Seeking Varieze and Long-EZ pilots
Are there any pilots flying the Burt Rutan designs, the Varieze or the Long-EZ, who would be willing to entertain a fellow pilot for the day?
I am based between Bristol and London and am fascinated but the design, I would love to get a flight in one and chat to a pilot about the operating the type.
If anyone knows anyone, please put me in touch. I can offer a flight in the aviation equivalent of a classic British sportscar in return if you fancy it.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have a LongEz and a Cozy, and I'm based at Gloucester.
I'm in the US for a month or so, but give me a call and we can swap rides - what is it you fly?

(I note that there is even a Tipsy Nipper for rather more than £9K. Apparently it is amiable).
