| Subject: | Esqual Nose Wheel Leg |
Hi All,
I dinged my nosewheel leg 8-( and hope that someone may have an undamaged one
laying around, collecting dust. I know that I probably should convert to the
Lightning style leg, but thought I'd give it one shot to find an exact replacement.
Also, If you have an original Esqual nosewheel pant, that would be a bonus.
Thanks for any help in getting me back in the air.
Jim Cerovich

Jim,
I somewhat agree with your idea which should be a simple bolt in
replacement. If you can't find that though, you should consider the
Lightning leg, wheelpant, and cowling. It is a more expensive route
but you'll see improvements in speed, fuel burn, cooling, and
everybodies favorite, looks. Just a thought. Brian W.

Gentlemen:
Someone on the list suggested contacting Skygeek.com for a tow bar for a
lightning using a RV type.
Went on the site and there were multiple tow bars for RV's.
Would that listening person send the RV tow bar model that can be used on
our Lightning's. Your assistance would be appreciated.
Sending this information off list would be fine.
Thanks,
Ray Gage

Hi Malcolm,
I am sure you are correct about the lighter gross being for the
European VLA market. But did the two have different central beam assemblies?
I
certainly don't know, but if they do, then I would caution anyone to be
sure exactly which central beam version you have.
How is your "jet" doing, by the way? I haven't flown much during this
really bad winter we had, but spring is here now, so things should pick
up. I have close to 645 hours on my Esqual LS now. Jabiru engine is still
purring along nicely. Over twice the speed of my Cub on the same fuel burn.
Love it.
You going to make it to Oshkosh?
Blue skies,
Buz

Hi Buz,
I might be quite wrong but my understanding is that the lighter gross
weight is for the European VLA standard of 460 kgs. None of these 460 kg
aircraft came into Australia and I would assume the US. Can't remember whether
it's 450 or 460.
The VLA version had longer and lighter wings and only 1 fuel tank and a
smaller useful load as I understand it. At least that was the case when I
bought mine. The 2 different versions were made for Europe(460hg VLA) and the
US (560 kg) Someone with more knowledge might be able to correct me or fill
in the gaps.

Folks,
If you own a GRT Sport EFIS, it looks like they upgraded it with the synth
etic vision and moving maps. I think I read it was a $1200 upgrade. Is
this true? Has anyone upgraded theirs yet?
If so, any comments pro or con would be appreciated
Thanks
