RE: Strange planes
Had two home buit fly in and they had to stand them on their nose when they parked them, weird looking birds. I didn't get what they were but they said it was because of the balance with the pilot, they were nose heavy.

Thats called a Long EZ. It is a very fast bird. They park them that way because when the pilot isn't in it, the cg is back far enough that it can tip over backwards.
Mine is longer than a standard Long EZ and I can set it on all 3 gear and walk away, but if someone gets it going, it will go over backwards. Therefore, it gets parked that way too.
