IOL-200 Cylinder

Hey Guys

Oh the things that you find in Mojave.  We were jamming on an EZ that is getting ready to leave for Oshkosh last night and found this IOL-200 cylinder (see below) in a corner of the hanger.  To be fair, it was Dick's hangar and the EZ was Old Blue, one of the round the world EZ's.  But nonetheless, its cool that the other 4 in existence are in a little museum in the capital.

Makes me feel like a weenie for the silly mods we do to our O-200s in the formula class.

Disney Planes and the leaked photograph

Hey Guys

The photo below got leaked on Facespace yesterday by an intern on the airport (Sam Bartell).  The photo shows more than we'd like, sooner than we'd like, but whatever.  Enjoy.



A little more detail on that day, the photo was taken when we were doing an audio recording for the upcoming Planes movie.  Rob Nokes of Sound Dogs is doing the sounds for the upcoming Disney Planes movie.  Rob has come out several times to record our aircraft and several others here at Mojave.  There are some pictures of that below.  Big thanks to all the folks at Mojave who flew for Rob!  And we are excited about the upcoming movie.

Long EZ Cooler Exhaust Notes

Hey Guys,

I was in my archives for some other stuff and found this gem.  The excerpt focuses on aft facing sugar scoops as installed for oil cooling exhaust on Long EZs.  As you know this is a trouble spot on not only Long EZs but most pusher configured aircraft.  This is out of the Long EZ build notes.  Wasabi was able to verify these findings last year in flight test.
