cz4bldr Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Does anyone here know what modifications and/or changes are required when using the Featherlite Strake Leading Edges? Thanks.

Waiter Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 On the LongEZ - NONE. Just don,t cut them short. I now have a policy, "Don't cut anything until you can no proceed without cutting" The only thing different was, I glued a couple support sticks vertically inside the leading edges to hold their proper shape. while assembling. The sticks are still in the tanks after ten years. "Close enough for Government work" 1) Measure it with amicrometer. 2) Mark it with a crayon 3) Cut it with an ax Waiter Quote F16 performance on a Piper Cub budget LongEZ, 160hp, MT CS Prop, Downdraft cooling, Full retract visit: www.iflyez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cz4bldr Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Waiter, Thanks for your response. I'm wondering how similar are the pre-fab strake LE's for the Long-EZ and the Cozy. Anyone out there with a Cozy MkIV that has the Featherlite strake leading edges who can shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.

adouglas Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Anyone know if they're down for some reason? I've emailed them at fthrlite@pacific.net twice in the last month asking for information (general stuff...what they offer and how much it costs), and have gotten no reply. Thanks...

interestedbutconfuse Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I emailed them about a week ago and received the information I requested - I guess I was lucky! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Burk Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 The Feather Lite stakes for the Long Ez have an additional angle built into them. The Cozy Strakes are strait from BL 67.5 to the Fuse, while the Long has an additional (steeper) angle where the baggage compartment/fuel tank meet. Both are formed using pre-preg and foam, and are supplied with the inner laminates bonded to the foam and formed, but without the outside laminates. They are quite easy to use, and are of (consistently) excellent quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
