Dear Canardians, I am trying to install the roll trim on my long ez. On the slotted portion of RT-1 a compression spring hold the trim. I'm hoping someone knows of a good idea to compress the

I was reading through the NTSB reports that referenced canards or cozy or long ez, etc.... A very interesting read. I came across

Scott, If this is the accident I think it is, it happened a long time ago and the pilot was Jeanna Yeager. She landed, I believe, on I-5 up north of Sacramento. It probably was around the time

I have some headsets, Peltor but they are without jacks and I need some drawings to get these operative again The headsets are in good conditions exept for the jacks. Is some canardians out there

Dear Canardians, What is the best way to bend piano wire? Maybe more to the point, a way an average person working in a garage would bend piano wire. Thanks Ron Larock

I am building a Berkut and we use 1/4 lift tabs and 3/8 inch bolts. I have seen the 1/8 lift tabs on the Long and they look too thin for me. Wayne Peterson

To answer your forst question yes use slurry on all parts of the instrument panel. The second part about cutting the holes in the instrument panel, I waited until I had the instruments and was

Neil, As stated by other canardians, and as determined by Rutan, the cause of the Banning accident was flutter inducted by an out of balance and/or overweight elevator(s). Checking your elevator

So do I. The slurry is there to improve the bond between the glass lay up and the foam, using pure resin only, tends to add weight but more importantly the viscocity is lower so it can sometimes tend

Oops, I fat fingered my original message. I'm looking for an article on calibrating an altimeter. I have an article on using a manometer for airspeed. Thanks, Steve rothert

the found I believe that this accident was a case of flutter of some out-of-balance elevators. I don't think the tabs had anything to do with it. If the flutter is severe, pieces come off.

Has anyone come across any articles recently on calibrating your airspeed indicator. I have an article on calibrating an altimeter using a manomenter. Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve

To All Looking at putting in a Grand Rapids Advanced EIS multi function monitor in a VariEze. Anyone have some experience or opinions about the system. Thanks Mike

Morning canard heads, Gary and gang, this stuff sure sounds like a butt saver in a worse case situation. If my tail is on fire, frozen ailerons are my least worry at that point. Rudder and elevators
