I am just getting ready to start my project, i´m looking forward to some exciting years to come . Since i have a lot of time until i have to install the engine on my plane, and i have not find yet an option that i fell absolutely happy with (Lycoming, old design, expensive; rotary, still not sure about it; auto conversion, lots of , lots of ; turbine, too expensive, great for airplanes) I have decided to ask people who know (that will be all of you), what would be the perfect engine for a Cozy, what are we looking for? I got some ideas about what i want: 180-200 HP, low noise, low maintenance, not 20K +, newer design, not 20 years old (or more),.... I would appreciate your feedback; i will be gathering information from several sources and will post the dream engine specification that i get. Since i live in Mexico and have access to affordable labor costs, i will try to see if i can get something that comes close to it doing must of the work here (information available to everybody of course) Thank you all and hope to get some feedback.

After more than 6 months studing, analyzing, studing, analyzing, i finally have decided to go with the Cozy Mark IV airplane. I am actually only trying to decide to whom i should buy the plans, i have visit both options (cozyaircraft.com and aerocad.com). I would like to get all of the support as a Cozy builder but i really want to expand the rear set width to 39.5, if someone has an opinion to help me make my mind i will apreciate it. I live in Mexico so logistics are going to be a little bit more complicated for me, but i think i will manage to get the project done. I hope i can be of any help to the rest of the builders.
