How much space

[g-man]

I am interested in building a Cozy Mark IV and would like to know how much space is required to accomplish the task. I have a three car garage but it is only two cars wide with one bay being two cars deep.

One guy started his project in his apartment.

Another built his entire plane on his back porch. Unscreened, in FL.

Then another is building in a 1/2 occupied 2 car garage.

I'm building in a 20'x22' tent, (Kinda), and it feels like I have tons-o-room.

 

Size needed is inversely proportional to your desire to build.

 

Scan the various websites for yourself and you'll see all sorts of sizes. In my opinion, you have enough room.

G, you have plenty of room to begin. I am building in 1/2 of a 2-car garage. By the time you get to the wings, you'll have some new decisions to make, such as how to get it out of there if you decide to assemble in the garage.

 

You're set to build for many hours if you can:

• Build using the entire space
• Build in the 2-car part
• Build in the 1-car part

Thanks for the replies. I have ordered an infopack and hope it comes with some dimensions. My hope is start in the 14 by 19 space that does not have a car in it and then when I get to the wings be able to turn it sideways in the three car garage to finish. This is course if the canard installation can wait to the very last. So if I turn it sideways, will it fit?

My 3 car garage looks like this

 

14 ft

Dang!. The forum software clipped the white space so you can't see the dimensions. Here is another attempt

I got my info-pack from aircraft spuce and started measuring and calculating. I scaled my garage dimensions to the Cozy drawing, traced the the Cozy onto to a piece of paper then cut it out for little paper Cozy and laid it over my scaled garage drawing and determined that I can fit the whole dang thing in the garage but getting it out with wings on would very tight.

Sooo... Take the wings OFF!! (When you need to.)

Looks like you got plenty of room to at least begin.

I suppose the truck the Cozy to airport the wings need to come anyway right? I don't think neighbors would let me fly it off our street!
