About the RLU-1 Breezy
The RLU-1 Breezy is an open-framework, pusher-engine homebuilt designed in Illinois in the 1960s. Pilot and passengers sit out in the open in front of the wing, which gives an unmatched view and makes the Breezy a crowd favorite at fly-ins.
Every Breezy is amateur-built, so the quality of the build and the records behind it are the most important part of any purchase.
What to Check When Buying a Used RLU-1 Breezy
- Builder records, weld and tube structure condition.
- Wing and fabric condition.
- Engine type, hours and maintenance.
- The annual condition inspection and who performed it.
