Greetings all-New member looking forward to learning a lot about canard-type AC.
My ultimate goal is an X-C IFR-capable aircraft. I am interested in the Cozy (either 3 or 4) as a possible candidate; a friend is building one and it seems within my capability.
However, I am "larger than the average bear" and the weight restriction for the front seat is a concern.
I have a book "The Complete Guide to Rutan Aircraft" in which Nat Puffer is quoted as saying that a single front seat might be possible. Now I have a 39-inch wide cockpit, with room in the back for one or two more folks. This is an attractive prospect.
Can anyone direct me to someone who has done this, or similar?
Many thanks, and glad to be aboard.
Regards, Mike
