  1. HAHAHA! You guys have some classic one-liners and puns! @rickh - I might have to take you up on your offer, I'm thinking late spring or early summer I might head down your way and take a look at your project. Maybe even get my hands a little dirty with your permission, and just check out the whole building routine. The wife wants to go to Estes Park as it has been a few years since we have been there. @Rich - thanks for the info on the seating position. It'll be different than what I'm used to, but shouldn't be a problem. Just out of curiosity (if anyone knows), does the ez really fly similar to the Flight Simulator X version from AlphaSim? I downloaded that a few days ago and seems OK, I'm just getting used to the shallow approach (and can't figure out how to deploy the speed brake:( ) Thanks for the input so far!
  2. Hello,my name is Steve, and I'm a canard-a-holic I fell in love with Rutan's designs as a teenager when I saw a Beech Starship flying in Denver, and have been into them ever since. I've never met anyone who flies or has built an EZ type aircraft. As far as flying experience, got my private ticket in 2002 I have over 200 hours PIC flying 172's and 182's. I'm currently a transport mission pilot in our local Civil Air patrol squadron. Anyway, not to get too long winded here, I'm thinking of possibly building a Long EZ, or more likely buy a flying one..... but before I take a leap of faith I would love to sit down and visit with a pilot / builder about it. also, I'm curious how "comfortable' the cockpit is as far as leg position etc. (from photos of cockpits, it looks like your legs are more out in front of you, instead of in a sitting position). Anyway, is there anyone near that would be willing to catch up with me? I live in the northeast corner of Wyoming (Gillette), but I could also fly somewhere to meet you. Let me know, and thanks for your time Steve
