Hangar Flying / Re: Trailing Edge Fences.......WOW
« on: November 06, 2011, 11:17:46 PM »
this is a fantastic thread- having just bought a Vez 2 weeks ago, have about 4 hours and 10+ landings on her- the one thing that seems to be troubling my landings is aileron control. I'm going to get these TE fences on asap. where do i find dimensions, and measurements for where to install etc? thanks guys

Ok thanks for that generous info Bruce. I did see danas ez was listed for only 20k but not in flying condition I would love to go look at it but gee I need to get to work on my ppl before I should even get serious about plane shopping 
I am also in the middle of considering a&p school. More for fun than to make money but anyone that has an a&p I would love a pm about why or why not they would recommend it. I just don't want to sell crap for a living anymore and I'm lucky my wife makes good money so I could potentially switch gears right now if I want to

Hey Bruce,
is there a csa member in brigham city, utah? Ken does not give rides in his long ez, but he said there was another ez owner in the brigham city area. also, how do i join csa? whats the website? I am ready to join.
Oh and yeah i know 100$ seems cheap but thats what Ken said he rents his hangar space to a guy for. Things are pretty cheap around here

spoke with Ken tonight he was very nice. He built is long ez over the span of 12 years and now has been flying it for over 10. It sounds like the cost of maintenance and annuals are extremely cheap because he told me he is certified to perform his own annuals and maintenance because he is the builder. He said i could expect to pay around 100$ a month for hangaring, which is much cheaper than i expected.
Can anyone help me out with my situation- if i purchase a long ez, then the faa will not give me the ability to perform my own annual- will it be hard to find someone who can do an annual on a long ez or can anyone do it? what should i expect to pay?
I can still do my own oil changes and basic maintenance though, right?
I haven't asked about insurance either- does anyone have a ball park figure for how many hours i will need to get insured and how much i can expect to pay?
thank you,

Hangar Flying / another noobie in love with questions
« on: June 28, 2010, 08:35:29 PM »
Hello!
I have been in love with vans aircraft for over 10 years. I am creeping closer financially to owning one and i have a few questions for you lucky owners out there.
I live in Logan, Utah and i believe there is a VE/ LEZ owner that i've seen on occasion flying. Is there a way to contact them to learn more and hopefully fill them up for a ride?
Long ez is 2 seater, varez is not, correct? I think i've always wanted an long ez. i was instantly in love with the idea of crazy good visibility, the quietness of the pusher design, gph efficiency the side stick etc etc etc!
what is my basic cost of ownership per year besides the aircraft itself? i budget 30-40k for an airplane and then whats my avg cost for hangaring, inspections etc? i would love to split the plane with a trustworthy soul if possible.
I don't have a PPL yet. I fly ultralights right now. Could i find someone who would help me get a ppl with an ez or is that crazy out of the question? i realize its a fast aircraft, strange and different but i have to at least ask. Is there a recommended number of hours or mandatory number of hours i have to fly a standard trainer for to get checked out on this aircraft?
thank you
