Long EZ Landing @ F22 (Perry, Oklahoma)

[circusboy90210]

one class of people should not have to pay more than another class of people just for reason of having more. yes jet owners do need a tax break operating these units provides for other jobs that justify the loss of government revenue from those that already pay more than their tax burder dollar per dollar against the lower classes. 14th amendment equal protection under the law, this includes paying an equal dollar amount no matter what the income.

[JaxxBat]

Looks like a Burt Rutan ..?

[circusboy90210]

what about a jet version?

[210482fmj]

they should install refueling stations across the north atlantic so small aircarft can cross the atlantic and that would solve the fuel/size issue without having to go via iceland and greeland. However i dont like the enviromental consequences of doing that for marine life. at the moment it is necessary to make aircrft large to carry the large amounts of fuel for long distance. if we can create electric aircraft that recharge themselves and glide we could do it in smaller airplanes

[chimandude]

What is the approach speed...? 

[phantom0482]

i have one question why were you applying the speed breaks while still in flight... wouldn't that create un needed stress on the panel? i was under the impression that is to be applied once contact to the ground is made and throttle is at idle.. i'd like to know if it is because of the high stall speed of the aircraft ? i'm curious because i have chosen to build this over the cozy... don't need the extra two seats

[TailwheelForrest]

@phantom0482 The Long Ez and most of its canard cousins have a very flat glide/approach. If you want to steepen the decent and see over the nose, you deploy the speed brake.

fantastic!

Wicked clean landing, great job on the camera and what a beautifull airplane!

[flugverrueckt]

Fantastic fliming! Was it hard to fly chase like that?

[Conderk28]

Great filming!

[DrStoooopid]

It's nice to know that someone in the area has one of these. I live just over the hill from Stillwater.

[MegaBuckBuck1]

Great vid. Smooth is in and beautiful aircraft :)

[ebach1]

nice gizmo :)

[Shortstory123]

Just curious if you would be able to put a BRS chute on one of these planes given it's a pusher prop. Just concerned about safety backup - other than wearing a chute on your back.

Thanks

I just spent the night in Perry, OK last night! Been thinking about buying a Long-EZ too. Kinda crazy. It would have been a nicer trip in the EZ from CO to AL than the 2 day trip in the car!

[PhantomsPhorever1]

Beautiful bird. Boy you don't just drop those in do ya? Nice video.

[backintack]

was this shot in a cub?

[AmericanAviator]

Nice shot, there!

[aopajay]

Perry Muni. in OK. ?

I am a pilot in Calif. GREAT JOB !!!

[aviator147]

awesome filming!!!

[xzqzq]

This aircraft, with an auxiliary gas tank in the back seat, has a heck of a long range.... can fly from Maui to Oshkosh, non-stop, unrefueled.... Bert is the man, for sure...

[Zeddy100]

Sweet landing & footage, thanks.

[worldwidefreeride92]

im working on one of these in work as a restoration project.. hopefully so the owner can fly around the world in it.. its tricky due too the fact hes paraplegic si there will haft to be dual controll on eatherside from the control collumn

[ATLRCFlyer]

What was the approach speed here?

I see the nose wheel bouncing on touch-down.

Or was that only because the elevators were deflected full up?

I don't wanna nag, I'm just curious about the behaviour of the Long-EZ since I am thinking of making that my next project plane...

RIP John Denver

[MetaView7]

fantastic vid

thank you for posting

[turboromy]

I think it was Mihkahil (or something like that) at Renaissnce composite... long time ago.... who said landing canards are much tougher than regular airplanes.

How tough is it ??? I had a chance to get a ride with David Orr and remember pitch was pretty steep. If you flown tail dragger, how do you compare the difficulty ?

Thanks,

Nice airplane... I hope to get one before I die.

[StillwaterSailor]

It is a great plane to fly, just a couple of gotchas, such as don't over rotate on take off, don't get too slow on approach. Other then that it is a blast to fly.

[suckmysilencer747]

ill buy one!

but i think velocity aircraft are better

[9sectionwhip]

This is one of (if not the first) canard aircraft in the homebuilt arena. I think of it as grandpa for the others (or grandma depending on how ya look at it:) As such...the others have had a lot of time to refine their designs for performance and looks.

[ssgtakeo]

Fantastic, steady job with the videography.

[2DMGOOD4U]

Wow cool vid. Where you get these aircrafts.

Are the considered ULA? (ultra light aircraft?)

My PP license is enough to fly them?

Are they expensive?

Thanks

[Rcteller]

Dallas to NO? That would be a going out for lunch in a Long EZ. "Stillwater Sailor" (see above), is the one to ask! I chided him for being off the centerline, but he's really a pretty good stick!

[StillwaterSailor]

I have to land off-center, the nose wheel will get stuck in the seam down the middle of the runway!

[quickieflyer]

nice footage

[nipponhouseplayer]

SWEET

[CragarShinoda]

This is the same model plane that John Denver was killed in.

[shimon174b]

That is the COOLEST!!

[StillwaterSailor]

Cruise is around 140knots w/ 10 hours of fuel.

[Berkner80]

What is the cruise speed and the range with one of these. I fly a trike right now but would look for a long distance flyer in the future, Say from North Texas to the New Orleans area.

[180mph]

Nice video job!
