My Airplane
My airplane is a Long-EZ, a canard pusher designed by Burt Rutan
in the late 1970s. Mine was built from plans (not a kit) and finished in
1997. In spite of its 30-year-old
design, it is as fast and economical as any of today's homebuilts (and
much more so than any certificated model of similar horsepower). For more information
on the breed, read about it here.

Location
The
following links will display the position and track of the aircraft
using the APRS equipment installed in Long-EZ 821RP. APRS (Automatic
Position Reporting System) is a technology that uses GPS and VHF ham
radio to transmit position reports as packets of data. The data
eventually makes its way to servers on the Internet which can be
queried to display current position and track overlaid on an
appropriate map.
