Burt Rutan always considered the LongEZ was the natural progression of the Varieze.
If you decide on a LongEZ go for an O-320, although the O-235 is adequate it takes a lot of runway to get airborne on a hot day with a passenger and over 20 galls. of gas.I bought an O-235 LongEZ 5 years ago and it's a great aircraft but it is significantly slower than my Norcal buddies with their O-320's and I'm getting tired of being tail end charlie on our weekend flights.I had an O-320 lined up to purchase and then the mortgage sub prime hit and my retirement dollars went down the Stock Market drain.Maybe I should have worked for Lehman Bros. and picked up a subsidized severance package.
Which ever you choose they are great aircraft

The prop extension is $250 plus shipping.

There is a group from N.Cal flying down. I plan to go over the Tioga Pass swing right to Mammoth and then down 395 to Lone Pine.
I plan to leave early Sat.I think we are all OK on rooms. See you there.

I didn't purchase my LongEZ until Oct 2003 so I missed the last Rutan Birthday Bash.
This year I made it, almost information overload.The "Star" of the show was the Starship. I bought many raffle tickets but didn't win the ride in the Starship, I thought about waylaying the winner and stealing his ticket but there were too many people about.Bob Scherer the owner is a very generous person not only did he fly the winner and 4 friends but opened his aircraft to any body who wanted to look round.I hear there were over 60 aircraft on the ramp, the photo taken from the top of a 50ft cherry picker should verify this number.
I had made reservations at a local motel but flew out at about 6pm for my 257 mile flight back to Columbia.I met a lot of old friends and the celebrity count was impressive. As I said information overload and it ended all too soon, I will post again when I have collected my thoughts, I have been to Mojave Mecca am I am a believer.Remember when you park your LongEZ on the ground make sure it points to Mecca
