lifewithoutanet Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'm looking for a set of Varieze plans. I'm looking to build on my own, from scratch, but I could potentially buy a low-progress build that includes the plans, if the price is right. Contact me here. Thanks. -C.

Waiter Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Have you considered the LongEZ (OpenEZ) instead of the VariEZ??

lifewithoutanet Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have considered the Long-EZ. In fact, it was the aircraft that inspired me in the first place. Operating albeit w/ some admitted ignorance on my part, my desire for the Varieze over the Long is one of a little bit economics and a little bit...well, purpose. I recently purchased Cozy MKIV plans #1508. I chose the Cozy MKIV (which I was lead to by the Long) based upon the practicality: range, passengers/payload, comfort, cruising speed. And, despite everything I've read warning against this other factor...emotion. I was inspired by the Long EZ and chose to go the canard/composite route, from scratch. But back to "purpose". I'll get the practicality out of the Cozy. The Varieze or Long will be another project...something I can be a little more innovative on, that I can explore a bit more with and take a bit slower. -C.

lifewithoutanet Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Amazing what a little more research will turn up. Found the info on the Open-EZ and the CD from TERF. Looks like I've found essentially what I need. Now I just need to convince the wife (t-minus 3 days) that we need to move the addition to the house/garage up by a year... Thanks. -C.

Waiter Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Good Deal; I don't think building a Long takes significantly more time then a Vari. IMHO, To get the maximum return on my investment (time and money) I would build the Long.
