Hello Aviators
This is my first post...
I am the current owner of Long Ez G-MUSO and was fascinated to stumble across this thread. I'm not the tornado pilot, he was a previous owner. I only have about 400hrs on various types of aircraft.
I fly out of Seething Airfield EGSJ with a 800m runway and airborne at the 550 mark. It lands much shorter if the speed is right. Sitting high in the seat with my head about an inch from the canopy as recommended I find the visibility fine on final, even with a high angle of attack. My first few flights in MUSO were scary/exciting as I didn't really have any instruction, just a little bit in of back seat time in another LE and the POH. But over all I think its fairly EZ to fly and I agree with everything EZPilot said. Its was just a little intimidating at first.
I should have my display authority on it completed soon and will display it initially at the Seething Charity Air Day this summer. http://seething-airfield.com/airday.php
I love flying this Rutan designed plane and it ticks all the boxes for me, and I would really like to chat with docjell sometime about the build of this great aircraft.
Thanks
