Build2 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hello everyone! I'm just getting started on research to build my next experimental aircraft. I'm looking at both the Berkut and Long-EZ (Open-EZ) airframes. Is anyone aware of a Berkut Kit for sale? Reading through the forum...it sounds like it can be tough finding a complete kit, and one has to scrounge quite a bit to locate parts to complete the kit. Thank-you, Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDubs74 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 While I cannot answer you question, I can say hello and welcome to the show! Just starting an Open EZ myself, and from what I am finding so far, "scrounge" will become a daily word to you with either plane. As long as "can't" doesn't become one, no reason you won't have what you want. Good luck! Quote Tim W. Selling RV-8 empanage kit. Gearing up for Open EZ build. The struggle is real.

Build2 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Thanks Tim! I was just in Grand Rapids a few days ago. I used GRT avionics in my GlaStar....great stuff. I'm researching the insurance costs of Long-EZ -vs- Berkut. Berkut costs are steering me towards an Open-EZ. But not a final decision yet. Perseverance is the key to any build project for sure.

TDubs74 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I know a lot of guys around here that have put their stuff in RV's. Nothing but good things to say. Quote Tim W. Selling RV-8 empanage kit.
