 |
|
I have ordered a set to these seat adjustment levers and one broke on
first test use. They have a week spot where the lever attached to the
lift pin for the seat adjustment. I sent it back to Greg, with no
questions asked he acknowledged the problem, designed a fix and sent me
a new set. I haven't tried the new ones yet but they look much better.
Just be sure not to lift the handle too far and advise your passengers
not to either.
It's great to work with people like Greg.

Incorrect engine mount bolts, an engine mount that doesn't leave enough
space for the engine and now a seat adjustment lever which breaks off.
Hey Deems, what movie did you end up seeing the other night.
John Cox, I am not passing over a safety issue, just hoping to install a
different engine. Unfortunately can't change the seats out. I am a little
perplexed about why this stuff is happening.

The seat has a modification from the factory. There is nothing wrong
with the seats as delivered, it is when you modify them and extend the
lever out front that there is an issue.

I also have these on order can you verify if they are hollow 1/2" tube
or solid bar stock?

Word from another more advanced builder (EH) was they are just too swamped at VANS to make the simple mods. That's good news for everyone... Right? In their defense, they are alway (well almost) willing to help builders complete a safe and exciting aircraft. You would not understand what hoops they have to jump through.
Having written FAA Approved training manuals and finding a single word in the regs that was written incorrectly, I learned that it took two years and $400,000 to change published documents into the correct legaleze. ONE SINGLE WORD. No one likes a reality check.
Just wait until carbon fiber replacement canopies with close tolerance door fitment, wingtips that fit the first time, aerodynamic wheelpants with 30% less frontal area and speed fairings are offered - After market. Just like the Wholly Cowl, if you build an improved product, a properly functioning marketplace will wear a grooved path to your door. It is all about market driven QC. Make it better, make it safer, make it quicker, make it cheaper, make it easy to locate. Then tell Tim about it. This list has been instrumental in moving the mountain one yard at a time in the best of all directions. Towards safe flight.
John G, I have a record with several builders of helping with those Alternate engines choices. I even foster passion for a new engine cowl which will tackle other Lycoming variants. Just make sure the quality or safety is not compromised in the pursuit of improvement. Keep us informed. On the seat handle issue, I know Mike Dennis and he will not leave testing and product improvement to sit idle. Tell Oregon Aeroa about Greg Hales mousetrap.
