I've explained myself on the Dave Hanson issue many times - a search of this forum or the COZY/canard-aviators mailing lists archives (if you are a member and have access) will bring up the multitudinous reasons (and paint colors is the least of them) that any plane that Dave has touched should be viewed with extreme suspicion. Structural and system issues galore. I have names of 8 canardians (some of whom work on canard for a living, and others who've owned or inspected canard Hanson's worked on) who have direct experience with Hanson's work who express the same opinion.

I would go so far to say that EVEN if all Hanson did was paint the plane, walk away, as the paint jobs are also substantially substandard. There will be another Long-EZ that you will not have to worry about, assuming you get a qualified Pre-Buy examination.

Ok, Thanks.  I have been off of this website/forum for many many years and just recently got the itch again for another canard.  

Thank for clarifying.  I will do a search and more reading but thank you very much for the insite!

As always, I will warn against any airplane that Dave Hanson has touched unless ALL structural and systems work can be verified by a competent canard expert (not just some guy that built one or two).

SAY reason please…i was looking closely at this Long-ez, but i dont know the background on Dave Hanson.  Can you please provide more info……thanks
