Home > Our Planes > Kevin Minckler: Long-EZ

Here some shots of my current passion, LongEZ, N8CP. It's an awesome 200MPH machine.

This photo was taken right before the EAA Oshkosh 2005 Homebuilt Review fly-by. Note the cool new baggage pods. 180HP Lycoming 0-360 powered.
At Airventure
One of the pictures from its original home in Texas. This plane was built by the late H.E. Crocker.
Back in Texas
Another shot from the original Texas home. It's really an awesome machine.
Also in Texas
Home base at KHVN. It's in the grazing position. Ask me what that means and why we do it.
Home is New Haven
In the air over Texas. See! It really does fly! It's the only type of plane I know of that's a "semi-retract". Retractable nose gear but fixed mains.
