No - road version. Nuvi 260.

Sorry I did not see "Aviation" in the question and did not know it was a requirement. I thought you might be asking from a human factors standpoint.

I use a Garmin Nuvi with on screen data entry. It has an abcdef keyboard as opposed to a qwerty keyboard and that is kind of a PITA to use.

Carl

Thanks all. I actually found a metal distributor that is on the way into work! I have it mounted and if not for other life distractions, might have had it finished. Maybe next weekend.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick replies. The rod I just took out of this aileron is an undersize 3/8 steel and there was some slight rusting on the ends that are exposed to the elements. The rust extended in about 5 inches.

They did not have anything useful at the home depot yesterday. I'll be hitting the yellow pages today, after coffee.

They are really different airplanes. The Long is a plans built and the Q-200 a kit built. There were probably a couple thousand sets of LongEZ plans sold. Wiki says the Quickie Aircraft Company sold about 2,00 kits. I would guess the difference in the number of flying aircraft boils down to the ease of building and customizing, the quality of the plans and follow on support, and the performance.

I am looking for a local source for 7/16 inch 4130 steel to use for balancing my aileron. I am in the DFW area, near Arlington Texas.

I'd be much obliged for any ideas and connections.

Steve;

Thanks for the write up.

Do you have pictures or a URL to where pictures might be posted? I have a similar situation and have decided to switch to the 7/16 inch rod. Before cutting I'd like to know if I should cut just enough to knock the 3/8" rod out of place. Or should I cut back into the foam and then micro foam back into place after I position the 7/16" rod?

Carl

Thank you. I already have the Roncz plans (for another project) but did not even think to look there for the vortilons. I just checked and, sure enough, there they are on C-4.

Nope, they appear to be different when comparing CP42 and 47.

 

CP47 looks to match the ones called out in the Roncz canard addendum (spc).

 

I am pretty sure you'll be able to get your hands on the Roncz drawings without too much hassle in the near future.

Are the Long EZ vortilons the same as the Varieze vortillons?

I found the Varieze vortilon drawings in CP 42 but canot find my CP 47 to check.

Thanks.

Where are you located? I have had good luck with autobody repair shops when purchasing paint and primers. Right now I am using PPG K38 and will use a PPG single stage topcoat. The store I am using here in Ft Worth can probably order Valspar if they do not have it where you are. Local will probably be better for you.
