Ghost-Rider II Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Just purchased a 40%completed VariEz project. Never done any glasswork, but looking forward to the challenge. If there are any So. FLA Canard builders out there, please let me know.

Jon Matcho Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Ghost, welcome! VariEze discussion is most welcome here. To find Florida members here, use the Member Search feature, and do multiple searches on Location for: miami; florida; FL; etc. I found a few in Miami, and several in Florida. The best database of Canard builders and flyers is available at http://www.cozybuilders.org/mail_list There are mostly Cozy builders there, but again, that's the best maintained database of canard builders (and their locations) that I know of. See the attached image for the approximate number of mailing list members in your area. Speaking of Miami, how's the weather? My sister moved to Clearwater recently, and just bought her first set of plywood "shutters" today.

Ghost-Rider II Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Jon, Thanks for the info on the other builders in my area. I found a fellow Varieze owner in Ft. lauderdale via EZ.org, but I was hope to find others closer. Thanks again.

Jon Matcho Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 The Central States Association, managed by Terry Schubert is another great source... over 900 members with addresses as well. That membership was born from VariEzes and Long-EZs, so you must join. I'm sure there's some overlap between the 3 groups I mentioned.

Ghost-Rider II Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Jon, Thanks for the info on CSA, that looks like a newsletter worth joining. FYI, I looked at your web page, and I am looking forward to following your progress. I am taking a class on FrontPage, so I can create a Web page of my own because I have been told that if it’s detailed it can serve as a log when it comes time to register the aircraft. Do you have any info on this? Thanks, Ghost. P.S. If your wondering, Ghost-Rider I was a boat.

Jon Matcho Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I am taking a class on FrontPage, so I can create a Web page of my own because I have been told that if it’s detailed it can serve as a log when it comes time to register the aircraft. Do you have any info on this?A well-structured Web site is entirely suitable for a builders log, considering some builder's logs are just pencilled notebooks (or marked up plans, etc). I intend for my Web site to be my builders log. The only other document I may present, although I don't think I'll be asked for it, is my time log that I maintain in a spreadsheet. Let me know when you have your site ready and I can create some space for you here. FrontPage is great with a FrontPage-enabled server -- just push a button and your site is updated and published. If your wondering, Ghost-Rider I was a boat.I actually was, as well as having Ghost Riders In The Sky going through my head...
