I am the sudden unexpected owner of a Long-EZ. I didn’t mention in my post above, but that’s what my dad built back in the '80s. It needs a new home and is being handed off to me. So I’m about to find out the answer to the question of this thread pretty quick lol.
It gets better gas mileage than my car, is much faster than a 172 and has more than twice the range, so it’s definitely one of the more economical planes out there.
Already got canard transition training. I’m just waiting on the FAA now for registration before we can get it out of maintenance. I’m flying a virtual version of it in Flight Simulator in the meantime.
