Hello Izzy, Hello group, I fly my Lyc O-235 VE with a RV Filtered Air box. http://buildingrv10.blogspot.com/2014/08/filtered-air-box.html Ok. No problem. They know this problem and provided some

Those cone filters are pretty large. Removing it probably allowed a lot more air to flow and perhaps it was oriented in a way that was blocking flow to #2 a bit more than others. #2 runs hot on the

I was with my Dad over DC (or maybe NYC) in 1986 flying IFR in a Mooney M20E with Power Boost (RAM air) active (engine is FI IO-360). The engine started running really rough and we stopped producing

Mike, that will go out today. Remember, this isn't my idea. I just copy stuff off the fastest LongEZ on the planet whenever I get a chance. Also, I copied the airfoil template onto Formica for

Thinking about span-wise flow and the vortex it creates as it meets the symmetric airfoil trailing edge fence (is it still a "fence" if it has an airfoil shape?), if one really wanted to getnit-picky

Good morning Bob, my address is 36432 Sherwood St. Livonia, MI 48154. Thanks you! Does the airfoil shape help in the flight characteristics of the plane? Sincerely, Mike Scovel SE

Maybe I am missing something, but aileron balance has nothing to do with the two ailerons weighing the same, but everything to do with each aileron balancing trailing edge up. Phil Kriley

<since I've never heard of an instance of this beyond the latest Jet EZ crash)> It had nothing to do aileron flutter.. RZ

I'd guess fuel injection would not either .... Got to wonder, if a large number of people got together, and approached the FI mfgs for a quantity price, just what type of price might be

A pretty smart aero guy told me that aileron balance isn't that important because of the interconnect between the two ailerons unlike elevators. Personally, I've never been that curious to find out

That is what my main bird is, a 66 Mooney M20E (a Super 21). I can get another 5 or 6 knots switching to the ram air. Sadly, it wasn't so much bypassing the filter though, as bypassing a poorly

I remember in the mid to late ‘60s when I learned to fly, Mooney had a plane called the super 21. It was basically the M20C with, I think, with a fuel injected Lycoming. It had a control that when

Aviatingfool, I had the exact same experience when I tried that with a carb. Someone said that only happens with carb's with a throttle pump. The reasoning is that the air somehow blows into that

I have 7/16" steel rods on the ailerons on my LEZ. I recall the original balance spec was somewhere between the bottom and top surfaces of the ailerons being horizontal when hung from the hinge line.

Mike, I can't remember where I got that airfoil. A friend laser cut the template. You want I'll copy that and the profile onto paper for you and send it if you gimmie an address. Mr. Caliper shows the

Hi Bob, I had never seen one like that before. Where did you get the template for that? Sincerely, Mike Scovel SE Michigan VariEze Mbl (313) 608-7202 Email ezdriver@...
