Hangar Flying / Vari & Long-eze MUST HAVES!
« on: July 07, 2005, 04:49:23 AM »
A deep desire to get to know the airplane. I would study rain affect and be aware that rain could raise the stall speed...(higher approach speed in the rain) . Be clear about landing speeds and runway requirements. It is an amazing design...dreamy to be sure. Once airborne...the best flying experience I could ever want. Be aware that buying an experimental plane adds to the amount of ownership energy... You need to become the expert cause your A&P will probably be clueless... If you make the plunge and treat the canard community well you will be amazed at the support available. All the best with your Journey.

interestering. I realize that there was a good cross when I had my "raised awareness" take-off. So I was on my left brake some on initiation.... I am sure that that added to the condition.

Has anyone noticed major differences after an 0-320 conversion?

Ever gotten scared on take-off?

The other day I took off with a 165lb friend in the back and 25 gallons of fuel. I way about 175. I think we ate 2,800 feet of runway on a 3,500 runway. altitulde 535 ASL and temps in the 70's.

Makes me real thoughtful about High hot heavy and humid.. Also makes me thoughtful of an 0-320!

i would appreciate experiences and thoughts.

Thanks,

Dave

Wow...nice prop... Isn't there a waiting list for those?  congrats on your radio...nice to have stuff working,

My next task is rain proofing my plane. i have a big gap in the front of the canopy and want to keep water out of my panel.

Rick,

What RPM are you getting at full rich, carb heat, idle...? mine is about 700RPM maybe I'll bring it down just a hair.

Really enjoying the airplane.

Rick,

Flew today at 5,000 full throttle full rich. Got 2650 Rpm Indicating 145 knots... I will try tomorrow (if time allows at 3,000) and see what  I can get.

Amazing that we have the exact same setup.

I am getting the story... full power is common... even recommended. Not what I am used to. Thanks. Hope we can meet some time and introduce our planes to one another.  dave

Ken,

Thanks for the information..didn't know there were options on the intake or exhaust for that matter...learning curve still steep. Are you in K- Falls?

harry,

I haven't pushed to full throttle...not sure why not what I am used too. I am sure I can get 2,700+ out it there...

I was watching to see if temps would settle and can't say that I really noticed big changes... #4 CHT is 385 degrees at cruise with the rest being less... I have 415 degrees on climb out but have been keeping it shallow for the break in...

Thanks for your response,

Dave

Just wondering... for you folks flying infront of an 0-235 what RPM are you getting static? and what are you using for cruise?

3 hours after rebuild I am getting 2300 static and cruiseing above 2650 for break in... (full rich)

The book (long ez handbook) says should get 2450 minimum static rpm and I am understanding that this means that I am not developing full rated horse power for take off and that it could mean a higher cruiese (158-160 knots at 2600)... Would love you thoughts on the matter...

Plans say switch # is 275-1102.. Radio Shack doesn't appear to stock that # any more...hmmm. I hope the 275-016 will do it.. Dave
