My History with the Aircraft. 

Note to sellers....when I was looking at Long EZ's to purchase I looked at a lot of them in this price range.  Many were rough to say the least.  They had major waves in the layups.  Lousy paint.  One had power wires wrapped around the control rods.  Yet another with full left and right stick only moved the ailerons  half the distance they are required to go.  I had this airplane checked out and it passed every test.  It is one of the straightest Long EZ's out there and it looks good.  It has really good craftsmanship and was build with great precision and detail. 

I purchased the Aircraft in Idaho in April 2010. I flew it from Idaho to South Carolina.  It flies great!  This was an opportunity for me to test everything out.   I had the following changes made since I purchased the aircraft:
Replaced Exhaust System
Replaced Engine Baffles
Replaced Nose Gear Bushing
Cleaned Cowls and engine
Installed rear control stick for passenger
Propeller removed, inspected, BALANCED and reinstalled
Installed Engine Information System with Oil Temp, Oil Press, Fuel Press, Cylinder Head Temp (4 cylinders). Exhaust Gas Temp (4 Cylinders), RPM, Amp, Outside Air Temperature Gauge
Installed Electronic Flight Instrumentation System
Installed VHF radio/intercom
Rewired Aircraft Ground
Changed Oil and cleaned oil screen, inspected spark plugs
Rebuilt fuel caps
Lower Winglet Mod
Installing new VHF antenna (in work)
Annual Conditional Inspection by A&P May 2010
So why sell?  My wife is not excited about the airplane or anything related to the airplane. If you're married you understand.
