    Any idea when the new canard plans will be on the board for downloading ?? I'll be finished with the wiring harness for my Sub by the end of the week and need to get the next project lined up...I'm picking up my bare fuse on the first week of Oct. Wicks glassing practice kit already on the way with some vacuum bagging stuff I want to try. Can anyone tell me what the distance from the firewall to propellor flange is .... so I can get my engine mount started as well.. Curry

    Hard to believe the inside of the engine looks next to new with 82,000 miles on it. I could not believe how good it looked. As sood as I get the timing belt and idlers changed I'm going to do a leak-down and see what happens. I went to a flyin at Louise Texas today and checked out a Glasstar with a NSI 2.5....gives me encouragment. The owner advised I may want to check out Maxwell about a redrive. I'll tackle going throught the factory wire harness tommorrow hopefully.. Curry

    Too late to preach the Mazda gospel...I bought an EJ25 Subaru today...
  10. xanman31
    Purchased a 2001 EJ25 out of a Subaru Outback LTD. with 4WD and auto trans. today. Not sure if the ECU is the one people are using but a little reasearch should fix that. Real World Solutions has a plug and play that would be a quick solution along with a plug and play engine info system at a good price.....BUT....the stock subaru computer has some redundant features not on the RWS system.....choices..choices..choices...

    I would like to include "except for mazda" in my thread title.
  14. xanman31
    When I started this thread I was really hoping someone with some subaru knowledge would chime in. I'm working on locating one ...EJ-25 looks to be a good bet..

    Will do today Have open ez plans printed as well as long nose cad drawings. Kinkos is going to make a manual for me from the Terf CD for $18 so I don't have to carry a laptop around or sit in front of the computer. Sounds like a plan to me Good to know..I will stop fretting over it then Will go shopping for birch today and price rental storage. xanman

    Instead of posting everywhere I decided to get my own going in my search for help to build this thing. I have the templates back from kinkos and I'm waiting for my Terf CD to show up....During this waiting I'm thinking I could have something on order and have it coming. So what do I start with for an order ? Wicks looks to have it laid out perfectly by chapter. Look like I'll have to find a fiberglassing system to use as well. Any suggestions? This is my first aircraft project but I'm pretty handy and have plenty model aircraft building experience and good electrical skills as well. Do I need to have my panel lay out configured before glassing it in place ? Tips and suggestions on all topics wanted.... xanman

    Where can I find your website? Curry

    I don't need to burn any doors off and plan to keep it light. I'd like to maybe have fuel injection and electronic ignition. I'm just throwing it out there for right now to see what others may be using besides the 200,290,320,360 stuff. Curry

    I lived in Houma all my life until moving to Houston a couple of years ago...Houma airport was a great place to fly. None of the EAA guys in Houma had canards....I've never seen one in the area...Nice to know they are out there......OOOhhhhh...I used to go to Galliano all the time to visit friends or on my way to Grand Isle for the Tarpon Fishing Rodeo.. xanman

    I'm over in the woodlands and would love to see your project..my number is 281-651-5127 Curry

    I'm north in the woodlands just getting together the templates and terf cd plans to get started on a long ez. I'm just getting started but would like to meet anyone with some long-ez interest or projects...It looks like Houston may hold a few canard pilots...glad I'm not alone in the persuit. xanman
  23. xanman31
    I have exactly the same problem..to me it looks like the plans are just fine and I'm going to get on with using the plans as they are.. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE OPEN-EZ PROJECT COME TO LIFE...YOUR TIME GIVEN IS BEING PUT TO GOOD USE. XANMAN

    I'm right out here in The Woodlands and just looking to get started on an Open-EZ...I'd love to come see your project. xanman

    I'm here is Houston trying to collect all my info to get this project going. I lost countless bids on ebay trying to get long-ez plans and this place was a true gift when I found it. My templates are at Kinkos and my terf CD is on the way. I just sent a check off to Rutan for rudder and canard plans but from what I have read here I will be getting nothing but my check back. Anyone want to sell or share some ? Anyone hear of some alternative engines for this thing....I'm thinking maybe subaru or raven redrive 1300. Anyone around the Houston area should shoot me an e-mail...we can mix ideas. xanman
