Title: New VEZ owner
Post by: mattstecher on March 29, 2013, 11:26:11 PM
Just picked up 54EG a Varieze built by Earl Ellis that last flew in 2000. Richard Sessions was the last owner and has been a big help getting me up to speed. I look forward to picking everyone's brains as I get deeper into the rebuild.
My first question is: Has anyone had any luck getting the repairmans cert. when all the primary components have already been built by someone else? It seems like some of the fast build kits being certified these days have a lot less work to do than I have to.

Now why did you go and do that, Matt? Didn’t you get the message? That the VariEze is passé, out of favor, replaced?
Just kidding :) -Wanted to welcome you to the somewhat rarified air of the VariEze experience. I would be interested in hearing your reasons for taking on the VariEze.

Hi Matt - Congrats on the basket case! Er...the refurb project! I'm in the middle of my own, picked it up for a song in Dallas area about a year or so ago.
