Waiter Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Does Nico check in here? I'm interested in the internal guide tube. I need to barrow it for a month to take some measurements. I may be able to come up with a source to make this tube assembly out of steel. If anyone is interested in replacing theirs, please leave a note here. I don't know about cost yet, but I'm sure I'll need a minimum number of orders to even start work on this 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...

I believe we paid $300 for two plus the chrome moly Quote Evolultion Eze RG -a two place side by side-200 Knots on 200 HP.

Steve Innova Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Lynn Erickson, I had your gear (Bill Ortell's) and now own the 2nd generation Infinity Gear. The 2nd gen infinity gear guide tube is a 1 piece machined AL tube, whereas your steel chromoly stell tube was (if I recall) 3 peices. The steel guide tube, and two AL half-cylinders, bolted to the top of the chromoly tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiter Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Lynn, How did they make it? I assume they would need two pieces, the slotted tube portion, and the top piece. These two items would then be jigged so they are straight, then welded!

Waiter, I have the gear, so if you need to know something feel free to contact me. Quote Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.
