Congratulations on your new 'baby'. I have also purchased a complete Varieze from an estate. It has 70 hrs on it and has not flown since '93, meaning it will require a VERY thorough inspection and probably start test flying all over again.
For starters, the tires are old, the brakes are rusty, the fuel selector valve is frozen, the controls are 'gritty'. Let's compare notes as we learn our new airplanes.
