SULLY_H60 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I found my project! Long-Eze with main wings, canard (orig), fuselage,strakes gear (main and nose), canopy (2 one custom built other featherlight) inst panel started as well as flight controls all in final layup ready for assembly and finish. Still have to mount winglets and a lot of wiring, sanding, painting, rigging etc. My guess is 50 -65 % complete. Also found O-235 engine cowl (featherlite) as well as NACA duct, wheel pants assorted fairings and aluminum spinner. Full set of plans I & II (transnfering registration with RAF for CP notification) as well as backup plans section I, II. Planning on a O-235 Lyc or possibly a Franklin O-235 if it can be done! Thanks Norris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Matcho Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I found my project!Congratulations! Was the project listed anywhere? I couldn't help but looking at projects for the past couple months, so I'm curious. ...Long-Eze...Now that you're an official builder, you better know how to spell your plane: Long-EZ How about some pictures for all of us that are green w/envy? Best wishes and warp speed to finish.

SULLY_H60 Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 Thanks Jon, In all the excitement I tacked on the extra E. I found it listed on Barnstormers and the listing was 50 minutes old, immediatly called and drove the next day with checkbook in hand. I lucked out since the Army had me in Alabama for some courses and that happened to place w/in a few hours drive of the location. The owner was kind enough to hold it for thirty days untill I could grab it with a moving truck on my way back to NY. I will take some pics and post them when I do the inventory next week. The other parts I found on Barnstormers as well and same deal called w/in hours of the add and secured them, picked them up in PA on my drive back. Again another great guy that held them for a month. I have to do another one year hop in Afghanistan so I will probably get started next summer. Thanks again Sully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
