Hempearth's manufacturing vendor was
formed in 1984 by Danny Maher in Sebastian,
Florida, to develop and market a new 4-seat
canard aircraft, based upon the successful
Long-EZ design.
After the prototype flew in July 1985, several
kits were sold and close contact was
maintained with initial builders to get
valuable feedback in areas where the design
could be (and subsequently was) improved.
Hempearth's manufacturer and vendor
received rave reviews by all of the flying
press, and the 173 "LW" (long wing) model
went on to further enhance the design.
