Monday, November 28th 2022 MOUNTAIN GREEN, Utah (KUTV) — A pilot "miraculously walked away" unharmed after his small aircraft crashed in the Morgan County mountains in Utah, authorities said. The walk turned into a miles-long journey, as he tried to find mobile service in the wilderness near Durst Mountain. The crash happened Sunday during the afternoon hours in an area east of Mountain Green, according to a statement posted to the Mountain Green Fire Protection District's social media. Crews were only able to access the crash site using ATV trails. They didn't receive the pilot's 911 call immediately, though. The man reportedly hiked six miles before he found a signal, according to authorities. Mountain Green fire and emergency medical service crews, along with deputies from the Morgan County Sheriff's Office, found the crash site later in the evening after Weber County 911 was able to triangulate the location. Photos from the scene show fire crews and law enforcement around the wreckage of what appears to be a very small, single-person aircraft equipped with winglets. Authorities disabled the plane's battery and attended to a fuel leak. Authorities didn't say if there is a known cause of the crash. The pilot didn't report any injuries, the department said. It's unknown if the pilot is a local man or if he was flying through the area when the aircraft crashed.

Sold 11/13/22 to Kent's neighbor.

I'm trying to keep it reasonable. I figure with the cost involved to finish it someone would have a good value. I believe everything is there with the exception of an engine, instruments and paint. I have a new Hal Hunt exhaust, a Steve's gascolator, two prop extensions and a prop included also.

I just put my Varieze back up for sale at Rutan Longez and Varieze. $3500. for everything.

Kathryn's Report Anyone know who the pilot was? Recent purchase?

Sold

Yes, I still have it.

Velocity XL-RG-5: Incident occurred November 09, 2021 at Denton Enterprise Airport (KDTO), Texas Looks expensive.

Interesting. I saved all of the pictures for visual reference, idea's and such. It appears to have Juran prefab strakes, I'm referencing the overlap on the leading edges. I would also like to add a couple of hot links for an auction for pair of engines (not mine) that may be of interest to the group. They could be a bargain. Lycoming O-235's in NC. https://www.gc5auctions.com/auctions/10310/lot/19356-Avco-Lycoming-Model-0235-F2B-Aircraft-Engine https://www.gc5auctions.com/auctions/10310/lot/19445-Lycoming-Model-0235-L2C-Aircraft-Engine---Please-see-all-pictures.

This. If you can operate a hacksaw, a tape measure and a bastard file your in business. There is a discussion in another canard group (I forget which one) where a guy fabricated an engine mount. The welding is the hardest part. He stabilized (bolted) his mount between two pieces of plywood to weld it.

My O-200 Varieze engine mount (Brock Mfg) is a conical mount. I didn't realize there was a Varieze dynafocal mount offering. Cozy Girl?

Mine are vertical per plans.

Yikes! The workmanship looks sloppy. You were very generous with your offer.

Brock manufacturing I believe.
