Hangar Flying / Re: Nose extension.
« on: December 24, 2010, 02:56:22 AM »
Very nice report.   Are you flying yet ?

I'm not sure I want to tackle this retro . . .Don't want to commit to so much time to do it.  I'm adding a larger engine  ( O-320 ) which I understand needs more ballast for W&B so I think I'll have to add some weight which I'm not fond of either, but I think I'll be in the air sooner.

Thanks for the responses.   I hope I don't have to get too involved. I'm not sure I want to cut that much away.   But . . .we'll see.

Thanks again ! !

Hangar Flying / Nose extension.

Planning to extend my nose.

Not sure exactly how to get the smooth shape I'm looking for.  Anybody got plans or specs on how to do it right ?

MikeTDrew,

I've often thought about that, . . How do you get the bird up on the dollies when you're ready to put 'er away ?   

Do you have any pics of this action ?

I was thinking of buying a smaller hangar where this would be required.

I'm not sure what you're looking for in repair info, . . . . if you built this  or  have any glass experience, . . .it shouldn't be too tough to fix,. . .

I just think this  " Balance "   issue . . .should get more attention.   I was working on my bird in my garage and I was climbing on the strake towards the rear and suddenly the plane tipped over backwards on me too ! !  I was more fortunate.  My winglet tips hit a storage cabinet and chipped out the tip.  I was able to fix that pretty easily.  That's when I started to pay a lot more attention to the " tip - over " possibility of these birds.  I'll keep it in mind from now on ! !   Again, . .fortunately, . .I got away . . ." EASY "  ! !

I don't know that much about the mounting of the O-200, but there are many out there that do.

You might check with  Claus Savier, . .I think he runs an O-200, . .Gary Hertzler,  or  Terry Schubert.   These guys know more about what's required to swap engines, . .mounts etc.  Also perhaps Hal Hunt. (exhaust pipes).  He's done some mount work.

I was thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of  7 K.   It's well worth that.  Not many hours on a rebuild with high comp. pistons.  I just want to get on with my O-320 but I don't want this one to rot away.  It's a great little motor.
