	Rutan Long-EZ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rutan Model 61 Long-EZ is a homebuilt aircraft with a canard layout designed by Burt Rutan's Rutan Aircraft Factory.
		As of late 2005, approximately 700 Long EZ's are FAA registered in the USA.
		The aircraft is designed for fuel-efficient long-range flight and can fly for over ten hours and up to 2,500 kilometers (1,600 miles) on 200 liters (52 gallons) of fuel.

	Canard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rutan Long-EZ, with canard just ahead of the pilot
		The canard surface normally produces positive (upwards) lift which adds to the overall lift, whereas a conventional tailplane normally produces a downforce, partially cancelling the lift from the main wings.

	Rutan Aircraft Designs
		Rutan's creative vision led to the formation of his own Rutan Aircraft Factory in 1974 to design and market innovative canard designs for home-built light aircraft such as the VariEze and the Long-EZ.
		Rutan's most expensive project, the Beech Starship was just one in a series of experimental and unique aircraft designs that are his trademark.
		Burt Rutan expanded his successful experiments with composite materials to larger-scale projects with the formation of Scaled Composites, Inc., in 1982, for the design, fabrication, and flight testing of prototype aircraft projects for both the government and private industry.

		After leaving the Air Force in 1974, Rutan launched his first private company, Rutan Aircraft Factory to market his light aircraft designs which included the VariEze, Quickie and Long-EZ.
		Burt Rutan's designs are characterized by the use of light-weight composite materials, innovation which is akin to the transition in aircraft construction from wood and fabric to metal.

	View topic - Anyone flown the Rutan Long EZ? :: SurClaro Flight Simulations Resources
		Posted: Thu May 12, 2005 2:12 am Post subject: Anyone flown the Rutan Long EZ?
		I read a book where the author flies the Long EZ and it sounds like it flies very good and would be very fun to fly in the real world.
		I think this will be one of the first a/c I download.

		It was early—far too early—as the sleek fiberglass form of the Rutan Long-EZ accelerated into a sky as cold and black as an IRS agent’s heart.
		From this point on, Mike was to be known only as “Zulu”, while my long time callsign of “Groucho” was my sole identifier.
		After the pleasantries were exchanged, we were directed to don our own flight suits, which had our callsigns emblazoned on leather nametags of our own (a very nice touch).

	LongEZ Page
		It has a top speed of about 150 kts (180 mph), but I generally cruise at 140 kts at 2500 rpm (160 mph.) This plane was designed by legendary aircraft designer Burt Rutan.
		Expect to pay around $25-35K for a low end model with few modifications and as high as $35-50K for a high end model with the larger engine (O-320) and a good panel.
		It's a delight to fly and even though it uses the exact same engine as my Colt, it flies about 60 mph faster.

		I know that their design [xcor.com] is a long way off, but they have been spending lots of time on a their motor designs.
		Rutan stated that they spent most of their day on the ground, playing cards and waiting for the U2 crew to finish maintenance....

	Aircraft: Rutan/Stitt Long EZ
		I am learning to fly (8 hours only) on a Cesna 152 and have a chance to purchase a brand new Long EZ for a very good price.
		This exceptionally high-quality kit includes precision cut foam wing cores, balsa sheeting, aluminum main gear, clear canopy, glass cowl, wheel pants, servo rails, pinned hinges, laser cut balsa, rolled plans and a step by step instruction manual combined to make construction of the Long-EZ a pleasant experience.
		The Long-EZ's fast and smooth flying style is just different enough to let you know you're not flying a "conventional plane, yet the average flyer will find it quite "EZ" to handle.

		We stop long enough only to look at Fisher’s version of the DH Tiger Moth.
		One will be hung on the front of a plans-built wooden Corsair (about 1/3 scale), another sits on a Kitfox (making sense of the mock cowlings that most of the breed seem to sport).

		McAvoy, of Millbury, Ohio, took apart the Rutan Long-EZ he built in the 1990s to refit the plane with newer technology, like Global Positioning and retractable landing gear.
		And for homebuilders looking to pick up new skills and handy tips for working on their plane, forums are offered all week long on topics from welding to composites.
		McAvoy is a homebuilder — one who builds his or her own airplane — and part of the core at the heart of the Experimental Aircraft Association.

	About Rutan Aircraft Factory, Inc.
		Then, in June 1974 Burt Rutan left his job at Bede Test Center, moved his family to Mojave, California and started Rutan Aircraft Factory (RAF) in order to develop a non-conventional research aircraft he had designed while still in college-the VariViggen.
		While aircraft plans are no longer available to the public, RAF will continue to support, for some limited time, the individuals who have already purchased plans and are in the building process.
		In April 1982, Burt Rutan founded Scaled Composites, Inc. (Scaled) to develop research aircraft.

	v05.n711
		Date: Fri, 27 Sep 1996 13:55:57 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Starship Rudders Chuck, Techncally, you are correct - the rudders on the Beech Starship (Rutan VariEze, Long EZ and Defiant) are on upwards pointing extensions of the wing.
		All four aircraft that I have mentioned here have perfectly normal response to a rudder input (well, yes, the early VariEze and Long EZ rudders were to small, but we're not talking about this here).
		For longitudinally trimmed flight, for right half of the model, the code calculates: Rudder Defl.

	Flying and EZ Aircraft
		There are now several hundred completed Long-EZ aircraft flying in countries all over the world.
		I was the passenger in a Long EZ, and our formation friend was in a Lancair 360.
		Most of the EZ owners built their own planes, and in doing so became members of a very special group of individuals.

		Those materials, combined with the resources that I already had on the original Rutan Long EZ, allowed me to get a basic CAD model and some drawings together pretty quickly.
		Composites always alternate between beautiful and ugly, during this long process.
		The first step was to collect every scrap of information on the aircraft that I could.

	safety.txt
		I built and flew a Long EZ for 6 years and it was my experience that the gear was OK for reasonably smooth grass operation but the prop wasn't.
		It seems logical to me that all the problems that have been discovered or uncovered by Long EZ builder/flyers that concern portions of the two designs that are identical or similar, should be passed on to Cozy builders by: 1.
		As an EZ builder, I am not too familiar with the way Nat does this, though I have seen some of the Cozy newsletters.
