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
Erik
