Hello, This is a beautiful Burt Rutan Long EZ, with a continental 0-200, that was very nicely built. It was previously flying years ago, someone passed away and the plane sat for a while then changed hands a few times, and here it is being restored. I have several plane project going on at the same time, I am an A&P mechanic and pilot/aviation enthusiast for over 35 years now. This plane we started to paint three months ago, we were going with a pink-ish color just to be different. It was primed with a high quality 2 K primmer, the canard is painted as well as the right wing, and the engine cowlings. The fuselage and left wing are primed and ready to be sprayed.We purchased a new tinted canopies and started the install, but it is not completed, it will still need some work to finish glassing in the new canopy glass to the old frame. This Long EZ comes with the o so reliable and fuel sipping Continental O-200 which is a 100 HP motor. This was considered a small engine for the long ez but still plenty sufficient. The range with this set up is over 2000 Miles. And fuel burn should be around 3 to 4 gallons per hour at cruise. I have been told that you should still see speeds of 150 even with this motor. We do not know anything about the history of this motor. We did not yet do a compression test. The motor is located over an hour away from me, and the aircraft is in a few different locations right now but I could put them wall in the same place for the buyer to pick up. We do have most of the instruments that came out of this plane, and possibly a few extras. All flight controls are hooked up and they work perfectly, the brakes are still hooked up, you will just need to hang the motor back on the mount, and start the rigging of the motor and wiring the instruments. Oh, and that canopy I just really need the cash right now, even though, I really do not want to sell this beautiful bird. I have been dreaming of a Long EZ since I was 13.You will have to start the paperwork process all over again with this plane because it was removed from service years ago. call or text me with questions at 516 680-6787 Serious inquires only please, I work 16 hours a day 6 days a week so don"t really have a lot of time for people who just want to talk all day and kick the tires, sorry. Will be located in East Moriches, Long Island NY 07082 Airport is Spadaro 1N2 Pick up only, no shipping, however, for a fee I might be able to assist. Current date: 2016-12-20
