  1. Thanks for the reply, John. I've just had an e-mail exchange with Nat Puffer; his reply was encouraging, indicating only that I would need to incorporate an electric speed brake (which sounds like a good idea anyway) and move the heating duct from the center of the fuse to the side. I'm told that one can also slightly modify the canopy height to increase room. I'd like to leave the back seat as roomy as possible to encourage passengers to ride with me. I'm off to look at my friend's machine this afternoon and talk it over with him.
  2. 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
