Bio


My name is Ary J. Glantz. Aviation is my passion. I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Since then, I have worked for Cessna, Bombardier and NASA – mainly involved with aerodynamics, wind tunnel testing and aircraft design. I am also a pilot with instrument and commercial ratings. My dream is to one day incorporate my love of art into my very own design of the ultimate flying machine.

    Ary,

    I had been searching for a set of comprehensive Long-ex plans and yours is the most comprehensive i have seen. RAF is not selling them any more. Thank you so much for sharing your resources experience building this fantastic aircraft. I am an architecture student in Singapore and one day, I too might build one. Slowly gathering the knowledge and resources to do so.

    all the best!

    Ary
    As a former Long-ez owner I was very impressed with your site. I restored my plane after it had sat for 10 years (the builder got into boat racing)so it needed a lot of attention but I loved every minute of it. I look forward to seeing your progress, the videos are great. Keep up the good work.

    Great information. I am looking at the fuselage design for an autogyro idea I have. How much would you say the fuselage weighs in the Chapter 9 Part 2 video ?

    Thanks Ary

    Ary, fantastic site. The work you put in is very helpful. Thank you.

    I've been planning on building my own EZ and wonder what your opinion is on a couple of things.

    1. Downdraft versus updraft cooling. I've seen a lot of discussion about this. I think the original EZ design is updraft. Which way are you planning.

    2. Engine size. I think you are planning to use a Lycoming IO-320, which is common for an EZ. But the original design is for a 200 or 235. I think that is approx. 105 HP and 120 HP compared to approx 150 HP. I haven't seen this discussed, but does this affect the angle of incidence of the wing and canard?

    Love your site! I want to buy a finished LongEZ and I need as much information as possible, and your site is teaching me a lot of things about that aircraft! In fact I'm thinking about building my own!

    Thanks for the time you spend sharing your knowledge!!!

    Ary,

    Greetings from Carlsbad, Ca. Thanks for taking the time to document and share your build. Few people will ever commit to such an epic project so kudos to your vision and focus.

    See you at Oshkosh!!!

    Crap. Now I've seen it done so I think I'm gonna have to build one. is there any call for the use of carbon tow around holes that will see stress? Could you use carbon fiber for rudder, speed break, strngers.... And is there any instructions or blogs with anyone who used vacuum bags? Great work! Trying to talk my son into going to ER instead of ASU. Very cool!

    Awesome job! I love watching your progress. I wish more people were building these right now because I have so many questions! I’ve pretty much made up my mind to build one once I wrap up current projects. My Comanche is a great plane but loves 100LL. I need an ultra efficient two seater for my second plane.
