Hi All

I am thinking of selling my Cozy IV project that I have at Holbrook NSW Australia in my hanger. Reason im thinking of selling, is because I do not have much time to build these days

If you live in Australia and are looking to build a Cozy IV and want to buy a Cozy IV project. please contact me U4iadog@hotmail.com

I have al parts to finish air frame. It is on wheels

Cheers Don

Dear All

Has any one made a wider Vari EZ, say the same width as the Long EZ or wider?

Has any one modifided a variez to make the front seat wider from a standard variez size seat ?

Cheers Don

Hi Raikil

 

I don't really intend putting one in my Cozy, at least not yet, but I'd like to see how it was done.

Why not but one in a Cozy 4 ? im looking into doing so.

:banana: :banana:

Hi All

Just a question, How about 2 , 2 bladed props counter rotating, using a gear box to do this.???

Dear all

I am building a Cozy 4 but it feels like im building a steam engine, because all you USA chaps are still on imperial not metric unit.

Do you think USA will ever go metric?

I think your friend should look at the Vari-EZ as it is only a 100 hp canard. Unless your friend is an aero engineer, advise hime to stick to designs that are working.

Hi Karoliina

I would advise your friend to look at other canard aircraft, not the Vari-Viggen

Have a look at web site like http://www.ez.org/ http://www.eracer.org/

Cheers Don

Hi Spodman

Some of those reg,s sound bad but funny.

Have you started building yet?

Cheers Don

Hi

You can not put that plane on this forum its a normal plane. It also has the canard in the wrong place ha ha. It must be very cold in Finland now. It was when i was in Helsiky many years ago at this time. Get a canard plane as they fly better i feel than normail plans. Well i think im just going to carry on building my Cozy 4 and leard from the costruction prosess.

Have a look at this http://qmain.tripod.com/raptor.htm

I think sombody placed the canard in the wrong place

Hi karoliina's

Thank you for that

As for the Rotax 503 and other 2 stroke rotaxes, it is cheep engine and reliable if you manage it. I have many flight houres with them, Good engine managment is needed with 2 stroke engines

I was thinking of a cheap,fastbuild kit. ill look into it after doing my cozy4

Dear All

There have been small single seat canard design aircraft like the Quicky. but i have never seen a single seat canard design that is like the Long-EZ or Cozy.

So hear is my Design Brife for one

Single seat canard design like Long-Ez

fast build

Powered by 503 Rotax

Pilot weight to 110kg

Fast

Good visability

I would like to hear other peoples thoughts on it.

My thoughts are that it may get builders to build composit canard aircraft. I am not an aircraft engineer so do not feel i could design my self.

Dear All

Just an idea, Putting 4 inch landing lights in the lower winglet ( lower part of the Rudder) Cozy

Has any one done it ? Cozy

Cheers

Dear All

I thourght the French has style ! but the Ibis look like a dog

Dear All

Well i live in Melbourne Australia and due to the great freight deal i get with ACS it is cheaper for me to get from ACS. I am sure Wicks are very good but it is the freight that kills. The ACS is better too for ordering online as you can take out parts from your Chapter order. If Scott can find a way to get the freight to Melbourne Australia cheep it would be good. Like find some freight company sending a container over to Melbourne every month, like ACS.

At this stage i have no choice. : :

Dear All

Dose any one know of a constant speed prop full feathing, reverse thrust for a 0-360

Cheers Don

Dear All

Question

Would it be possable to coloure the (White)dry micro black in order not to have to spray black primer?? carbon microspheres???

Hi Marc

I totaly agree with you

Hi All

What is an Ibis

Cheers Don

Dear All
