BEWARE! I owned a Long-Eze for a few years, it's a lovely aircraft to fly but wholly unsuitable for ab initio training.
The noseleg is spindly and the canopy can't be opened from the rear seat. The only controls in the rear are the stick, pedals and throttle (no gear, airbrake, carb heat, mixture, instruments, etc). Landing and take-off roll are relatively long and it's quite sensitive in pitch. Canard stall characteristics are "different". There are many other reasons not to do it.
Type conversions are normally done with the convertee doing a couple of circuits from the back seat and then flying solo (from the front).
