I have been a lurker on this site for a while and I have a few questions to post to forum. I am 6'1" 220# 34" waist but 23" across shoulders. I really do not want a 4 place plane, but a 2 seat tandem aircraft. I had narrowed choices to the RV-8 and Long-EZ. Problem is the Long is a tight fit and the I would have cg issues in the RV due to size of my passengers (most often brothers and father) +260#.
1) Is there any issue with making the Cozy a large tandem aircraft? (King-EZ maybe)
2) I have a friend with a Long and have flown in it and wonder if the Cozy is as much fun to fly?
3) Could I narrow the Fuse at the front seat a little. (won't need the space)
4) Any problem with using the O-360 with a Constant Speed prop?
Thanks all, I'm sure I will be posting more questions.
