Fuselage – Going on and on … and some more …

27 Dec, 2017  in Zenith 2020  tagged Fuselage by Nori

As a wise man advised me earlier, start with the difficult built first so you have time on your hand and there it goes. It’s been almost 40 plus hours and I am still tinkering with Fuselage build. Most of the time was myself stuck with mixer control unit beneath […]

Trip to Corvair College # 41 to learn and run the engine

17 Nov, 2017  in Zenith 2020  tagged Engine by Nori

When the unexpected happens, the fun begins.

Supported by some luck, I was able to acquire a Corvair 2850 CC / 110 HP engine that has 14 hrs on it. Its time to learn more about this engine by attending the upcoming Corvair College # 41 @ Barnwell, SC and have it run on test bed if possible.

Teamed up with Mr Greg Stoner, onwards to go to Barnwell. Amazing trip, great company and some fantastic learnings at this college.

Gained much needed understanding and confidence on how to setup the timing for the engine and arrange the distributor settings. Thanks to all the SME’s (Subject Matter Experts) @ Corvair movement that helped me in this endeavor.

Looking forward for next college @ Barnwell to continue with my student journey in the field of Corvair’s.

See below a quick Video of the Engine Run on Test stand… Sounds great.

Excited to learn about Corvair engine – On my way now to Corvair College CC#39

2 Mar, 2017  in Zenith 2020  tagged Engine by Nori

It’s surreal to see that plane is progressing from ideation to execution – slow but definitely moving ahead. One important component for an experimental LSA is for Builder to be aware of his engine and it’s inner workings and the best part of it is if that engine is an […]

Elevator section – DONEski

19 Dec, 2016  in Zenith 2020  tagged Tail Unit by Nori

After a couple of days of thoughtful assembly practices, I was able to complete the Elevator section in full and sync it up with the Horizontal Stabilizer. I cannot fathom the fact that it would be nearly impossible to complete any Kit plane built with out the right tools. Few tools […]
