Jon Matcho Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Received the plans from Aircraft Spruce yesterday and signed the license agreement.Congratulations!!! I guess I am now "officially" a Cozy builder. YaaaaHooooo!Not so fast... I think you're required to ruin one article of clothing with epoxy, and THEN you can call yourself a builder. WIll probably start construction right after I get back from RR.I plan to restart construction the same time. I'll race you to finish...

rnbraud Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Thanks. An you are right, I haven't spilled any epoxy yet. However, I am looking through glasses right now that have some dried epoxy on the corners which was deposited there during my practice layups! When I get the first epoxy on the first bulkhead then, and only then, wiill I be a "real" builder. Thanks again and I hope to meet you at Rought River this weekend! Later.

Kraig Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I could'nt agree more. Going thru chapter 3, building practice pieces, you are a builder. I cannot tell you how much experience those pieces gave me. My seatback looks good, F-22 and F-28 look real good, and my IP looks even better. My hardpoints are perfectly flat and the exact thickness, (24 plies for me). Every piece gets better with the practice. I am waiting to do my Landing Gear Bulkheads till I get the Cozy Girrrls Lovac demo at RR this weekend. I have had the pump for a while, but I am a "show-me" kind of person, and I think this is the way to go for flat stuff. Plus it is just the natural progression of things that I am learning. Build away! Kraig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later. rn, you cna get some Parker-51 log time in building by simply pouring epoxy on your nicest shirt --- no one will ever know Welcome to the group.
