The Flite Test LongEZ is a great "bank and yank" semi scale DIY electric airplane kit. Simplicity was the theme of this design and our hopes are that it can be built and flying in no time! One motor, an ESC, and two servos are all you need to get the Long EZ in the air. Powered with the power pack A it can run off of a 2s battery for more beginner friendly characteristics, or use a 3s to make it a ballistic speed plane! The original Long EZ is an icon of experimental aviation and this model is no different.

Flite Test LongEZ Electric Airplane Kit (483mm)
Not for novice fliers! As built to plans, this plane is very difficult to fly. The large elevons make it very sensitive, and though I've now made a number of modifications it still is difficult to keep in the air. Small movements to CG cause big balance problems. I found CG to be back of the plans location. I think it is too heavy for its size. Like most foam board planes, it gets damaged easily, even in minor crashes. The nose, canard, and wing tips are very vulnerable. Though repairable, our nice plane looks terrible after the first relatively minor crash.
For reference, I built the FT22 as well, and it is a very flyable plane. It also looks terrible now, but we get as much flight time as repair time. Not so with the Long EZ.
