  1. I blame it all on my daughter... The EAA has a very fine program called Young Eagles in which young people can be introduced to general aviation with a short free introductory flight. Now most get seat time in a spam can or similiar craft. But not my daughter, no no no. She has to get her very first flight in a Long EZ compliments of Tim 'Wizard' Sullivan. So now I am contemplating if I might want to build one of these unusual planes. I built and flew R/C aircraft for many years and even went as far as passing my private checkride in 2000, although I have not flown since. Seems the wife has issues with flying So I guess I am looking for a bit more education. I would like to understand the building process better. I have some composite experience on the models but figure there are some notable differences. I would also like to buy some gas and splat some bugs to see if the flight dynamics might be for me. And I plan on doing a whole lot of reading... cheapest education I have found.
