LongEZ V8 Install

[Bruce]

Here's a link to a short video of Gary Spencer's LongEZ with a Ford V8 installed. He was at the Arlington Fly–In a couple of years ago and we took a few minutes to chat about his installation. I forgot that I had this and thought some folks might enjoy hearing about his V8 installation. It's a little less than 7-1/2 minutes long.

I've seen pictures of this plane in CSA. Didn't realize how much performance he was getting out of it. Did you make the video Bruce? Wish you had asked him about his direct drive setup. Thanks for posting. Very interesting.

Yes, I was going through some of my tapes and ran across our chat, just edited it last night. Some other guys were asking him some questions about that while I was shooting, I'll go back and see if he goes into any detail on that particular part for you. Seems like he only mentioned he had a prop extension and no PSRU was all, I'll check.

Hey Kent,

 

I found what you were looking for (somewhat). Hopefully the WMV will play OK. As you'll see, my camera work wasn't working at the time.

Thanks for the posting the additional info. As you probably know, direct drive props on an auto engine are a little unusual. They usually turn a little too fast without a reduction drive.
