  1. Burt said that he encourages the publication and distribution of all of his work at RAF from 1968 to 2002. That had me thinking about all of the different planes he built during that time, and there are some really cool models. Obviously there are the well known plans available for free or for purchase, but what about for some of his lesser known planes? I personally would have loved to fly in / build the Catbird and the Pond Racer. Unfortunately, both were one-off designs and no plans were ever released (to my knowledge). --- I've only recently dipped my toes into aviation / building and there is so much awesome involved, especially in the community itself. Can't wait to get started on my Open EZ in January!
  2. Due to unforeseen life issues, I need to part with my project. This is a beautiful airplane with many unique features. It is almost complete. Basic panel in and wired, electric nose-lift, forward hinged canopy, larger strakes (elbow room), staggered seats (shoulder room), Ronneberg Berkut style cowls, Dynofocal mount for IO-360, completely painted except for new cowls. Needs interior, engine, and wiring at engine. $20,000
  3. Hello! I'm here to learn all about canard aviation with a special interest in construction of a homebuilt. I have never flow a canard aircraft let alone sit in one but I have a special interest very similar to the reasoning Rutan designed some of his earlier models. As a prior F/A-18 mechanic I spent a lot of time sitting in the cockpit running up systems and I always wanted to fly one but knew I never would. The canard design gives me the forward visibility I want to experience at an "affordable" price. I feel confident I can construct a composite aircraft and am still very young so time is on my side. I would like some recommendations as I only know a handful of designs which meet the following criteria. 1) Center line Seating - This is a MUST HAVE. 2) Plans Built - Availability of plans should not be too hard. 3) Built for $40,000 - W/O Engine/Prop So far I have my sights on the LongEZ but I heard plans are no longer being sold? How does someone go about getting them? Also can someone direct me to a location to get the basic cockpit dimensions for the LongEZ so I might construct a wood template and make sure I fit? Looking forward to the education! -Jess
