Short vs Long LongEz rudders


Radioflyer

Recommended Posts

I know that the long (performance) rudders are preferred in stronger crosswind landings and that they look better. I know that with effort the long rudders can be retrofitted. I have 2 questions concerning how much of a big issue this item should be to me:

 

Would an original short ruddered LongEz be at a "significant" disadvantage compared to the long rudders? For example, can experience overcome the lesser performance rudders?

 

All other details being equal, would a short ruddered EZ command a lower price?

I cannot answer your other question definitively, but I would expect to pay less for a short-ruddered Long-EZ than I would for one with the "high performance" rudders. How much less is as hard to quantify as coming up with a fair price for a used Long-EZ.
