Hangar Flying / more questions from a newbie

« on: August 30, 2008, 08:46:41 AM »

Well I've gotten a chance to look at some varieze's and I have a couple more questions.

1. Can anyone recommend a good insurance company for EZE's? I am a low time pilot (70 hrs), and would like to purchase a varieze or long ez. I've tried Avemco and EAA, with no success.

2. Does anyone know of a CFI in Tennessee, Alabama or Georgia that can check out pilots in a varieze?

Thanks for your help.

Hangar Flying / varieze questions from a newbie

« on: August 20, 2008, 07:23:17 PM »

I know very little about the varieze, and am trying to learn more. I am a low time Cessna driver, and have some elementary questions about the varieze, as I haven't found many online resources. I have a few basic questions:

1. How are the crosswind characteristics? Can a low time cessna guy handle one in a crosswind?
2. How practical is the plane to travel? Am I correct in saying there is no baggage area?
3. How are insurance costs?
4. Are there "problem areas" in the design?
5. Are very many equipped for night flight?

And finally, please state your favorite thing about the plane, and the thing you like the least.

I know these are simple questions and I appreciate your responses. On the surface, I think the aircraft is awesome. I'm just trying to figure out if its right for me. Thanks again!
