Three questions

[kevkevkel]

Q.1. The Long Ez plans show the outer rib of the fuel tank at BL 45 and the remaining section of the strake is then faired to mate with the wing. I used Task strake leading edges and baffles/ribs and got a real good match with the wing. Before fitting the wing top I wish to enquire if anyone ever considered extending the fuel tank out to the end rib (c. BL 55). Is this acceptable Or is there a prohibition on this? Would this have a negative effect on centre of gravity?

Q.2. Way back a long time ago there was an article in either CP or CSA newsletter about using -3 aluminium tubing in the brake lines in place of nylaflow tubing. Since then I have never seen anything about the success or otherwise of the -3 aluminium tubing. Has anyone triode this? Was it successful? Is -3 big enough?

Q.3. I have original brake discs (single puck) on 500/5 wheels. Can I fit double puck brake discs on these wheels? Can anyone provide the reference number and source please.
