Hi there Forum members,

Hows it going? This my first post here under the vari eze category. I have a lead on a set of plans for about $300. My question is this..... I was looking at the specs for the varie eze at airventuremusem.org which is the musem at oshkosh. On the specs for the proto type is says the following:

Empty Weight: 399

Max Weight: 880lbs.

Engine: VW 1834CC 62Hp engine

Normal range: 670

@ Cruise speed: 900 miles

@ 40%: ???

my question is this. Does this sound close to what those of you are flying? Also, I noticed on some varieze's they have pods on the wings. Is in the plans or how do people make these? what about a extra fuel tank?

thanks a bunch & happy Flying/building,

I sent you a PM to.

thanks TMANN,

I have a lead on a set of Vari eze plans. see what happens with this....

stay tuned

hi forum members,

I am wondering if anyone out there has plans for either a long eze or a veri eze. Please nothing over 300. I think I will have to shelf the idea about the mark IV. Unless some one has plans for 300 that I might consider to.

take care,

Wow! you have a nice thing going there! is still for sale? you can email off the forum if you like? what do you think sipping would be for something like that? I am here in MN

is your kit still for sale yet? here's my email....ben_ramler2002@yahoo.com

I like your website Big Steve. Looks like a wealth of information!

Thank you T-mann. It looks like there is no shortage of support here so that is always a good thing. How do I know if there are other Canard owners here in MN?

thanks much,

That was funny TMann thanks for the Laugh! Hi drew you know know it really doesn't bother me at all. I just want to go flying!

Good afternoon Group,

How are we all doing today? I decided that waiting a day after I signed on to the forum I thought I would stick my head out of the bushes sort of speak.

I am getting serious about buying a partly started Cozy Mark IV here in MN. So I have a couple of question. How did most of you get into canard aircraft. My reasoning may not make sense but here goes.... I want something that looks cool on the ground, cross country runner, good visability.

Those are just a few of the things. I am looking for. I have to confess I have not really built a composite airccraft before. I've helped my dad build or try to build wooden airplanes but not foam.

I think it will be both fun, and a learning experience.

take care,
