I wanted to publicly thank both Ron Springer and Dave Harvey, who generously made time during their busy weekends to answer my questions, show me their aircraft, and introduce me to other canard flyers.
It is a great testament to this community that folks like Dave and Ron quickly answered my original posting and me feel welcomed.

The soil in that area can be VERY dry, depending.... If you don't have a VERY good tiedown system, get one. One type screws into the ground IF THE SOIL IS RIGHT. Throw that type away as they won't go into hard dirt. I saw a guy screw one like that in with the help of some water (I brought him the water) until it was almost OK. Then the top broke off, leaving two inches of steel sticking up. I went to mainenance and got a proper tool to dig up the remains.

Many of you may already know this...
Ryszard Zadow provided me some information for Oshkosh EZ parking. He indicated to go to "EZ Street" (make a sign), to park your EZ with others for display. It is located between the homebuilder building and warbirds. I attached a 2019 aerial pic of the location. Everyone bring your Ez and let's fill up that area. I will be arriving with my VariEze (N40LC) on Thursday the 22nd.

Post in Kent's Long-EZ project
Kent Ashton posted a post in a topic,
Saw this oil cooler door idea (pic 1) on a FB page but I don't like it. The chap has an ingenious linkage to open and close the slots in flight but the problem is that when full open, half the cooler is blocked by the apparatus and even when open, the slots create drag on the air flow. In hot weather, you will want the whole cooler working.
I have a pic of a cooler using louvers by Marc Z. that is a better idea but it might be copyrighted so you will have to imagine it. :-)
I did not give this enough thought when building the Cozy. Eventually I arrived at this slider (pics 2,3) which is satisfactory but not in-flight adjustable. With experience, I know about where to set it. This time of year (Nov), it covers about 2/3rds of the cooler. In the winter it will block the entire cooler. Doing it again, I would offset the cooler which might have given the space for a cable-operated slider.
