My EZ won't go back to ducted fan, but I wish someone would fund
   development of my Canard LSA, rotary ducted fan:

   Perry send me some of those Rhino files and I will do a proper
   rendering. Also are their plans out there for the Lotus MicroLite?
   I think that would be perfect for a Diamond single rotor.

They are DWG files, I can convert them to DXF if necessary.
No plans for the Microlight, I think a copy could be built using the
same building techniques as the Long-EZ.

I flew 3.5 hours from MMV to Logan UT, then 3.0 hours from Logan UT to
Grant NE yesterday. 165 to 175 knots with a slight 5 to 15 knot
tailwind. There was heavy thunderstorm activity at my destination in
Kansas so I had to stay overnight in Grant.
I used the lean control some, but the ECU tended to "hunt" a little with
the faked out lean signal so I opted not to use it most of the time or
used it but only slightly lean. I ran only one fuel pump in cruise, that
slightly reduces fuel pressure but I don't see much effect on O2 sensor
reading by turning off the second pump.

Still some fog at my destination but I will be leaving soon for the
final 1.0 hour leg.

Thanks for the report Perry. Good luck with the weather.
