Just Purchased N50EZ, Long ez from a freind of the deceased builders family,a Robert Hutchinson.
wont  be going to pick it up till next week as I am in oregon...its got a LYC 0290 145 hp motor,canard extended 10 inches and nose extended 12 inches,gross 1700 lbs??/960 empty.the photos look great,current annual by Bill Ortell A&P from Chino.41hrs TTSN, sounds good but wondering if anyone one here knows the Plane or the A&P and can offer any insight on this project?Also what is the name and number of the Chino FBO?
plane serial# 2216L Any info at all will help a bunch

Thanks in advance

I don't know N50EZ myself (I'm based in San Diego).  However, I do know Bill Oertel, and he's a good friend & long time EZ-pilot.  Bill has a romp'in-stomp'in O-320 VEZ (for a photo of N183W see the Mexico Trip in the Articles Section) and a one-of-a-kind retractable canard, "Stiletto".  Bill knows his canards, and engines, and I'd fly anything Bill worked on.

I would suggest that you use AirNav.com for airport info., e.g., http://www.airnav.com/airport/KCNO .

Ditto On Bill Oertel, he had done work on my Long and been a huge help.  I installed his electric gear, best thing I ever did for my back.  Good luck with your new toy.
