Inspired by rsrguy’s phenomenal airframe work, I decided to say “[emoji1596]” to working on more wall crap and spent the day working on a small VariEZ project.
Continued work on my rudimentary heat shields for additional protection for the fiberglass landing gear and Nyla-flow brake lines. I personally know three folks than have had brake issues with with the LongEZ since the brakes are small and easily overheated if you are not careful. Our VariEZ has the upgraded LongEZ gear and larger brakes. I still will be mindful of landing speeds and run out, so hopefully it will help.[emoji1695][emoji1695][emoji1695][emoji1695][emoji1695]
Last night

And then today

Since I don’t have a bandsaw, I had to think “outside da box” on shaping the 1/8” aluminum.
Cheers,
