If you have not seen one of these before you are surely missing out. I would
love to have a one.

Great plane and great model.

Skip,
    That's awesome!  That's a great rendering of one of my favorite
aircraft.  Way to go.  Do you use Rhino for other purposes, or did you just
pick it up for modeling things for povray scenes?  I hope you will give it a
great setting and create an awesome scene.  I have included a scan of my
print of the Long-EZ in flight in my next post (about 100 kb); I hope it
will be a useful reference in creating the setting for it.  I noticed a few
differences between your model and the planes in the photo, and I was
wondering if yours is a newer version, or did you or your dad do some
modifications?  The color scheme at least is probably his own design, and
it's very cool.

Skip,

  Way to go on this model! Excellent rendering too. Do you have a larger
image on the web somewhere? I would love to use this as wallpaper! :)

Exporting to POV is not difficult at all.  Rhino even exports to the Moray
UDO format, which makes setting up scenes and textures pretty snappy.
Grouping objects with the same texture in layers and then exporting by
layers makes texture assigning go much faster as well.

Thanks.  I primarily use Rhino for POV-Ray scenes.  Its a great modeler and
exporting is easy.  I have this scan on a CD volume of Rutan plans and I'm
hoping to produce a similar scene.  Right now I'm working on duplicating
this scene (but with the long-ez instead of a defiant):
http://members.aol.com/uiucparty/upload/defiantsmall.jpg  We have this
picture framed in the hangar.

I don't believe that my dad's plane is a newer version.  He
finished it in 1985.  It does vary from the original plans in that it uses
an inset air scoop.  My dad also didn't put wheel pants on the tires because
he said that they would get in the way of operating on a grass air strip.
