lifewithoutanet Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hey, folks. I'm looking for information on any active pilots or any Canard groups in Colorado. I'm in the Denver area, but I'm willing to travel to any gatherings. Searches on "Denver" didn't turn up a whole lot in the context I was looking for. Any help? -C.

Strider Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Well there aren't any official canard groups in the Denver area, and I don't know of any EAA Chapters that are particularly supportive of weirdos who fly backwards, plastic airplanes ... but we're considering at least starting an "inclusive" annual canard get-together of some kind. It seems now that Rick Maddy may not continue his famous annual Colorado Cozy Barbecue. Did your search turn up Rob with his VariEze based at Metro, our VariEze based on Longmont Airport, or Bob or Ion with their Long-EZ's at Longmont, or Lee and Don with their Long-EZ's up in Greeley? There are also Burrall and a coupla others down at Meadowlake near Colorado Springs. If you would like to go for a ride, I'd be happy to oblige. Here is a picture of our plane, while we were on our way back from Oshkosh this year: http://www.vigilanceaero.com/Mankato_MN07.jpg Talk to you soon, Curt and Gail VariEze N111JK and Cozy plans# 872 Boulder, CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifewithoutanet Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Curt and Gail, Thanks for the response. I actually just got back from the EAA ch301 meeting out at Centennial. I spoke to a few guys there, one in particular (John L.) who gave me some great information. He mentioned a few names and one person who recently bought an in-progress Long-EZ and plans. Their names escape me now, though. I'd love to take you up on that offer for a ride! She's a beauty! -C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I've been pretty busy lately, and haven't flown for about two weeks. So I need to go up again soon. Last time I was up, I did rolls for the first time! I need to go up again Solo and do some more. Otherwise, when would you be able to get up to Longmont Airport? I usually like to fly in the mornings, and if it's cooler like today anytime from 9:00 to noon would work. Afternoon flying is often rather bumpy. BTW, did you get an email through Canard Forums that I sent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifewithoutanet Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hey, Curt. I got your Email, but I'm guessing you didn't get my response. I'll try sending it again. In the meantime...hell yeah, I can make it up to Longmont. Just name the day and I'm there. Mornings work fine. Really appreciate your help. Look for an Email from me shortly. -C.
