Open EZ Rev 6 Plans and Dwgs

[Dennis]

Are Open Rev 6 Plans and Drawings available?  Have all the Rev 5 documents plus corrections for "1 inch error".  OK to start build with Rev 5 or wait for Rev 6?

I downloaded the Rev 5 drawings about 6 months ago in PDF format and had them printed on a large-format printer at a FedEx store and they were right on.  There was some confusion about the corner marks but it was just a problem with the marks, not the base drawings.  I am sure the Rev 5 drawings are right.  I believe the build manual is still available on Ari Glantz's website.

Hey Kent.  Thanks for the follow-up.  Noticed you are from Concord.  Are you by chance based at Mid-Carolina?  If so, I had a look at your planes a couple of years ago.  Friend of mine (Rick Basco) is based there and flew a Onex that he built.  I built a Sonex and used to fly in and out of there to visit.  I was based at Wilgrove.  Recently moved from Charlotte to Eastern NC, sold the Sonex and now ready to have a "real" homebuilt airplane.  Have the build manual so next step is to get the dwgs printed and get going or maybe find a good project or decent completed EZ.  Thanks again.

Ah yes.   Did you know Wilgrove is closing?    Sold for development.  

There are a lot of improvements one can make on an EZ but i don’t know of a comprehensive list.    I guess an O-320 and a longer nose are the main change.   It takes a lot of research to find what has been done before.  Check out the projects for sale in my “sales i’ve seen” thread.    Some good values there.
