Hangar Flying / leak detection
« on: April 03, 2007, 08:28:50 PM »
I knew they would not seal well so I have put off installing them until I get the pressure test done.

I wonder if an auto parts store would have a detector I could use?

Hangar Flying / leak detection
« on: April 03, 2007, 12:46:27 PM »
I am currently in the process of pressure checking the fuel tanks on my varieze. The tanks will not hold presssure. The bleed down time from 3000' is approximately 1 minute. My connections are sealed. The hose is new surgical tubing type so I don't think it is the equipment or process that is flawed.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to find the leak other than the cigarrette smoke method mentioned in the plans?

Hangar Flying / Canopy Replacement
« on: February 24, 2007, 11:36:27 AM »
Can a damaged canopy be removed from the canopy frame so as to be able to use the frame for a new canopy? If so, how does one go about performing the task of removal and replacement?

Hangar Flying / Cowling issue
« on: February 07, 2007, 06:53:57 PM »
Okay, so I reread my post and I could have worded it better. I am asking if there is there such a thing as a continental versus a lycoming cowling for the varieze? I have recently changed directions with regards to powerplant choices and have decided to go with an O-200. The previous owner of the project I purchased mentioned something to the fact that I should be able to get my money out of the "lycoming cowlings." Any thoughts?

Thanks Gilbert! I knew the difference was a matter of measurements. Just not sure what the measurements were!

Hangar Flying / more specific
« on: October 03, 2006, 05:18:46 PM »
Okay maybe I need to be more specific! By looking at a crankshaft how does one determine which SAE bolt pattern it is?

Hangar Flying / Pre purchase questions!
« on: June 29, 2006, 06:56:49 PM »
I am considering buying an EZ. I am a c-130 guy with no time in type. I did own an EZ project for awhile and did some limited work on it. So I know a little about the design. I obviously will get some dual instruction prior to operating an EZ as PIC. So I have that end covered however, I have never purchased a plane before and I was wandering if you guys could give me some pointers on the pre-purchase inspections, annual inspection costs, insurance costs etc.....! I don't expect anything too super specific. I realize my situation might be different than another. Any help would be appreciated!
