g-man Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Schneider Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 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. Quote "I run with scissors."

Jon Matcho Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 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 Quote Jon Matcho Builder & Canard Zone Admin Now: Rebuilding Quickie Tri-Q200 N479E Next: Resume building a Cozy Mark IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-man Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 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 ------------ | | | | 19 ft | | | | | | ------- | | | | | 49ft | | | | | | | | | | ------------------- 20 ft Thanks for thelp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-man Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 Dang!. The forum software clipped the white space so you can't see the dimensions. Here is another attempt 14 ft .............___________ .............|................| .............|................| .....19ft..|................| .............|................| .............|................| ________ ................| |.............................| |.............................| 49 ft |.............................| |.............................| |.............................| |.............................| |.............................| |.............................| ----------------------- 20 ft Where there is a will, there is a way!

g-man Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 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. Quote "I run with scissors."

g-man Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
