Ryan's Moose

Post by Jim Cole » Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:05 am

Hi Ryan, I wanted to thank you for your hospitality on Tuesday and once
again I'm sorry for the short notice but as you know I didn't know when
I could get away from the conference.
The airport in Abbotsford was great and the weather was certainly better
than Ontario.
I'm sure that you get lots of visitors since you're so close to the
factory and they don't have a demo.
Your Moose is quite impressive and it was a pleasure to meet you. If you
would like me to post a photo from the video I shot let me know. I also
hope to be able to post a short video clip on my web site early next
week for those who are interested in hearing that "round engine" fire up
and seeing the Moose taxi to the fuel pumps. (If anyone in the group
would like an 'WMV" file e-mailed to you directly let me know off line)
It certainly got my adrenaline going!

Looking at the finished plane raised a couple of questions for me though
and made me wonder if my manual is really out of date.
- my manual calls for 4 hinges on the rear spar (unless I'm reading it
wrong) and Ryan clearly had more than that on his wing? Is my manual an
old one or what?
- the manual also calls for 3 bays of the wing to be wet - with the 4th
rib being a 173 and the end of the tank. It really doesn't seem to be 40
gallons.? I could still go one more bay without getting into the strut etc.

Cheers

Jim,

The pleasure was mine. Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to see the
video clip if you would - I'll try not to get too emotional about it.

I would go all the way on the tanks without getting into the strut - I
think that gives you 100 gallons - should ask Robin of MAM to get
clarification on the tank and manual.

I get about 85 gallons usable with 5 that I can not get out of the
wings, total 90.
