Kent Ashton Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 FWIW, A while back, a friend sent me some pics of a for-sale Cozy he went to look at. This one is overseas. I have done several Tech Counselor inspections and never seen this level of workmanship. It seems to me that this comes from builders who never made much effort to go see a Rutan design under construction, or see them at fly-ins. If you look at a lot of them, you think "Hmm, I should do better." All the vortilons appeared to be installed by cutting the wing. It seems the owner landed NG up at one point. The plans fuel gauges; don't see those very often. Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Ashton Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 A few more. Need access to the control stick bearing nuts? Just cut a slot. Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidhawk9 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I just about shorted out and caught fire just looking at that.

Voidhawk9 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Someone needs to get one of these low-value Cozys sometime and do some testing to destruction, as has been done on other canard types. I'm sure the community would be able to crowd-fund the expenses if the airframe could be acquired for very little.
