Not quite. The Long-EZ shown in that video (and in the video on the main page):

https://www.merlinlabs.com/

is one that I have maintained for about 6 years, first for a private owner and then for Merlin, at which I was contractor/employee #2 starting in 2018 (as of 6 weeks ago, I'm no longer an employee). It's currently located in Mojave, CA (KMHV), as are the other planes shown in the video. While Merlin is working towards CAA certification in NZ, the test flying is being done in the US at this time. Achieving Certification Basis is a big deal.

Thanks for the extra info Marc. The video was light on detail
