I don't think you can find an EZ much cheaper than this.  I has not flown since 2006 (yikes, 18 years!) but what the heck.  Only 105 hours since some sort of overhaul.  Get the logs, figure what was done to the engine. Maybe it will be flyable with minimal work (or no work).  You hope it was hangared.  If so it could be a great buy.

A previously-flying TriQ for $3,000, including VW engine

Looks like it's been disassembled and some animals made their home inside...

Not a TriQ but a Dragonfly. Similar types, but different aircraft.

I saw this. The line about gross weight bothers me. 

Also, what did extending each wing 20" do to the stall? Is the front going to stall early enough from the rear to have a proper safety margin? 

It's interesting, but those things kind of scare me away from it.

Greetings all! I have a Long-EZ for sale as well as a Cozy MK project - see photos. Located in NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

I have no engine or aircraft logs. Engine will need to be rebuilt.

Asking prices are NEGOTIABLE- will accept and entertain ALL offers.

1989 Long-EZ - $39,500

Been sitting in the hanger for 10+ years.

Electric nose gear - needs attention - currently stuck in up position.

Landing gear (wheels/brakes) need attention

Last flown around 2011-ish

Lycoming 160hp

Clean interior

Clean exterior

I aquired this plane and have only bill of sale - this plane would be great for experienced builder or engine mechanic.

Cozy MK - $15,500

Aquired this and have no build documents. Looks to be 50% complete.

See photos.

Lots more photos at the link.  The Long-EZ is N775AM.  The Cozy is a mostly-structurally-complete, with the nose/canopy/turtledeck needing some work still, and of course engine and instruments.

 

[zolotiyeruki]

Gee whiz, it's a busy day for projects.  This one's a mostly-complete airframe for $5k:

Seeing discussion of this EZ on FB.  As usual, lots of B.S. there.   It took a couple searches to find it, apparently near Santa Ynez, CA.  https://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N41AN.html  

      Looks nice but the pic is old,  I'm guessing $20-25K would be a fair price.

Huge opportunity to save many thousands of dollars and years and years of building!

For sale: My Aerocanard SX (mold built Cozy MK IV with larger rear seat), Serial # 50 unfinished, unregistered kit.

It is Close to painting stage.

Fully IFR with electric actuating and self-locking FHC, electric trim and electric auto-retract landing brake. Wings/canard/ spar by Oeleman. Wilhelmson Electric nose gear, liquid (water or oil) cabin heat.

This project is currently set up for a converted Mazda Renesis rotary engine utilizing Real World PRSU and electronics with a C/S 3 blade Magnum Ivoprop. Being composite it can be somewhat easily converted to a powerplant with cylinders. If so, it will need a new cowl.

I am selling it with or without the engine, engine mount, prop, engine electronics fuel pumps and cooling/oil system.

It is located in my heated hanger at ENW, (Kenosha Wisconsin) Where I was building it. (never below 50* since birth.)

Pix and stats available if interested

Interested please contact me at 312/848-5755—lets talk!

This is a repost, but I think it's a price drop:  Most of the fiberglass work done on an Long-EZ for $3k.  That said, you'd probably want to build a new canard (the included one is a GU), and some of the layups look....wavy?

I bet there is $15,000 worth of materials in this project and 1000 hours of free labor.  $1000 each for wheels and brakes, cowls, preformed strakes, canopy.  Easily several thousand for epoxy, glass, hardware and foam.  What a deal!!   Many years ago, I recall paying about $2K for a tub and some foam.    At a measly $20/hour, you're buying $20,000 of free labor.  It's like finding a Picaso on the curb.

[Aclouston]

Wow! This could be the one. Can you tell for which engine the cowl is for?

The strakes are prefab units right?

[tfulwider]

Is it just me or does a fair amount of the surface look resin lean?

Not to me, from the pictures here. 

[Voidhawk9]

Maybe peel-ply and / or unfinished surfaces. But couldn't be certain from the photos.

It is not possible to tell the quality of layups from pictures. It MAY be possible to tell if the layups are really lousy, but there's no way to tell wet, dry, or marginal layups from pics. I've seen pics that looked fantastic, and when I saw the plane in person the layups were marginal at best. Conversely, I've seen pics that made me very doubtful, but when I saw the plane in person everything was completely acceptable and decent quality.

So, do not believe for a second that you can tell the quality of layups by some pics on Barnstormers. You're doing well if you can judge contouring by light reflections in pics, but that's about as far as it goes.
