Tony, Thanks for your reply. It is difficult to find another aircraft that will fly 1100 nm nonstop for for the same cost as a Cozy. My building (or buying) project is still a few years away but I still consider the Cosy in spite of the risk of icing. I guess you just have to chose the right day to fly Other small aircraft are not so pleasant in icing conditions either.... Melki

I am planning to build an airplane that is capable of flying 1100 nm nonstop. It has to have resonable low operating cost and preferably a diesel or turboprop powerplant. Gas is expensive here! Is Cozy Mk4 a good choice? I live in Sweden and I am a little concerned about how ice affect the aerodynamic and flying characteristics of canard type configurations. I do not intend to fly into icing conditions, but I will fly IMC. On these latitudes with winter 8 months of the year it could be difficult to avoid some icing. I would appreciate feedback from anyone with experience or knowledge in this topic. Thanks Melki
