I am prospecting for a Vari-Eze to operate from the Animas Air Park in Durango Colorado at 6684 ft altitude / 5000 ft runway.
There is a EZ beauty I'm looking at in Georgia, however, her dry weight with a O-200 is 705 lb, which is ~20% high from the POH spec for a lightly equipped vari. The plane does have an alternator, altimeter, airspeed, electric turn, and rate of climb - plus the owner has done the Rutan recommended modifications over the years.
I would love to be able to talk to someone about what to look for when I go to check it out. I have a considerable amount more information about the plane from talking with the owner/builder. I welcome any advice at
daudi@durango.netCheers,
