Oooh. oooh! I know, I know ... finally a question I can answer! The point of contact is: Winston Uy craftsandmodels@yahoo.com His U.S. mailbox is: Winston Uy Building 3005 Unit 168 4440 NW 73rd Ave Miami, Florida 33166 There were also some other links posted on the COZY mail list (I haven't tried any of these links); https://www.rchomebuilts.com/Velocityxl.htm There are kits for a Long-EZ and Berkut available, too: http://www.fuscoaircraft.com/aircrafts.html More Long-EZ plans, "true-scale" http://www.geocities.com/rclong_ez/index.html A 1/4-scale Velocity and a 1/3-scale Starship.. http://www.pongo-air.com/customdes.html

I really regret not starting the project earlier. I received the plans, looked for suppliers in my country, read the archives, researched builders excellent web sites and basically umm'ed and ahh'ed for about a year before doing anything about starting to build. By the time I'd applied for permission to the Norwegian FAA to start building (things are a bit stricter here than in the US), I could have been 20% further on in the project! My recommendation is, if you have decided to build a Cozy, jump right in and buy materials for whatever you can afford and start building. You'll soon see that the techniques are easy to understand and learn. By the way, I'm just finishing up Ch. 5, but I'm waiting for a cold spell to end before doing the last layup on the top longeron on the port fuselage side. It's been -10 to -14C here the last few days, and I can't get my workshop up to temperature! Can't wait to get a 3D object to look at in Ch.6! By the way, my workshop is under 7ft by 15ft, so even a small space is not an excuse, at least to begin with! Cheers Andy Richardson Cozy MkIV Ch.5 Stavanger, Norway
