Would like to help this guy out. Anyone familiar with this plane?
This sounds like a Quickie, not a Long EZ. Here's a pic:

or does it look like this:

The first is a Quickie, the second a Long EZ. If a Quickie, what worked for me was to treat both wings as a single big wing, find the MAC for the imaginary new wing, the find the percentage of the MAC.

I hope this helps,

Daren
