Ashevillian Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi All, I started building my Cozy in 1984. Got a good bit built, and then life happened. Now semiretired, and working on completing it. I realized I never got a serial number for Nat. Any one have any idea how to contact him now? Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Matcho Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I haven't seen or heard from Nat for quite some time. He hasn't been involved with anything Cozy related for upwards of 2 decades. You don't actually need a serial number -- there's practically zero benefit or need for having one in the U.S.A. If you must have one you just call Aircraft Spruce (the current owner/distributor of the plans) and explains your situation. Make sure you have applied all of the corrections identified in all of the newsletters though. Also... welcome back! 😀 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...
Jon Matcho Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Also, I just noticed you're posting in the Cozy III & Cosy Classic forum. Those plans are no longer commercially available, and I doubt you'll get any support from ACS. Then again, you'll get near-zero support (from ACS if you had Cozy IV plans (beyond the serial number topic).

The FAA will let you use whatever number you want when you register your airplane. However, it should have been written on your builder's manual and a license page. Normally you signed the license page and returned it to Nat and that was your permission to build but that was only between you and Nat. Last I heard, Nat is in a nursing home somewhere but I have not heard anything new lately. Aircraft Spruce owns the rights now. They might have a list but frankly, I wouldn't worry about it.
