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.
The perfect engine

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.
