For Sale/Wanted / Thoughts on Varieze's for sale
« on: February 06, 2013, 06:01:55 PM »
Hi all,
I'm a USAF pilot with 2700+ KC-10 hours and 1100 T-6 II hours. I've always been intrigued with all of the Rutan designs and have noticed a lot of Varieze's flooding the market on Barnstormers.com and Ebay.com for mid-teen prices. This sounds like a great deal but I'm concerned that most were completed in the early 1980's and might have wing attachment fitting corrosion. I have also never flown one but think that I could handle it pretty easily. I'm stationed in NJ and would like any inputs to a possible inspection and what it takes to transfer ownership.
V/R,
Josh
