Sales I've seen

Seen today.  Nice repair job on the fuselage.  The original finish appears to be the black UV-blocking primer that was recommended in the early days--that stuff did not stick well but is easy to sand off (in my experience).  Some earlier intel here   https://www.canardzone.com/forums/topic/21972-sales-ive-seen/?do=findComment&comment=66835

Selling my extra Lightspeed Plasma (original version).   I upgraded to Plasma IIIs.  It would work well paired with a magneto, paired with another Plasma, or kept as a spare.  It comes with the manual and wiring diagrams. To use this Plasma, you would need Lightspeed's Hall Effect trigger or either of Lightspeed crank-sensor systems like the Mini-Sensor or the green ring. This Plasma is marked "Hall Effect" but per confirmation from Lightspeed, it works with any of the three trigger systems.  To complete the installation you would need two coils, two RG-400 cables with female BNC connectors, some twisted-pair wire, a 25-pin D-sub and crimp pins, quality plug wires and 18mm auto plugs (Autolite 386, for example) or 14mm Denso/NGK plugs with inserts. The mag-hole Hall Effect sensor is your easiest option.  Klaus checked it last Fall and says it works perfectly.

In operation, these are indistinguishable from the latest model Plasmas. The newer models have some timing-control and monitor options which are not required unless you feel you need to monitor the timing, otherwise they are all good ignitions, easy to setup and time and offer noticeably better cruise performance than a mag. With the Hall Effect trigger, timing is a matter of setting the engine on TDC and rotating the sensor until a green light comes on. You're timed.

I think that's the same EZ as the $37,500 one listed on Barnstormers.  Is it me, or is that priced a bit high, given the smaller engine and dated panel?

[bmckinney10]

The prices have gone up for all planes.  I was offered a similar value several times at Oshkosh last year for my Varieze.  Compare a Cessna 150/152 price from two years ago to today.  Getting close to double the price.

Getting price or asking price?  Regardless, thanks to massive deficit spending and .gov bailouts, inflation will gut-check the economy. I'm waiting for the pendulum to swing back before I buy, as the value is just not there for me.  12-18 months should do it...

It is sad to see EZ's that have been neglected, just rotting away.  They are fantastic flying machines.  I was lucky to find two that had been "put away" for 16-20 years, but were at least stored indoors in decent climates.  I brought the VariEze back to life after 16 years of non-use in late 2020 and have close to 100 hours on it.  The Cozy 3 will be back in the air by this fall after an engine rebuild.  The Long-Ez was flying when I bought it, but is going through a full refurbishment with a repaint job.  There are likely 100's (if not more) of EZ's sitting in hangars or garages all across the country, just waiting for someone to get them flying again.

E-Racer project on B-stormers first listed at $15K, then $7.8K, reduced to $7.3K today.    Probably would have sold it if wasn't such a rare build.  The professionally-build cowls, canard, strakes, winglets and wings look nice.  They are probably worth that to a Long-ez builder.  Retracts, canopy, plans could be sold, I expect

B-stormers:   This looks very repairable but it is hard to value a damaged airplane.  No seller price, either.   The crash was discussed in the Cozybuilder's forum a year or two ago.   I would "insult" the seller with a low bid and go from there.  🙂  More pics in the ad
