Quick intro

[Davek]

Hello everyone,

I've been bitten by a very strange bug lately, and I'm hoping someone out there has the cure! I think Canards are just the coolest thing since sliced bread!

All my fellow 172 drivers think I'm off my rocker (A aircraft with the word "experimental" on it? No thanks!).

Well, I'm on board with the whole build it your self thing (don't get me started on gyro-copters... Way cool too!)

 

Anywho,

I'd like to ask everyone out there a few "new guy" questions;

 

First, has anyone checked out the Veri-Viggin for sale on E-bay?

Next, I'm 6'7" tall (230 lbs). Has any one tried to shoe horn someone of my size in say, a long-ez?

 

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Weight is no problem and Todd Silver sells tall canopies. Rudder pedals can be extended fairly easily. Even an unfinished project can be modified to fit. Download the OpenEZ plans on this site and start building. There's a sticky about it.
