Steve and Dave,
Difficult for me to install the manual system without heavy modifications of the instrumnent panel area.
Steve,
Your system is likely the basic full electric one (NL1-12E).
Is it able to maintain your loaded A/C with the nose gear stopped, on ground,  in an intermediate position?

Hangar Flying / Ez noselift retrofit for a Long Ez
« on: September 22, 2013, 05:30:09 AM »
I built my Long Ez 20 years ago and I now want install the eznoselift Jack Wilhelmson device.
I tried to contact Jack last week through  the Eznoselift web site but I did ont get any answer.
Could some of you tell me how to get in touch with Jack or where I can order his lifting device?


Second question:
Installation of the basic system with manuel extension back up will be difficult due to interference with already installed components.
Eaziest way is to install the NL1-12E or the NL1-12EHP. In that case I have not a clear view of the efficiency of the electrical back up in case of the nose lift engine failure.
Could some of you give some you give some feedback?
Thank you.

Did someone test these trailing edeg fences on a Long Ez.
Is the efficiency the same as for VZ?

Hangar Flying / Ignition Key Switch for One Mag + One KSavier EI
« on: February 27, 2011, 02:56:42 AM »
Hello all

I just bought a single LSE Plasma III EI.
Could some one give me some idea how to maintain the KEY ignition switch with these 2 different systems on left and right ignition circuits.
My concern is linked to the fact Plasma III, to be ON, needs to be connected to +12v through the Key switch, while the MAG needs to be disconnected from A/C ground.
My Key Ignition switch is a ACS with strater position (from A/C Spruce).
Thank you in advance for help.

Hangar Flying / High compresion piston for O 320
« on: November 11, 2010, 03:21:07 PM »
My Long Ez is equipped with a O 320 D2A.
I fore see to replace basic pistons by 10:1 pistons but I don really know what could be the negative effect of this change.
Will the reliability of the engine be reduced?
Which effect on oil T° / CHT & fuel consumption?
Can some of you, give me some lessons learnt?

Hangar Flying / Re: To much lift over 180mph
« on: November 11, 2010, 03:10:51 PM »
I'm fying a Long Ez with O 320.
Nose has been extended by approx 10 inches and battery has been moved 10 inches forward. That's garante W&B.
With pilot and pax: fully OK.
With pliot only permament "light" pressure on the side stick is necessary at high speed.
In a nut shell: Check the position of your CG.

Hangar Flying / Re: Varieze brake info wanted
« on: August 09, 2009, 05:02:32 AM »
Hello Eric

I did that when building my Long Ez 20 years ago and I have always been very happy with that.
Main interests:
More place in the engine area,
Easy access to brake master cylinders and very easy leak check during pre flight;
Positive effect on center & gravity balance
Main drawback, if you installed rear rudder pedals,  you will probably lost brake compmand from on rear seat.
