Today Izzy speaks with the founder of Jet Guys, Robert Harris. Robert was "invited" to join the army early in life and then retired from Northwest Public after twenty years. He has been an airframe and powerplant mechanic for over 40 years. Robert's canard journey began long ago when he built his Rutan VariEze. He enjoyed the project so much that he started "The EZ Hangar," a company aimed at providing support, services, and education to the growing canard world. The EZ Hangar grew and is now known as The Jet Guys, based in Covington, TN at the M04 airport. The Jet Guys work on more than just jets, staying true to their canard roots. Robert's crew can rebuild your existing canard aircraft or even help you get your own project across the finish line. If you find yourself in Robert's shop you will hear classic rock tunes playing in the background while he enjoys his favorite Marie Callender's lunch. Who knows, maybe you will even catch a glimpse of the custom "horseless carriage" that he built. But that's a story we will have to get to another day. For now, let's jump into the middle of Izzy's conversation with Robert about canards and N86LE, his Long-EZ lovingly named "Purple."
