Thanks for your input. I thought I remembered something about a significant change in performance being a major change. I will have to go read the nebulous language again. Everyone defines “significant” differently. Maybe I can hold off and wait until I want a new prop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Ashton Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Walsh Cozy III projects reduced to $5K today on the Cozybuilder's list. Previously discussed here https://www.canardzone.com/forums/topic/21972-sales-ive-seen/?do=findComment&comment=61273 A long-EZ builder could probably buy the wings and centerspar. The C-III wings are the same as an EZ. I believe the centerspar is also the same, or close but check me on that. Seller just wants to get his hand out of the jar. [Old joke: Little boy crying, hand stuck in a jar says, "I don't want the prize, I just want to get my hand out of the jar."] Yep, I would like to get my hand out of a BD-5 jar. 🙂 Edited December 22, 2018 by Kent Ashton Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to look at it this weekend. It comes highly recommended, but I'll be doing my own assessment. Also, I was going to buy that 80CZ. I met the seller, agreed on his asking price, and he was going to fly it to me in a couple of days. A couple days later, I contacted him to lock in the meeting point, and he had sold it to someone else. Someone else must have made him a higher offer than his asking price.

Let us know what you think of N44TJ but when a seller is demanding de-registration and you know the engine has problems, it better be pretty danged cheap. I wouldn’t drive very far to see such an airplane unless the seller understands that. There will be others—lots of old EZ builders are aging-out these days.

The previous commenter may be 100% correct with his assessment and claims, or may be completely false and inaccurate. His oil analysis does lend some credibility, so I'll definitely give it a close look. Not buying it immediately, but will give it a good look.

Kent Ashton Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 From the Cozybuilders list yesterday. A tub on the main gear Quote The build proceeded in order and I have completed the Canards primary construction, but it has not been installed yet. You can find everything you may need in my online build log at http://www.ez.org/pages/mattstecher/index.html I am hoping for $3500 and don’t have anything for future chapters other than the canard elevator cores.

Kent Ashton Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Today on ebay: Pretty good price at $7000. Listed as a Cozy III but it's actually a Mk -IV https://www.ebay.com/itm/COZY-III-Airplane/254091469553? Seller says" Quote This is an unfinished Cozy airplane that I bought from a man who was presented a completed airplane while this was under construction and he took it. This was constructed very professionally and with the guidance of EAA member support and, of course, any and all PCB's (production change bulletins) from Cozy. I have one hundred percent confidence in the integrity of the project and would love to finish and fly it. However, I had serious cardio vascular surgery and the doctor made it clear that my flying days are over. Included in the base price of $7,500 is a Cozy 3 with almost all the glass work done. Canard (Rontz with 2 VOR antennas installed), Fuselage, Hardware such as torque tubes, landing gear hardware, brackets, etc...basically the entire aircraft structure is done with little additional hardware to purchase. The strakes need to be built and few other small glass projects but the "biggies" are done. Needed to complete, engine, canopy, engine mounting, avionics. interior... My assessment is that it would require about ten thousand total to complete and result in a fifty thousand dollar airplane... just add "sweat equity" which is a labor of love for people like me "10K to complete". That's pretty funny but if you got it for $7K, it would be a danged cheap Mk-IV. It all looks pretty good. I don't see any canopy or winglets stacked around but still . . .where were these deals when I wanted to build 😞 Edited January 23, 2019 by Kent Ashton Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only two reasons that anyone lists aircraft that are worth $35K - $50K for $75K or $117K. And those are that they're hallucinating, or that they've told their spouse that they're going to sell the plane but don't really want to. Because there is zero chance that either one of those planes (or a few of the COZY's that are for sale) will sell for anywhere near their asking price. This MIGHT be a $45K plane, but I'd have to see it to know. Quote Marc J.

Kent Ashton Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I met a guy who had a very nice RV-6. He said he went to Oshkosh, picked out the niceist RV and kept offering more money until the owner agreed to sell it.

Kent Ashton Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Today on Ebay: Wing cores in Canada. Item 132940500989. I see that Eureka says it is no longer stocking foam. It appears they may be getting out of the business; I would not surprised given the dismal level of building these days http://www.eurekacnc.com/Home.htm Anyway $3000 for cores does not sound that cheap to me and cutting cores is a fun exercise. I recently saw foam at a nearby insulation company (pics 2,3). This stuff, I think: http://www.qualityfoam.com/docs/trymer-2000-xp.pdf The gent said he would sell it for about $100 a bun vs. $218 at ACS. I love a gouge like that!
