Burt didn’t pilot Voyager, his brother Dick piloted it.

Thanks for featuring the Long EZ! As another commenter pointed out, there was never a kit for the Long EZ. All Long EZs are hand crafted from plans. The Long EZ has 40% more wing area than the Vari Eze, another correction. My Long EZ N83DT, Race 83, is shown at 7:09, 7:14, 10:05, and 10:26 in the video.

Thanks for the video. LongEZ is my absolute favorite GA airplane.

Thanks for the awesome video, i think that with the turbo rotax the speed gain at altitude would be way much higher than the 10% 🤔

Yea as others noted it was Dick and Jenna Yeager who piloted Voyager. Knowing that story is realizing that it's truly a miracle that they survived the flight. You want to get the scoop - warts and all - it's in the Next Five Minutes . Dick - a fantastic and better pilot then his brother - past away in May. There were questions I had wanted to ask him but let the time slip by.

My dad built a Long EZ in our garage in 1982. My mom made many calls to Burt. It crashed on my birthday in 1997. No fatalities. (Fuel line vapor lock)

This is a nice overview of some fantastic Rutan-designed aircraft. But it's more than a bit ironic that this appears on a channel named "Big Metal Birds", when Burt's designs featured many options for fuselage materials OTHER than metal!

Nice video but the Long-EZ was built from plans. It was never offered as a kit.

I have plans for the Cozy Mk IV variant. The plans call for a 180HP O-360 engine. By the time I get to the engine phase of my build I really hope Rotax has a 180 to 200HP offering. Or batteries and electric aviation are finally a thing.

I’m struggling with the choice between the two. Both are incredible.

If you take only 1 passenger max and you have a long runway (not high altitude) then probably 150 HP is enough with a climb pitch prop setting...

From 1984 to 1992 I grew up around Mojave. We had an airplane and had a hanger at the Mojave airport. I worked with the Rutans. I don't have anything really nice to say about them.

Thank you. Like your quality videos and also thank you for metric measurements. And yes to both videos. Fieseler Fi 156 Storch would be worth a video as well.

The canard does not have ailerons, it has the elevator,

The control surfaces which control pitch are called elevators, even on a canard.

I own the plans for one and a diesel engine should vastly increase the range
