PhatRV Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hello to all, I am new member to the forum. I was interested in building a Rutan design ever since I was a teenager but decided to build a RV instead. However, the interest in building a canard is still in me. I would like to ask if anyone is actively building a canard in SoCal and don't mind if I can drop in to checkout your project and to ask questions. I've seen a few Cozy and LongEZ flying but I am interested seeing a project in the construction phase so I can look to see how much is involved in building a canard. I live in SoCal and I am based in Corona. Thanks for your time, Phat Vu N38PV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolotiyeruki Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Have you joined any of the canard-related mailing lists? There's one for Cozys, another for Quickies, one for Canard Aviators in general, one for Defiants. The mailing lists are fairly active, and it seems like there are a LOT of SoCal canard builders.

zolotiyeruki Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Marc Zeitlin administers the Cozy list, and you can find more info here: http://cozybuilders.org/mail_list/ A general Canard Aviators list and Defiant list live here:https://canardzone.groups.io/g/members And here's a list for Quickies: https://q-list.groups.io/g/main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatRV Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 No joy so far. I suppose most canard builders don't visit here that often. I searched Mykitlog but as I suspected, there are very few canards on there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a regular Saturday gathering at Chino. If you join COBA you can access their list. https://canardowners.com/ Otherwise, I would contact the EAA chapters nearby and ask around. Chapter contacts can be found at EAA.org 1 Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jridge Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 PhatRV- I checked the Canard Owner's & Builder's Association (COBA) database that Kent mentioned above. There's a guy building one in Corona. Others around SoCal too. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
