The Long EZ is a Fast and insanely Fuel Efficient Airplane To Own

That or the velocity and I know they are different planes.

This is the plane I had hoped to build, but I got married and it never happened.

Great as long as you don't mind being in the bay next to John Denver

Imagine how efficient and fast this would be with a toroidal prop!

please provide contact number of the man who made this plane and explaining.

We're pumped to electrify one of these air frames one day. A vibration-free Long EZ would be a beautifully graceful way to fly.

Beautiful and natural clouds

🎉 That’s a great idea! Betting is always more fun with friends around, and those bonuses for referring them seem pretty generous.

I can't even with the tech stuff, withdrawals are SUPPOSED to be FAST but it's a toss-up every time 🤔💰

Oh boy, the techINCAL procEsses are a nightmare, FAST withdRAWals and EASY deposits with 4rabet aka 4raAet they have great VARIAbility tho 😅💸

🎱 Has anyone tried those wheel games yet? Each one seems to have its own cool twist

🎱 Yes, those reload bonuses can be a lifesaver, especially when you hit a rough patch. Helps to keep playing without breaking the bank

Then there was the long ez that imported 100 kilos of cocaine from Peru to central Florida in the early 90s… non-stop over 12 hours. Pretty sure that guy never got caught.

Does your plane have a new registry number? N7128U comes up empty. Just curious...

Over 800 Long-EZs are registered with the FAA. "By February 2023, 114 Long-Ez aircraft have been lost in accidents, with 44 fatalities (Wikipedia)." That ratio seems surprisingly high.

I am not into aviation and came across the video by YT recommendation. BUT have to say I sat trough the whole thing...really interesting guy...and yes...divorce can change life in positive ways :)...Keep up the good work..

1000 Newton Meters? Why would you use a unit of torque to represent range?

I am not flying 1600 miles at 140 kn in that small of a tube…

John Denver would disagree

With retractable gear, a canopy that is escapable when upside down and some form of flaps... this thing would be a cruiser like no other.

It will take you to Heaven!

My father and I built one of these to a finished air frame, which I understood from other builders was about 1/2 way, time wise. We then sold it, and the guy we sold it to did the engine, avionics, and finishing work and flew it all over heck and back. Another guy in Indiana now owns it. Nice looking build here, I've seen a few that look like they were cut our with a hatchet and the epoxy and glass was thrown on from across the room. My son still gives me grief when I bring up the subject for selling it. He got a ride after it was finished. That was my second mistake. :-) I told him he could build his own, and I would help. Nada, so far.

1000 nanometres isn't very far.

thats a tight fit!

Looks a great design, super efficient on gas. Love to fly in it. Thinking it would be great for the Ukrainian army in their battle agsint the russians

Ah fellow Sussex County resident! The air show at Sussex airport was awesome to be at every summer!

You’re not videoing now are you ?

Lousey Audio. You'll get more subscribers if you have good audio.

😮 WOW A MINI X-15
Chuck Yeager Special!

Would this be good enough for an Atlantic crossing, via Halifax or so? Or would this be too risky or dangerous? Or it could only be done with very mild winds or something?

What is that???

Rutan's designs are al beautiful and perform well. Thanks for sharing this one.

What a plane. Been around so long my mom made me aware of this design concept when I was 12,,,,huh

Isn't this model the one the airforce modified to test pulse detonation engines?

How in the Heck does anyone understand anything being said over those radios???

When is someone going to invent a solution to the com's interference?

I've always wanted to fly but that radio incoherence will prevent me from doing so!!!

Lol I divorced and fly again now too.

That radio chatter is so incoherent and distracting. I dread the though of landing the plane and being spooked by those infernal noises while trying to discern if they call out to your or not.

Not my cup of tea. Give me a Mooney M20F for the air and a Mercedes SLS AMG GT for the ground

I agree. I had a friend that had one of those non-stop from miami to alabama. They are fast and efficient.

Isn't that the plane that John Denver died in?

That didn't work out so well for John Denver.

A friend of mine had one of those and I got to ride in it once. The Long EZ is such a cool plane and very efficient and nimble.

Could this design be scaled down further to create a reconnaissance drone? THe Ukrainian Armed Forces would be interested in buying them I expect.

Do you guys see the chem trails in the sky ?

I love the design and would honestly fly one if I could afford it. Its unfortunate that this is the same plane that is associated with John Denver's passing.

If I were deaf I'd be highly confused by these captions

I worked worked for a company that made a rocket powered Long EZ👍

"As the case goes with aviators, I got divorced, started flying again." Appreciate the honesty and the chuckle.

I wonder how much life insurance is for Long EZ owners?

whats the cost?
