FCFIV Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I recently inherited my grandfathers veri-eze. He passed away last month. Some of you on the forum might have known him. His name was Fergus Fay. He finished his plane in '79. He knew the Rutan's well and worked on the Voyager project. I flew to Oshkosh with him twice in the eze when I was a kid. He introduced me aviation, taught me how to fly, and I now work for Southwest. The plane has not flown for about five years, but has been in a hangar the whole time. I plan on going through the whole thing and flying it for many years to come. Look forward to getting back into general aviation and participating on this forum. P.S. This might show up as 2nd post. The first one I tried didn't show up. Quote

Kent Ashton Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Yeah, the Vari is getting more press these days. Did you know that Gary Hertzler can get down to something like 3.5 gallons per hour with his Vari. Very efficient design. Nice that your grandfather kept it in the family. -Kent Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold
