Since at least the Long EZ plans are no longer offered for sale,
somebody should just scan those suckers and post 'em on the web. "1engineer" wrote in message et... Looking for Long EZ, Berkut or Q2 plans so that I may build an RC model, 1/4 - 1/3 scale.

Okay, now I get you. I meant to say that somebody should post the
plans for a "Long EZ like" plane- The Extended E-ZEE. It just happens to also be a tandem seat canard of composite construction much like a lot of other copies of that ubiquitous airplane. Information needs to be free. [beware, troll ahead] We have to get away from business models that depend on the enforcement of unenforceable laws, if forces business people into bed with law-makers (politicians). osite (RobertR237) wrote in message ...

So why are the plans no longer avilable? When I first started to desire to
build, I was looking at the EZ airplanes. I figured I'd be better off sticking with wood and fabric. Thanks, Fred "1engineer" wrote in message t...

More than likely they were withdrawn out of a fear over liability or the owners just couldn't justify the time and expense of supporting them. Whatever the reason, Bob is right. Intellectual property law serves the public good. That's the reason the Constitution gives Federal government control of copyright and patents - to encourage the "useful arts and sciences." If Burt wants to put the EZ plans in the public domain, he's free to do so. No one else. For all the jawing about "information should be free" - and there is in fact a TON of taxpayer-funded (nothing's free) aeronautical information available for the downloading from NASA and the dot-gov sites, including AC 43 and the AIM/FAR - there doesn't seem to be a single "open source" airplane design. The closest are arguably the Pietenpol Air Camper, Evans VP-1, and Bowers FlyBaby, but the plans aren't *free.* Very reasonably priced, but *not* free. |
