Long-EZ N916WP - Another Project Update
The building of Long-EZ N916WP. I wanted to provide another project update before I flip the fuselage inverted to shape and glass the bottom strake skins. In this video I cover some miscellaneous finished build tasks, but primarily focus on the completed instrument panel and aft nose/avionics cover... two very significant milestones in this project.
Be advised that I do cover pretty much every component on the panel, so fast forward through that section if you don't want to see all that.

Long EZ N916WP - Strake and Fuel Tank Info
มุมมอง 7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The building of Long-EZ N916WP. In this video I provide a general overview and information on my strake, fuel tank and baggage area construction specific to my build. In addition, I provide some ancillary information on my onboard video cameras used for monitoring the fuel site gages and aft engine area during flight.
Plasma Cutting Troubleshooting

Video for Langmuir Systems guys for troubleshooting plasma cutting issues.
Great work. Im building a long eze as well and enjoy following your customization decisions and build execution.
Comfort and improved storage space. Very impressed with this next Gen build great work, wishing mine had all that.
I have heard for a long while that building your own aircraft is a tedious process that takes years to complete. If you had to give the biggest reasons as to why, what would you say?
Nice work. Went to watch updated videos but I found none. Is she flying?
How much would cost for interior refurbish , oxygen tank, new avionics and a paint job ?
Great workmanship , looks 1st class. Thanks for your tips and over-all information.
Thanks!
Very nice, you must have invested a big roll of $$$$ in this baby 🙂
Not bad when you spread it out over a long number of years! :)
thank you for sharing this cool video, oh yes, are all materials made of carbon fiber?
Thanks... no, most of this build is Rutan fiberglass: bidirectional and Uni-directional.
Looks great. Why the four forward camlocks? Dont the goose neck hinges hold well enough?
The aft nose cover is fairly light and I didn't want any wind getting up under the front part of it. With only the hinges attached there is a good bit of movement, especially left to right, so I wanted to ensure it was tight... especially during flight.
To my way of thinking he's doing the build backwards. I've built two Long EZ's and my hard fast rule is to not even THINK about panel, upholstery, etc. until ALL the glassing and bodywork is done through finished and sealed primer. I built my first Long EZ in 23 months while I was working full time at my regular job.
How many hours did you have into your build?
@@kevinhale1036 About 2,500 hours to build a LE start to finish including final paint. I'm building a third one now. ALL the bodywork and priming is done except for gluing on the winglets which I'll be doing this weekend.
Nice work. Where did you get those Korry lights above the GRT?
Thanks! pcflights.com/
The worst case of tank condensation I've ever seen , nothing but water. :) .... nice build.
Haha... thanks!!
The beauty of these tanks is condensation isn't even an issue. Funny comment though.
I m poor person . But your project is awesome
You can build Composite aircraft pretty cheap. Look up the Arnold AR-5. No plans available, but something similar probably only costs $5,000 in materials plus engine and instruments. There were small homebuilt running on Briggs & Stratton lawn-mower engines (25-35hp). A small lightweight 300lb/150kg design with 30hp might work pretty good. Probably Less than $10,000 for all new components, including motor.
Thanks! That's one reason why I built a composite plans airplane vs a kit.... you can buy a little bit of material each month to build.
Great work Wade. Can't wait to see it in person.
Thanks!
I miss the engine in the front 😆😆😆😆😆
No Sir!! ;)
LL100 avgas 6.03lbs per gallon , h20 8.34 lbs per gallon...
Keep in mind water doesn’t have the same weight or volume / density as fuel.. especially ll100.... look into that info for accurate measurements ..
Thanks... yeah, just checking for leaks in general. Will do verified 100LL fill points and flow tests.
Brilliant work. You can see the years of thought that have gone into making a very smart series of tweaks to personalize the airplane.
Thanks Dave!
Seats and headrests look great, panel looks great and the avionics cover looks really useful, interesting lights switch setup, and interesting to hear about the emergency gear extension. Love seeing and hearing about your build as always and all the best on the flip and glassing of the bottom.
Thanks Chris!
A lot of details and interesting info in this one. Thanks! I was wondering why this didn't show up in my home feed until I noticed this isn't on the channel with most of the other videos.
Thanks for the response Chris.... yeah, I'm not sure what it going on with my YT channel. It won't let me upload to my Airdog77 channel and keeps kicking me over here. I'll try to throw them all into a playlist soon when I get a chance.
@@wade-airdog7726 Ah I see. I wonder if it has anything to do with TH-cam's "switch accounts" choice. I know I have one account separate from my personal one to be able to have a different channel name on TH-cam.
