Kent Ashton 130 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent Ashton 130 Posted June 22, 2017 A few more. Need access to the control stick bearing nuts? Just cut a slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voidhawk9 33 Posted June 23, 2017 I just about shorted out and caught fire just looking at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voidhawk9 33 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
