Jon Matcho Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 The E-Racer is another Rutan Long EZ derivative with side-by-side seating. If you want to read about a superbly built machine with a supercharged Lycoming IO-540 then get a hold of the November 2003 issue of EAA Sport Aviation magazine (www.eaa.org). Attached is a pic from the article.

Spodman Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Looks great. Pretty colors are a worry. Susceptible to re-kitting on a hot day?

Jon Matcho Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 Here's a great thread titled Finishing a composite airplane that includes a discussion on which colors are acceptable (in addition to white).

Bruce Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 And a high speed fly-by at RR before his mods. http://pursuitofflight.com/videoeracerfly-b.html Quote Best regards, Bruce Sturgill http://www.pursuitofflight.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge 513 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 We were talking just last night about his DD cooling inlets and this RR flyby came up, and if I remember correctly, that pass was at 280+mph with 59 inchesMP and 2900RPM and a 5400FPM climbout from 50 feet, leveling off at 6000 feet. The engine guy told Jack it was developing about 450HP at that point. Too bad the climbout wasnt recorded! YOW. Quote Self confessed Wingnut. Now think about it...wouldn't you rather LIVE your life, rather than watch someone else's, on Reality T.V.? Get up off that couch!!! =) Progress; Fuselage on all three, with outside and inside nearly complete. 8 inch extended nose. FHC done. Canard finished. ERacer wings done with blended winglets. IO540 starting rebuild. Mounting Spar. Starting strake ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 It was quite a rush standing under him when he went over at that speed. By the time I panned the camera around and found him to get his pull up, he was basically gone. At the time he was doing 240 knots and adding power as you can hear.
