Hi Folks,

does anyone have a copy or some insight on the early lightspeed ignition? Specificly
the one that uses the MSD ignition amplifier?

Thanks

On a lighter note,

Check of the SWEET Long that I have the fortune of ferrying this weekend!   

I think this plane exists in MS flight sim 2004!

Hi Joe,

Its rather interesting that in the midst of all the speak of wingspar problems,  I might have my own issues as well!

On my last flight, my left hand exhaust failed (right in the middle of the carb heat box) anyway the long and short is it appears the back of the left side spar carry through may have sustained some heat damage (kind of just to the right or the aileron bellcrank).

Anyway Ive looked all over for information regarding an issue such as this but so far no joy. There is no damage to the exterior skin but from the looks of the shear web as mentioned earlier, high heat might have been encountered.

Any suggestions?

Joe,

I havent done any analysis on the VE wing attach fittings/center section spar, but how conservative do you think Burts' limit load of 5Gs is? (this is of course assuming proper build and workmanship)


I routinely pull 5gs in my plane, and the thought of structural failure has never even remotely entered my mind. (for the record, at each annual, I inspect all aluminum structure each year for signs of damage and or corrosion)

Just because it is a pretty airplane, that does not meant the really important elements (airframe/strucures, flight controls, fuel system, etc.) are also up-to-par.

 


I couldnt have said it better myself

Any updates on his condition?

Hi Allen,

from the pics, I would think your prop should be easily repaired, For the 2k for a prince, I would certainly try!

Hangar Flying / Helmets!
« on: May 01, 2008, 08:50:31 AM »
Does anyone know where I can get a decent surplus HGU-55 helmet?

The size needs to be X-large, and the avionics dont really matter as I can get them for cheap.


Thanks

The engine is 0 SMOH but set up for experimental only (its has been balanced with high compression cylinders
