  1. WARNING: Prepare to lose a lose a certain amount of time once you click over to https://burtrutan.com/brab/ 😁
  2. This item has been marked as SOLD.
  3. Good day and welcome! Please reframe your question after reading the first post in this thread.
  4. Hello, I have edited your For Sale post and changed all mentions of "Cozy" to "Custom Canard" per our guidelines.
  5. How'd I miss this?! It's been here all week! 🤪
  6. I just read your COBA post and agree. This is so well beyond the limits of acceptable customization that it's reckless and irresponsible to refer to this project as any of the Cozy models. Not for the faint of heart (and even those with large ambitions).
  7. Here's another highly modified Cozy IV: https://www.barnstormers.com/classified-1975588-Cozy-MKIV-Project-PartnerSale.html?catid=18763
  8. Hello and welcome! Wood and paper get eaten by bugs, metal rusts, and foam, if in contact with sunlight/UV will degrade. I can't tell what he's asking for it, but compare with buying new against what will be a substantial shipping charge from the UK. If you choose to build you will have plenty of time to find deals that come up from those parting with parts or entire projects. A good option would be to buy the plans from Aircraft Spruce and study them. If you find out you're not into it for any reason, you can sell the plans fairly quickly.
  9. If you have the plans then you have all you need to create a CAD model. Every plane is different, so taking measurements from an existing plane would generate a CAD model for that particular plane.
  10. This item has been marked as SOLD.
  11. Tristan has reported that his Quickie Q2 has sold at the end of last year.
  12. Hello all, I split out the Rotax 914-specific discussion into its own thread (continue to use this thread for 912 discussion): https://www.canardzone.com/forums/topic/70106-varieze-with-rotax-914
  13. Welcome to the forum Mateusz! Sounds like you have a good approach and plan for moving forward. I would try to keep the garage as close to you and your home as possible. You can do so much more when your workshop is close (and operational). Even when planning, pace yourself. Best regards, and welcome!
  14. That is good, but you may want to trust AND verify each change/mark-up.
  15. The top chart is the Styrofoam foam, and the bottom is the Foamular pink board. Compressive strength is higher with the pink Foamular board. Flex strength is not shown for the Styrofoam foam. Having worked with both, I suspect the pink board is actually "stiffer" than the plans material. Regardless, the cells are MUCH smaller in the pink foam and would make bonding difficult (and the results questionable). The "Large Cell" in the Styrofoam product name is important because it easily allows the epoxy to form a strong mechanical bond between the foam and the fiberglass. Absolutely! Spare no expense when building airfoils to plans.
