Long-EZ flight from Grand Junction, Colorado to Kanab, Utah

Great video and beautiful plane! I am building a Cozy MK-IV myself.

A question regarding the colour of the airframe: Have you experienced any problems with heating of the surfaces? I guess you have read the various discussions regarding this subject. I was also thinking of a yellow bird myself.

After departing the Grand Junction area, I climbed to 10,500 ft msl, and l descended to Lake Powel at about 4300 ft msl. The lake is at about 4,000 ft msl. At cruiset I was at about 160kts. When over the lake - 150 kts. The video was speeded up X3 over the lake to shorten the length of the video. The original max gross weight was 650kg, but I placed a bigger engine and other modifications, and increased to 800kg. Glad you like it!

I use a ContourGPS HD video camera on a custom video mount attached to my luggage pod mount. Glad you like the videos.
