pods.

http://www.cardomain.com/item/HELH71010131

The tips of the pods could be cut just right to accept the round housing and the shape would be somewhat aerodynamic instead of flat.
Not to worried about the glare as I will test partially covering (painting) the lens to prevent this from happening if needed.  

Aiming will be key and can be accomplished by adjusting and tacking the light in place prior to final installation.  I can pretty much see the finished product.  There will be a pigtail at the top of each pylon that wil plug into the wing.  Once attached the slack will set into a small cut out area in the top of the pylon allowing for flush mounting.

Just not exactly sure what typ of plug-in to use.  It will have to be compact and sit somewhat flush when mounted into the wing as not to extrude when the pods are not installed.

Hangar Flying / Landing Lights
« on: February 28, 2007, 10:08:09 PM »
I am installing baggage pods on the EZ.  Looking at installing some landing/taxi lights in the nose of the pods.  Anyone done this before?  Pics?

Running the electrics to the pods is no problem.  A simple plug-in, hid in the pylon to an outlet under the wing will work. Something the size of maybe a headphone jack in an I-Pod.  Any ideas on what type of connection would work?

Not looking at installing huge lights just some small, round lensed fog lights that have cool burning bulbs.  Really mostly for taxi lights.  Opening the canopy and holding up my D-cell mag light to taxi around works but I can only hold my arm up for so long :lol:

Hangar Flying / vibration on decent
« on: February 09, 2007, 11:42:44 AM »
Two blade or three blade?  Before I had my 3 blade I had something similar happen to me.  When I would begin my descent I began experiencing a vibration until I changed the RPM setting out of the effected RPM range.  

During the process of removing, reinstalling, retorquing and retracking my prop I came upon a 2" crack close to the hub area on the backside.

I grounded the plane and installed a Catto three blade and have had no problems since.  Plane has been flown with and without a spinner.

I would start with an overall visual inspection of the prop.  Retorque the extesion bolts to the fly wheel to insure proper torque and uniformity.  Retorque the blade bolts and re-track the blade.  You can find directions on how to track the blade in the articles section.  Also make sure that the mating surfaces between the blade and the extension are clean.  Any debris here can cause the blade to not track properly. :D

Hangar Flying / Bugs
« on: April 26, 2006, 01:03:22 PM »
This may sound funny, but here is what I use and it works like no other.  Take some "Bounce" sheets from your laundry room , wet'em and clean away.  Takes bug guts off just about anything with extreme ease.  Also leaves a fresh scent:)  Works great on your car too....

It does not work as well on the carbon spots or exhaust marks on your prop.  I use a stove top cleaner used on glass top ranges for that.

Hangar Flying / 3 Blade prop noise....
« on: March 08, 2006, 07:20:28 AM »
I have a 3 blade Catto on my Long.  One of the blades passes directly thru an exhaust stroke resulting in a blackened portion of the blade which must be cleaned regularly (No Problem).  The question here is, does that blade passing thru the exhaust create an audible noise that can be heard even in flight?  

Ever since I have installed it I have began hearing what sounds like an audible clicking sound.

Hangar Flying / cabin heat
« on: February 14, 2006, 10:36:03 PM »
OK, here's what I got planned.  I read something about this in the archives.  For some reason the archives are not working on my computer right now.  Anyway, I am going to mount an inline duct blower at the end of my heater exhaust tube in the nose.  Here is a link to the duct blower:

http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?form_prod_id=59,7,363_73&action=product

It's a 3" blower that I will mount to the side of the fuselage and I will fit a tapered end to fit onto the heater duct.  The blower will be located below my right leg.  I then plan on installing a variable speed switch on my instrument panel to control fan speed and therefore heat output.  This will also allow for a heated cabin while taxiing.  

Hopefully this will succesfully "PULL" heated air foward into the cabin.

I will report to the board as the project unfolds.
