Did you ever post the results of your colaboration?

Maybe we could come up with a composite Bearhawk?

I would like to buy one as well...

Did you fly your 360 LongEZ accross the Pacific?!!!

There is such a thing as OCR (optical character recognition). If some one had hard copies of any of this old information and scanned it in using OCR it would be very easy (there would be some busy work involved in formating etc) to create text searchable information and format it either as pdf files or hyper-text. This would also facilitate dare I say it... "updating" the plans or "changing" them.

If the sale falls through please contact me. I have family in the area I need to visit anyway.

I have downloaded all the files. I have printed the PDFs and checked the Axis on each. They are all correct. I still need to get the Turf CD. I have a large family. I wanted to build a Cozy MK IV but it won't hold my family. MY GIB is actually a FIB (family in back), and the GIB says she won't fly in a plane I built until I have proven I can do so safely. So I am thinking of building the OpenEZ while I examine the stretched and lengthened cozies to design and build my MK VII. One further question... if this is a project, something dissassociated from the original EZ design, why can we not then update the PDF plans with all the newsletters etc, update the drawings some, and post the OpenEZ pdf plans bundled with the drawings? This would eliminated the need to consult newsletters and make the complete plan available and "Open" thus truly ensuring new airplanes continue to be built. If we can provide the drawings we have then the hidden bell horns, the Roncz canard, the larger rudders, everything should be able to be included. In other words... If we can have one part "Open" the whole thing should be able to be. Here's a thought. Maybe even put them in forum format on the web. People can then upload pictures, movies, tips, and tricks, right to the forum for each chapter of the build. Now that would be cool. I am willing to contribute to the work. I am willing to reformat and update the content if someone sends me the pdf files for the EZ plans. I am well equiped to do so. Feel free to contact me privately outside of these postings, you can do so using the member list. Ciao for now!

Tony, I downloaded your work from ez.org (very nice by the way). Where are you guys posting what you have done recently? ---Mike

I am completely on board. I understood about the Long EZ templates but until your last couple of posts I didn't realize that you were also talking about modified cozy templates. This is very, very cool. ---Mike

You guys know there are dxf and pdf files of the Cozy MKIV bulkheads, the canard, and the wings posted on the Cozybuilders website right? ---Mike

Perhaps post both the DXF files and the pdf files? I can use DXF. ---Mike
