According to the chatter in the email list, this one's about 45 minutes north of me.  Most of the damage appears to be not a huge deal to repair, except for the landing gear--that looks like a lot of work...

I poke Jon every once in a while, offering to help, but he is very busy with lots of projects

Sure seems like a lot more than cosmetic work.

LONG EZ PROJECT NO ENGINE • $9,800 • OR BEST OFFER! • This is a complete aircraft minus the engine. The owner passed and I ended up with the plane. It's 650 airframe time according to the Hobbs meter. It needs mostly cosmetic work and just a going through (replace instruments clean control connections etc). It sat outside for a few years, hence the reason to go through it. The canopy is in great shape. It had an O-320 E3D engine. Text me for pics you want. I'm working on locating the logs. 6 seven 8 520 then 7337. Reasonable offers considered. No low balls. You'll have to haul it. I don't have time to deliver in the next 60 days.

Thanks for taking the time for such a thorough reply, Marc.  60-70 lb on a 900-1200lb aircraft is nothing to sniff at, but not a game changer, either.  I lurk on the HBA forums as well, but hadn't seen this particular discussion.  I'll go do some more searching to see if I can dig it up.

For the benefit of anyone coming along later with a similar question, a relevant post by the aforementioned Billski is here: https://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/threads/wing-design-for-lightest-possible-wing.31780/page-2#post-477756

Woah! That's a steal!

No joke. I was a little tempted, I'll admit. Sadly, I'm not in a place, availability-wise, to take on a build.

It feels like we've seen this one in the past year or so...

Maybe it's just the lighting, but I don't know that I've ever seen a long-ez in progress that is this dark.  Some other type of epoxy, perhaps?
