Is there a Longez for X-Pane V8?

Don -
Haven't been able to find one myself... Although if you look on www.x-plane.org you can find some v7.62 planes that will work in v8.
The best one (IMHO) is the VariEze:

There are a couple of Cozy's and Long-EZs, but they seem to have deep-stall characteristics and a few other quirks that aren't accurate to the real thing. Still, they're decent models:

I found that the Longez for 7.6 will not run on my version 8. Just to make sure I did not have a download problem, I ran the down load on my version 7.6 and it worked fine. I guess i will just wait and hope someone does the 8.0 version.

. Don,
I managed to to download the Rutan LongEZ for v7.6 from the [x-plane.org ] web site into X-Plane v7.6 and v8.20. This flight model does have some handling and stability problems performing some aerobatic maneuvers.
I will be developing a Racing version of the LongEZ that has two 400 pound thrust Rocket engines for propulsion. It will be based on the EZ-Rocket plane built by Xcor Aerospace. My EZ-Rocket will only be available to California Air and Air Northwest Pilots and we hope to set up one or more air racing events next year.
Please take a look at this web site: [ RocketRacingLeague.com ]
