This is the guy I bought my EZ from @KCNO. Cool trustworthy guy imho.

Traded a few emails with Mr.  "Poor man's F-16",

Either the guy is letting his past bad experience with Craigslist help him make strange decisions or something else is off.

He refuses to even give the N number unless you show up in person.

He said;

"No damage, Rutan canard, don't have the build logs but do have the fly-off certification and everything else. Builder is local and may have that info but only serious and in person buyer's will view the N # and log information. Thanks for your interest and let me know if you want to schedule a viewing "

"Only buyers that show up in person or send a representative will be considered "

Might be a good buy for someone who is local.   Seller has foolishly and severely limited his market.  (and probably his final sales price)

 

 

 

 

Ok so we saw this thing in person, Considered buying it, then bought another. 

We didn't really see anything “wrong” with it I guess. For the money it just didn't add up. Engine on it has like 1600 hours smoh, everything is manual. No niceties at all. 
 

Also what was weird to us is that the guy wouldn't fly it. He refused to fly it himself. Flew in the back seat of it 2x but wouldn't fly it himself. What doesn't he trust about it?

No pics attached to this one:

 

Went to see this one. Ended up buying a different one. Was a very nice bird but quite a bit over priced in my opinion.

Hows it going Canardians? Just finishing up my acquisition of a Long EZ in CA and really stoked to start participating in some fly ins!

I'm looking for an insurance company that doesn't hate these things 😕   I just got a quote and it was like 4700 a year for 50k hull insurance! 

I have my PPL/IFR and 325 hrs. Anyone have any suggestions?
