  1. I would be glad to talk to you about how to transport it . Email me yogakiteman@gmail.com
  2. Do you want to fly or do you want to be isolated in a workshop rehabilitating this . I guarantee you wont be doing a lot of flying if you buy this . Its a demanding mistress .
  3. Ive done it . Best to have a 16ft trailer with a wood floor to screw down to . I screwed the wings down through the root fittings ,
  4. The "fly eze" project has now been dropped to 100$. This is your chance to own this rare one of a kind bird. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/avo/d/salome-rutan-fly-easy-airplane-project/7682469810.html
  5. Its actually a very rare “fly easy “ they corrected it and lowered the price . Looks like someone took a chain saw to the upper nose area . https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/avo/d/salome-rutan-fly-easy-airplane-project/7682469810.html
  6. I was able to find it online.
  7. Thanks . looks like I found an 0200 B to put in mine.
  8. I have a Varieze project that came with plans but is missing 2A for 0200 installation. Can anyone direct me on how to get section 2A .
  9. ok thanks kent i sent you a message.
  10. I am considering putting an io233 engine in my Varieze project. Does anyone have any info on making a type 1 dynafocal mount for the Varieze? Cozy girls makes a type 1 for the Long eze i suppose you could try to convert it. Basically the long eze mount is wider at the top where it hits the studs than the Varieze but the bottom is the same and the studs are all in the same place vertically. You would have to attach outward angles on the existing varieze inward angles at the top and then still need about 1/4 to 1/2 inch spacers from what i can see.
  11. i have been searching high and low and asking on the facebook rutan site as well as here for any concrete info on the rotax 912 being used in a Variez. There are lots of rumors but no one can even come up with a photo. Trying to put a rotax into a Varieze would require lots of time and money trying to figure out how to mount it , How to cool it, and the proper prop. With no flying examples it would not be easy . It would be an ideal engine probably but the examples i see of it being used as a pusher the engine is not inside a cowl . So you really dont know what will happen when you mount it backwards inside a cowl as far as CHT etc let alone how many props you would have to go through to find what works the best .
  12. Im considering putting an 0235 on my Variez project . Does anyone have any info on profiles or other info for lengthening the nose?
  13. https://jxn.craigslist.org/avo/d/horton-rutan-varieze-project/7659552405.html variez project with another 1500 hours to go for 4 k
  14. Thanks . I talked to david orr he said there was i guy in colorado with one and he use to say it was single pilot on hot days . So it sounds like it would work . Im more interested in economy my particular airframe was supposedly 650 lbs when it had a c85 on it .
  15. I have a VariEZ project and the opportunity to buy an overhauled A75 engine . What are your thoughts on the A75 engine for a Variez.
