Airdog77

Welcome to the building of Long-EZ N916WP! This video is an overview of the build tasks I've completed over the past few months and some of the specific components and features of my Long-EZ build.
In addition, the video ends with me engaging the nose gear to lift the nose from the "grazing" position that the fuselage is on all three wheels for the first time in the life of this aircraft.
I hope you enjoy it.
- Cheers!

Great to show us your project, very inspirational and helpful to continue on our projects. You've got some advanced ideas incorporated into your Long EZ.

Thanks Sirvando. Good to know my videos are helpful. Good luck on your project!

Great to see all the details. Enjoyable to have the walk around - thanks! Excellent workmanship. Well done.

I loved the walkthrough Wade (it reminds me how far behind I still am), and congratulations on the first raising of the nose, it's looking great.

+Crivo152 Thanks Brother. She's getting there. Slow but steady, eh?

[@mackdlite5900]

Hi Crivo152 how is your long ez build going?

[@EZ_shop]

@@mackdlite5900 I wish I could say I had gotten as far as Wade has. Truth is, after acquiring JT (flying LongEZ) I have spent the last four years making it a better, more capable airplane, and haven't done much work on my own project. When you are finished watching Wade's videos hop on to Crivo152 on KZbin to see my latest work on JT.

Marc - Little correction, Ken Miller did not design the Adjustable rudder pedals. I did. Ken has bought the system from me.

[@wade-airdog7730]

Hi Dale, yeah I corrected that on my website.... didn't remember it being in the video. -Wade

Wade, You have one lovely project! Very organized. Also everything is clean! I am starting to build a Long. Was building the roll bar pretty straight forward?

[@wade-airdog7730]

Thanks for the kind words Trystyn! There is a bit of a "standard version," if you will, of the 4130 steel roll bar that a lot of builders make & install in their Long-EZs. I would consider mine more of a one off version since it's my own design. Fairly straight forward? Yes. Time consuming? Definitely yes! (Plan on a considerable increase in build time for a 4130 roll bar... definitely worth it in my book though!)

Wade - Airdog77 Makes perfect since, thank you!

Hey Wade! Greetings from India. Can you please share your mail id so that I can write to you in detail?

Question: What was the approximate weight as she was in this video ?

[@wade-airdog7730]

Not sure how much it weighed at this exact point. I'd estimate as shown in the video with fuselage, gear and wheel assemblies at around 150 lbs. That's a swag. Estimated final weight is just over 1000 lbs.

Where did you buy the kit

[@wade-airdog7730]

Hi. It's not a kit, but rather an airplane built from plans. Some parts can be bought pre-made, like the gear struts and the engine cowlings, but nearly all the rest is hand built.

[@wernerhoerning2230]

será que consigo comprar o projeto ? alguem pode me sugerir.

[@wade-airdog7730]

Hi Werner, sorry the project is not for sale. I would check Barnstormers for any projects available to buy. Thanks for watching!
