scottieshea Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Greetings all! Anyone in the greater Tidewater area building a composite canard? I know that the EAA Chapters would be hip to this knowledge, however, I figure that this can't hurt. Also, I know that there are at least 3 Long-EZ's flying in the area, and probably more that I am unaware of, but is there anyone that I can throw (give) gas money to for a couple laps in the pattern? I just got plans and while I won't be able to start my build for a little while, I'd like to see how well these fly and handle. Since I can't afford a RV-4 or RV-8, this is the next best thing (if nothing else, economically WAY better) Thanks again and I hope to have some sort of report at some point with the local pilots! -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
