    7725 cloth

    SAF_Zoom replied to Kent Ashton's topic in Materials

    Hi Kent is this the same as the RA7725 recomended for the CosyIV, and sold by ACS? Have you any idea of the shipping charges to Montreal, Canada for a complete roll of 125 yards? Thanks,

    The ideal panel

    SAF_Zoom replied to ronny's topic in Interiors

    The newer MGL do that. You can hook up, up to 4 cameras, including IR

    Well I'm about to start building my Cozy IV, what would you guys think is a good expoxy systems nowadays for someone building up north in Montreal. My shop as a controled temp of about 70-75 F and about 40-50% humidity. I'm leaning towards the MGS 285 system. Although the temps don't get to hot here in the summer, they do get really cold in the winter (-40 F), what effect if any as very cold temps on these systems? Just wan't to know what to expect leaving this plane parked outside (and using it) during winter months.

    You will have a problem with the top cut in your picture as it will prevent the rudder from deploying outward (the two cuts are angle the same way and not opppsite to one another)

    It is expensive but it's a firewall back package... so you get every thing you need and its all NEW... not USED or an incomplete package... Mayby in a couple of years we can get one cheaper with say 1,000 hours on it or a prop strike or two...

    Nope its on DVD now... well at least the version that Aircraft Spruce sells (or give away with plans)

    It's 2400 hour but only if have it has the increased strength pistons (P/N LW-18729). If not 2000. All info here : http://www.lycoming.textron.com/support/publications/service-instructions/pdfs/SI1009AS.pdf

    This is good to know, because when you watch the old video "Building the Rutan Composites"... Mr Rutan and Melvil use their hands to smear off epoxies and to sometime spread it around. But seing that Mr Melvil was using a barrier cream clearly indicates that we know a lot more about epoxies (and their impact on the human body) today then we knew back then. All these "does and don'ts" about safety should be stickied somewhere on this forum... no pun intended.

    It comes free with the Cozy IV plans (along with a copy of the pilot hand book) when you order it from Aircraft Spruce.

    Well I'm the proud owner of plans #1588 . I'll be ordering a bunch of supplies next week. From then its right into the build. The shop being in order and my work tables already built. This weekend is dedicated to reading through these plans. I will be asking a buch a question before I dive to deep thought. On this I would like to ear from guys that are building with a 540 in mind (I'll be using a T4 turbo 20B rotary, but the weight is about the same I ear) Lots of ducks the get in a row... Regards,

    Are you refering to the VE that cought fire due to sub standard fuel lines? This accident was not caused by the engine itself but by inadequate accessories.
  14. SAF_Zoom
    Not looking for plans anymore, they were just ordered from Aircraft Spruce
  15. SAF_Zoom
    Thanks Phil, I know all of that but I want 3rd edition plans and a project that is just started. If I can't find one soon (say in the next 2 weeks). I'm ordering new ones and materials. Regards,

    Anyone willing to part with their plans and M drawings. Also if you are near Quebec (that means: New York, Vermont, Maine and a few other north estern states), I would be interested in buying a "young" project and any supplies and tools you may have purchased. Regards,

    I'm looking at ordering a Fein tool, what "kit" do you recommend... is the "start" kit plenty for our use or is one of the more expensive kit better in the long run?

    Anybody tried an Akrapovic EVOLUTION SLIP-ON partial exhaust system built for Yamaha motors. When tested the temperature of the header tubes exceeded 800ºC and it held up. I know that the exhaust heat from a rotary engine can destroy most mufflers... so I just wanted to know if poeple that fly these installation have though of using a motorcycle exhaust... as they are light and built, as far as racing exhaust are concern, to handle hi exhaust temps... Maybe they can survive to the abuse of a rotary... and maybe not...

    If you want a Kit... go with the Aerocanard or build your Cozy IV fuselage and buy a complete Cozy IV wing kit (canard + wings + winglet (installed) with controls installed and balance) for $15,000, a molded main spar (main wings and spar are predrilled) for $2,500 and their strakes for $2,500 and you are well on your way. Considering that building the entire airframe of a Cozy IV nowadays is about 20K (as I was told).

    My longuest ride on my ZX-6R was 1,500 miles and it was terrible... not the most confortable ride... but this year trip across the US 5,625 miles (in my Miata over 2 weeks) was a once in a life time affaire But gave me a chance to stop in Oshkosh on the way back... this made it all worth while.
