2017年2月15日 · I've flown both (and work on both) and while the Berkut's a nice enough plane, there are many things about it that are worse than the Long-EZ, as well as a few that are nicer. Now, for an O-540 Berkut, maybe the added performance is worth the price - I know folks that cruise cross-country (east coast to west or vice versa) in daylight at 22K ...

2007年5月3日 · Sohail, unless you have a Berkut kit, you cannot truly build a Berkut. You can look for a "Berk-EZ" (search that term or similar), which is an informal enhancement of the Long-EZ to incorporate select

2007年9月17日 · A Berkut 360 can do about 220 kts, a 540 about 250 kts if everything is dialed in well. You absolutely need to buy the drawing set from John Griffiths, and join the email list through Rob Cherney. Quote

2020年7月20日 · Hello everyone! I'm just getting started on research to build my next experimental aircraft. I'm looking at both the Berkut and Long-EZ (Open-EZ) airframes.

2006年10月6日 · I'd bet "not quite". The Long-EZ was NOT designed to have a 540 in the back, whereas this was in mind as part of the design effort for the Berkut. If I had unlimited cash, I'd probably consider an Open-EZ 540, or at least a 360 (or 390 or 400). Not in that position, I'm more intrigued by a high-power 320 with adjustable prop.

2019年7月18日 · The Berkut has always used the Roncz 1145MS canard airfoil, which is more tolerant of insect and rain contamination than the GU 25-5(11)8 airfoil originally used on the Long-EZ. This kit was sold with "molded wings (including flat stock for ribs and spars)" so I you seem to be correct about the wing with ribs.

2024年6月2日 · The closest we have are the winglet / wing intersection fairings that James Redmon implemented on his Berkut 360, which, after optimization, got him 2 - 3 KTAS at the top end (210 - 220 KTAS, IIRC). So the implication is that there is a small amount of drag reduction that is possible with optimal blending, but no one has achieved that yet.
