douglasrfix Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Since I (and perhaps others) don't have the AeroCad plans, it would be most kind of you (if you can spare the time) to list the modifications that you are using or not using and why.

Jon Matcho Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I am building a "custom Cozy" with the following modifications: Widened rear per AeroCanard FG plans. This involves widening of the rear landing gear bulkheads and firewall bulkheads, as well as the turtleback. Forward opening canopy per Cosy Classic plans. That's it really. Some of the misconception with "AeroCanard plans" is that they're substantially different than Cozy IV plans. What is mentioned in #1 here is available within the AeroCanard FG/SB plans (same book), which is nothing more than a ~1% change to Cozy IV First Edition plans. There are no other modifications available than what I mentioned. On the other hand, the AeroCanard kit has its own plans and parts. Modifications available with that route include armpit scoops (instead of NACA scoop), additional fuel capacity, and nose-mounted oil cooler (cabin heat) to name a few.
