Hangar Flying / Canard with dihedral a la Stagger-EZ
« on: May 06, 2008, 09:58:51 PM »
Hello all,
I've been wondering about Steve Wright's interesting canard configuration.  I understand that roll rate is increased due to less turbulent air over the ailerons, but I was wondering if this also increases roll stability due to dihedral effect.  A Long-EZ builder/pilot friend of mine was commenting on his aircraft's lack of dihedral on any surface, and I immediately thought of the Stagger-EZ.  Anyone have any first-hand info/insight on this setup?  Has anyone tried this on a Long-EZ?  If you're browsing this forum Steve, your comments would be very welcome.  Cheers!

Hangar Flying / Long-EZ Maingear

Hello all,
I'm busy gathering materials for my build, and I've noticed a lot of variation in the appearance of the maingear hoop on various aircraft.  It looks like a lot of builders add a fairing to streamline this piece, sometimes with quite a bit of chord, but I'm wondering if everyone generally uses the same hoop underneath.  Or is there variation here as well?  Any advice is appreciated.  I've got a couple of possible leads on maingear, and I just want to make sure there isn't more to this than I think.

Cheers,

Hangar Flying / Pre-cut foam cores for Long-EZ

Thanks for all the info, guys.  Featherlite got back to me with a price list, and between them and Eureka CNC (I've just sent him an email) I'll be able to source a lot of the materials I'll need.  I really appreciate the input.  Flyingwaldo:  please let me know if your friend decides to part out his project and no longer needs those cores.  Perhaps we can cut a deal.

Cheers.

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly.  I'll get in touch with Featherlite and see what they have to say.

Cheers!

Hangar Flying / Pre-cut foam cores for Long-EZ

Hello all,

I just purchased an original Long-EZ plans set, and I intend to start building next spring.  I'm planning to spend the winter gathering materials etc. that I'll need for this project, and I'm wondering about pre-cut foam cores for the Long-EZ wing, strake, and Roncz canard.  Someone told me that these are still available.  Does anyone know if in fact they are, and who is supplying them?  I don't mind the idea of hotwiring, but this looks like a good way to save some time and maybe get a better result.  I'll welcome any suggestions or comments.  Thanks.
