Kent Ashton Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 AFAIK we do not have Varieze plans on this site. A fellow here https://www.facebook.com/groups/25741482604/ posted negative JPEG images of the Varieze build manual---30 images. He says they can be reversed to positive with an image editor . I don't have that capability. Maybe somebody can reverse them and combine them into a PDF file.

I have VariEze plans intended for Open-EZ land. The pics in that link are scaled to 8"x10", and so I anticipate the scans of the plans I have will be higher quality. Still, thanks -- I'll save for comparison.

There is a fair amount of interest in the Vari, especially as avgas prices climb. I suppose Rutan would not object to Open-Vari plans. I have always been impressed at Gary Hertzler's mods for the engine bottom-end and cowl (pics). Really slick.

mquinn6 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Yes! Gary's Vari is impressive! VERY smooth and no wonder it makes impressive numbers! His custom oil sump and Ellison intake contribute to that very elegant "tail" angle! We can all learn from the success (and failures) of others!!!!

mquinn6 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I contributed my Q200 plans and full sheet to quickbuilders to improve their library. Was wondering if someone could scan their plan here. I certainly would want a set to reference on my vari-recovery project! I think Burt's biggest concern is that connection point for the wings. I determined mine are alodined (slight gold hint and does not conduct electricity (show continuity) on the surface). To make an "vari-open-eze" viable the things that were not in the design (s-glass landing gear for instance) would have to be worked out!

fshort Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hi all: I converted a couple of pages - I think they're too low res to be useful... VariEze Plans pg 1.tiff VariEze Plans pg 2.tiff What do you think? Regards, James Quote James Russell Electric Shadows, Inc. 841 Old Gardiner Rd.

mquinn6 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 That is the spirit James. But I agree, a bit fuzzy (blinked twice thinking it way my eyes! LOL!) If someone has a full set of plans that I can borrow, I can take it to a friend of mine with a good camera and setup... I, of course would volunteer a healthy deposit (to be returned) for use of such plans to help ensure they get back to the kind sole... M.

jridge Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) I've got pretty clear PDFs of Vari-Eze Section I, IIA, IIC, III and VI. Plus the owners manual. Not sure where I downloaded these from. I can post them here - how do I do that?

Kent Ashton Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 I suggest starting a new topic in the Models --> Varieze section entitled "Varieze Plans" https://www.canardzone.com/forums/forum/305-varieze/ I think you can drag and drop the files into the bottom of the post. Maybe Jon would like to create an "Open Varieze" model to which they can be moved.

Jon Matcho Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 @Kent Ashton and @jridge allow me to open up the Downloads section for user-provided content. That's the best place for files like these as opposed to sprinkled in throughout various topics and threads. Once I do that you should be able to upload here just fine Jeff.
