Long-EZ 2400

Pedants, of course, I think auto correct kicked in there! Can't believe I missed that, I thought I was so careful bearing in mind the pedantry theme :lol:

It is officially called a Long-EZ according to a bit of Googling

I really don't feel this thread is helping Phil in anyway, he's got serious problems at the moment, this plane is troubled with 1040kgs of lipos up front, and Jon's magical pendants aren't going to suddenly make that disappear. He's obviously got a knock off Long EZ2400 in the shape of Lonz EZ2400. Phil also seems to be favouring his nautical Seacraft bolts for wing retention purposes rather than the more commonly used super light Secraft bolts, which might suggest a change of allegiance and he might soon be spotted at Poole Park!

And whilst all this is going on, his recent 'back of house realignment' of the forum has worryingly erasing a legitimate photograph that seem to provide undisputed proof that JRI has a certain flair for dressing up! Of course that can't be verified now, but Mike is still suffering from exposure to that photograph.

But more worrying than all that is that there is a growing body of evidence that the forum has been compromised and melodious acts against members Karma have been identified, these vindictive acts seem to be targeted, but the true scale of the attack is still unknown, but as Phil is the wizard behind the curtain of this forum it is ultimately his responsibility.

Beyond that there seems to be no regard to keeping threads on topic, which is something that deeply troubles Phil

Quiet night Chris?

A bit quiet, yes, how did you know?

Not Just quiet, tuneful too as according to Chris

the forum has been compromised and melodious acts against members Karma have been identified

melodious |məˈlōdēəs|
adjective
of, producing, or having a pleasant tune; tuneful

Maybe it was the tinkling sound of bells hanging from Jon's pendant?

Or was Chris intending to refer to the malodorous karma which made JRI's face filter melt away?

This thread is jinxed!

As the wind is looking unfriendly this weekend, I might have to resort to dusting off the saxophone and have a dabble at a melodious tune or two... I'm sure A rendition of Careless Whisper would go down well at the field:



Have we gone too far off topic yet?

A deliberate miss-spell running all this time and no-one had noticed. So to just prove a point I added another one which took what seemed a millenium to be spotted by young Chris. Chris in fact has had recently so much time on his hands judging by the essay earlier. And no I have not considered my allegiance though it had crossed my mind but due to the fact the lake is drained the thought of flying in a gale at Cashmoor appears a bit more appealing.

I have apologized to JRI for the error but unluckily I had a fleeting glimpse of it. I thought for a moment that a Starship Trooper had invaded our little forum planet.

Back on topic. Chris, the Long-EZ (notice that the topic title has been edited to reflect my poor spelling) with an all up weight of under 14lbs, a kilo of batteries to balance is what is required. I have never been known to turn up at the field with a tail heavy model. Sorry once I did about 6 years ago! It was flying like a helicopter for what seemed ages. Learned my lesson there and soiled underpants.:lol:

Long EZ virtually done and ready to go. Just an air intake and duct for the ESC to create. :woohoo:

Meanwhile David T has advised me of the first Canard Meet to be held in the UK at Seething Airfield in May. 22 pilots from around Europe have booked in to be there. Might just go there myself to view the real aircraft. Maybe get myself a flight from a kindly pilot..:whistle:

Take a look at their Facebook page : UK Squadron III Some good videos, information and photos too. Apparently the cost Rolls turbines have dropped to compare with piston (Lycoming engines) as you see in one video.

Ready for Saturday then Phil?

If I can make the duct up tomorrow Yes but don't hold me to it....

Meanwhile here is my edited down video of Vario EZ versions
