Here is where I get to share pictures of friends, family, and places
that my long-EZ has taken me, for no other reason than I like the shot.

No website about Long-EZ's would ever be complete without some mention
of sanding. As much as I enjoy working on the plane, it is sanding I detest.
I believe it was Michaelangelo who said that he wasn't creating beauty
from stone, merely releasing the beauty that was already there. With me and fibreglass, when I sand, all I release is dust.

| You'd be amazed how covered with dust you get while sanding... |
My family has been what has made having the plane both possible and
enjoyable. I have often been kept company while I worked on the plane by our pups, Toby and Diva. Unfortunately, Diva passed
away on June 17, 2004. I will miss her nudging the sanding block out of my hand so that I could pet her.
