Kent Ashton Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Looks pretty good. I see you made your own pedals. Good for you! Here is a way to make the linkage to the master cylinders, for your consideration. http://www.canardzone.com/forum/topic/18661-kents-long-ez-project/?p=60524 Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a hell of a time trying to fabricate the plans sliding clevis and eventually just put it on the backburner for now. Your way seems easier. I also like the way Wayne Hicks did his as well, Two u channels welded back to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingclay Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Nice work. I have been jumping around chapters with mine and you are doing it right. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datachomper Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Thanks compliments guys. I've come to realize that logistics is my least favorite activity on this project. Everything goes great until something gets backordered. The past few months have been: * Start the canard, but run out of spar cap tape, now the canard takes up my workshop table while I wait * Spar cap tape is backordered everywhere in the world, ok * Move onto elevator chapter, finish elevator * Move onto nose chapter, okay still waiting on nose lift parts * Can't buy the Oelmann pedals any more, so I have to figure out how to make those, deal with that for a while * Now I'm stuck, can't move forward with canard, elevator, canard install, nose, or even main spar * Start gathering parts for control system * Jack comes through with nose lift and sells me some spare spar cap tape he has from the 90s * Now I'm finishing off the canard finally! * Oh and by the way, ACS still has my spar cap tape on BO, along with about a dozen other parts 2-3mo later. * The point is really driven home when I see how easy my RV buddy has it with parts logistics Hopefully now things are unstuck for a while. I'm hoping have the canard & elevator done and installed and the nose lift installed and working before Oshkosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datachomper Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Chapter 11 in the books. Moving onto Chapter 12 canard install. I was going to edit my original post and keep it updated with my album links but I can't figure out how to edit posts. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SpKnPnc36w2FGEfJ6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) "I can't figure out how to edit posts." As I recall, on this site your editor is active for a period of time on any comment, then closes. I'll just test that... yes, edit button active at the lower right, but it will disappear sometime later.

datachomper Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Finished and hung canard, more nose jobs, built a more level work table, finished main spar, working on a wing. I figure the wings will carry me through December. Really wish I could edit and update the original post Workshop - https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZeSadwPXxhp5fqH82 Ch 13 Nose - https://photos.app.goo.gl/WztpLQceG5D2hcmv6 Ch 14 Main Spar - https://photos.app.goo.gl/w6SxSRVufFpoP1X8A Ch 19 Wings - https://photos.app.goo.gl/fCTHXWsMsK5KeJqo7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't like using nut plates to bolt up the canard; have read of them stripping out after a while. I would rather use a through-bolt with metal self-locking nut and wide washers.
