Bob, I may take you up the offer sometime. I'm in Portland quite a bit on business.

Hangar Flying / Re: 6'3" ... Will I fit?
« on: June 07, 2013, 03:16:18 PM »
Thanks to everyone for the replies and information. I will definitely contact the two Oregon builders and join the CSA. I recently learned of the Longeze increased gross weight if operated in normal category. I'm thinking this airplane may be the way to go because of the roomier cockpit.
Am I building or buying? Both... I'm currently building a Maranda AMS-S14. It's a two place wooden design that will eventually end up on floats. I'm looking for something to fly while I'm building. The canards fit my needs and the performance/value cannot be beat. Someone commented that every time they see canard owners, they are smiling and 1000 miles away from their home base. You can't go wrong with that. Thanks again.

Steve, thanks for the reply. I'm based in Klamath Falls, OR (KLMT). I'm trying to find a varieze to sit in to see if I even fit. If it fits, I think the varieze or longeze is a great plane given price and performance. On a side note, Klamath is 4095 msl with density altitudes approaching 7000 ft in the summer. We have a 10,000 ft runway and the POH says the varieze should use no more than 3000 at max gross for takeoff. Does this sound accurate? Thanks.

Hangar Flying / 6'3" ... Will I fit?

Hello. Will a 6'3", 220lb pilot fit in a varieze? I flew gliders years ago and have no problem with tight spaces. Thanks.
