I Googled COBA website. It came up with: Correction Officers Benevolent Association. Couldn't find any EZ pictures. --

Jose, Yes, my prototype design does recognise the ram-air plenum pressure of our updraft NACA scoop systems. I don't have a photo right now but the internal flow with the ram-air doors open is

Hi Del Are you using a Lycoming prop governor cover plate or a home made plate? When I converted my IO 360 A1A to a fixed pitch prop I made a cover plate from 1/8 inch thick 2024. It would leak after

Jose, good question. On my 360 LE there wasn't enough room for the 3/4" high flange (that bolts to the Ellison) with the NACA so the flange is just part of the top of the box and the 4 bolts that

Bob, thanks for those helpful pictures. Your design is a custom made version of the Van's FAB to deal with the little issues I've been dealing with. For example, I can see that you've designed-in an

I've made 8 or 10 of these over the years. It ain't rocket science. They contain a 6" X 2" K&N filter. At least half the work is doing the carb heat so if you have FI it's lots quicker to make. --

Sorry guys, that email was meant for Jose. My access is limited, so I could not do it for all.

I have some access to 3D printers at Brandeis. If you can get the coordinate file, I might be able to print it for you. --Joel

Mike, Thanks for the photo of your prototype. 3D prototyping to the rescue! It looks very interesting and helpful to see. I guess once a few feet off the ground flying, one could safely bypass the

Jose, All, Here's something that I was playing with . It needs to be transformed into an ally 90 deg. curved box (flat sided as shown) grafted onto a 2 1/2" dia tube (for SCAT hose) at the input end

With my first LE when I changed from the plans version to a proper carb mounted air box I picked up 100 RPM static. The power difference was noticeable. Also a few more HP because of the ram effect.

The per-plans engine air filter/induction setup is said to be restrictive, robbing the engine of power producing air. (I'm referring to the firewall mounted air filter.) I've been playing with

I'm considering installing an RCB (Ryz Chest Beater) alert system in addition to my FHC. It's installed in the back seat and consists of a magazine on an arm that slaps the back of my head when I

We have this discussion almost every year ! ck-lists vs safety circuits... In the immortal words of a past president, TRUST BUT VERIFY..... In another realm, of

Same here, Nate. I've owned six EZ's and all but one didn't have the canopy warning horn. My canopy is either all the way open or all the way closed and latched. The Long EZ I bought 4 months ago does

Yup. If your warning system is going off, especially on a regular basis, you're doing it wrong! Short of mechanical/electrical failure, one should take that personally as a "pilot failure"

Dave you bring up a great point. Some will see the Micro switch as a parachute. Personally I believe all humans tend to take the path of least resistance and will tend to rely on those safety nets

Exactly NO ONE here, including me, has advocated warning systems over training or checklists. (please read that again) I even implicitly stated such. Why you seem to think that they are exclusive
