There is a Rutan Long EZ that lives at Arlington and flies pretty regularly. The Long EZ is a fun plane just because it is so different from the average. The tandem cockpit is not unique – there are plenty of RVs that give you that – but combine it with the rear wing and the fore plane plus the wing tip fins and you have a far more interesting configuration. Consequently, I want to find some times to get good shots of it.
The one at Arlington has flown a few times while I was there, and I have got these shots. However, I haven’t really got something of it that I really like yet. Let’s hope for a combination of good weather and timing and maybe I shall get something I am more pleased with. In the meantime, I shall continue to get what I can.
That’s me!
Good morning! My name is Doug Loundagin. I recently moved to Arlington and am very interested in going for a ride in this unique aircraft I have seen flying. Would truly enjoy meeting the owner! One of my dreams is to build, own and operate a canard design aircraft.
Please help me contact people in Arlington area that may have information regarding meeting and conversing and (especially) going for a ride! Thanks.
I no longer live in the area, Doug, so unfortunately I can’t help you. There is a Facebook group called FATPNW which might be a good place to start.
