First flown in 1979, the Long E-Z is an amateur-built aircraft derived from Rutan’s earlier VariEze model. It is a canard pusher design optimised for long-range, fuel efficient flight. Typically fitted with engines of around 100 horsepower, the Long E-Z cruises at 125 knots and can be configured to carry one passenger in addition to the pilot.

The FSX: Steam Edition version of this quirky aircraft from Virtavia features six variations with 10 liveries, a fully clickable cockpit, and even separate sets of flight dynamics for both engine types (AvCo Lycoming O-235 and O-320). High quality audio is also included as well as a variety of custom animations.
