Thanks.....Got one on order as we speak!

Where can I inquire to purchase a Gary Hertzler prop for my Long EZ??? Regards,

Worked 5 years for NASA, JSC, Houston, TX prepping the Space Shuttle and DOD payloads (yeah, spy satellites) for flight. Now, I have my own engineering firm specializing in systems integration, security, fire, CCTV, audio/video, satellite links, home theaters here in Honduras, Central America.... Cheers,

Thanks for the info.....I also Ditto on the readily available prop. Let me know about your new prop and maybe we can share the cost of production!!!! Regards,

I replaced my 149 teeth ring about a year ago because of broken teeth. Finally, I determined that my SkyTec starter with inadequate battery voltage was breaking the teeth and also the starter casing. In other words, you need a decent battery current to prevent starter/teeth conflict. After two Sky tec casing failures, i decide to use the Kelly Aerospace E-drive starter with higher capacity battery and had never had a problem again...I highly recommend them. Regards,

Neilk: I have a Long EZ with O 320 with and Aymuth Cruise Wood Prop. Thinking of "experimenting" with a new prop. What are you using??? Performance??? Or any recommendation of prop???? Thanks,

I have a Long EZ with 0-320. Pilot weight, in this plane, is from a minimum of 180 lbs. to a maximum of 250 lbs to be within the CG range. I also ditto with the above comments with respect to empty weight, fuel and other characteristics....I am currently 235#, usually fly solo and it flies great..... Cheers,

Highly recommend the Aveo FLash-SeriesLP Wing Pair. Position+Strobe, New LED technologies, $744.00 + Shipping and Handling. We are dealer of Aveo. Let me know if your interested....

I had to use a bit longer bolts to compensate for the width of the two oversize washers. The original nut plate was bent a bit from the overtightening. However, the thick washers recommended, have more area and are stronger than the original nutplate. I have to agree that this is better, more adequate way of securing the canard...Thanks for sharing your insights.... Afif HR-ATQ Long EZ Honduras

I changed the bolts with self locking nuts and 2 1.5" oversize washers....Work out pretty nice. Thanks Waiter!!! AFIF HR-ATQ, LONG EZ HONDURAS

Thanks.....I might change for self locking nuts and the two large washers. Large, what diameter??

Torque level????

Took one nut plate off and inspected it before introducing the new bolts and it was integral. Tried the new bolts and it fit pretty tight but I did unscrewed the bolt and checked the bolt's thread and it was AOK....

My Long EZ has 914 Hours and first flight was 20 years ago. Every month I check the canard bolts and torque them because they do become loose. I decided to take them out to inspect them because one of them was not tightening enough. I'm glad I did. Look at the attached photos and you'll understand why..... I replaced them immediately. Is this pretty common??? Please inspect your canard bolts frequently for integrity..... Afif Saybe Long EZ, HR-ATQ Honduras, Central America
