WellsEngineering Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 After doing a lot of reasearch here and a few other places its looking more and more difficult to justify the expense of having the RAF plans, especially since the serial number is meaningless. Odds are any build I do will be from the OpenEZ project which at the moment is still a straight copy of the raf plan anyways. Thanks for the advice, if you want to sell those cd's let me know. I noticed they are no longer on ebay, where I read you could get them for half price! Thats kindof annoying, I dont want to pay full price for something the company has in the past let go for half. If anyone has the TERF CD's for sale, let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Carriger Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hi All, I was in the process of archiving a "master" high-resolution set of Defiant plans from the three original used sets that I have, as well as all my Rutan plans. Unfortunately, we just sustained a major flood in our home and lost almost everything. A few years ago, a gentleman on the forum contacted me about an original set that he had; he stated that it was in excellent condition and had it stored inside a case. If that person is still out there, please contact me off list. My personal email is D dot Carriger at me dot com (D.Carriger@me.com). I also had original plans and templates, in excellent condition, for the LongEZ, VariEze, and Solitaire. My goal was to archive all the Rutan plans for the education of all interested. I am again searching for these plans too, along with an original set of VariViggen plans. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you all in advance, Duane Carriger Noblesville, IN Berkut #032 (317) 379-7207 (three one seven, three seven nine, seven two zero seven) D.Carriger@me.com (D dot Carriger at me dot com) 2 Quote Duane CarrigerBerkut #032Kit A, Chapters #3 & 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Matcho Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Duane, let's talk how we might combine our efforts. I am into the same process for the Defiant as well (Open-EZ Twin or "The Deviant"). Sorry to hear about your flood. Was anything spared? 1 Quote Jon Matcho Builder & Canard Zone Admin Now: Rebuilding Quickie Tri-Q200 N479E Next: Resume building a Cozy Mark IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Carriger Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Jon & All, Very little was spared. We lost almost everything. One of the local restoration services is trying to save the plans and templates, personal keepsakes, family photos, etc. We will find out over the next 2-3 weeks as to what they were able to save. My hope and my want is that they will be able to restore a good portion of it. They were trying to explain some of their techniques and new innovations available to them today, but with everything going on, their preservation process went in one ear and out the other. Currently, our home has been stripped down to the studs and sub-floor. They are drying it out and will be performing mold treatments on the structure later this week. Regarding the collaboration, I would be happy to work with you on this. We can take this offline to continue the discussion further. Thank you all for the sentiments. It is much appreciated.

Jon Matcho Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Take care of the important stuff first Duane -- no pressure or worries about anything in the canard world. It will be here when you get back.
