Wild guess that we are seeing the work of a second owner (who can't spell "AeroCanard"). Maybe a third owner can beautify it. The flat nose is pretty ugly and it would hinder adding & removing ballast in the nose which is necessary. Pretty hard to work on a nose-lift device through those small access hatches. Holes for the aileron torque tubes are drilled through the centerspar versus where they normally go (pic). Not deadly but not cool either. Torque tube seems to block the side of the fuselage where a storage area is normally cut-out and there is no cutout in the front-cockpit either. It could all be fixed if the original work is sound. Noses can be cutoff and rebuilt. He probably has $10K-$15K in material at this point.

Ive used West System on boats why is it notable for a Canopy? Stake made but Task, not built by an individual. Pretty sure they're just telling you West was the epoxy used, so you know the material choice. Someone will come in if it's more important than that...

I know @Jon Matcho is working on digitizing, verifying, and making available the Defiant plans in the same manner as the Open-EZ. I found an electronic copy of the plans minus the templates, which are really important to have printed accurately. From a couple of conversations I've had, it sounds like building a Defiant is roughly twice the time and cost of building a Long-EZ. It's pretty darn big for a homebuilt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found an electronic copy of the plans minus the templates, which are really important to have printed accurately. Yep, but better than the initial Open-EZ setup. More like how the Quickie plans were put together (with proper rulers). The Defiant plans have 'actual size' drawings sprinkled throughout, so the scaling and accuracy is important. Thanks for the mention -- Open-EZ improvements are still in the queue after a bunch of Forum housekeeping.
