Hangar Flying / roll bar
« on: January 08, 2005, 07:19:20 AM »
RAF has plans for a roll bar on his web site.

How many have built this style, and how do you like it?

Hangar Flying / Long-EZ Engine Mounts for IO-360
« on: January 01, 2005, 11:01:24 PM »
Is there an engineering drawing available for the engine mount for an IO-360?

I believe this is a Dynafocal #1 (30 degree mounting system).

Do I just email CSA direct to order back issues or articles, or is there some other on-line or FAX procedure?

Thanks

Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co (Corona?) puts on composite classes sponsored by the EAA.  They are excellent.

Hangar Flying / Throttle/mixture controls
« on: December 20, 2004, 07:33:39 PM »
Regarding the throttle and mixture controls:

I want to use push-pull controls rather than spring loaded, but want to use handles instead of Cessna type controls.

Does anyone know the pivot length from push-pull rod to pivot and handle to pivot?

Any drawings of home-made throttle quadrants out there?

Any make/model manufactured throttle quadrant that is best for a Long-EZ?

Hangar Flying / MS FS vs X-Plane
« on: December 01, 2004, 09:03:14 PM »
I'm generally a big microsoft fan.  (don't laugh, their stuff just works and it's helped me a lot).

In this case, I like X-plane better.  The instrument graphics are better, and the handling seems more hi-fy for the long ez.

I'm getting my legal version of X-plane in a few days so hopefully I'll learn how to customize it to my plane.

I like the simulator for practicing emergency procedures.

I've been playing with the LongEZ in both MS Flight Simulator and X-Plane.

Is it just me, or is X-Plane really as superior as I think it is?

Hangar Flying / X-Plane simulation

For you guys who are flying the real thing and X-Plane, how accurate is the simulation?

I downloaded the demo version of Xplane and will buy it as soon as I can find a store in San Diego that carries it.

It looks like it allows extensive customization of the control panel, but I've only looked at that area of the software and not tried any mods myself.

The LongEZ profile I downloaded from the link above is pretty amazing.

I'm trying to get ahold of a Long-EZ profile for MS Flight  Simulator 2004, but no luck yet.
