I have read several stats, but none of them are consistent on the number of Cozy IVs are in the air. Anyone know the real number of active birds? Also, I am starting to get concerned about the safety of the design. I started out looking at the Cozy for its canard design and ease of construction. But if it is not going to be safe, then I will look elsewhere. I have read about the CG issues and how ‘delicate’ the design is related to CG. I have also read about the accelerated stall issues. I am not a high time pilot and have no interest in a design that puts you in harms way. Is this bird for a more experienced pilot? Should I buy a Cherokee and get a few hundred hours under my belt?

Thanks for the post, you bring up a good point - when you start talking about several hundred thousand dollars, you have to look at the other options. There are some nice piston planes in the 200k range. It would be nice to see a Cozy style 6 seat with a single jet. I guess the intriguing part for me is how to get into a jet for less than the cost of worn out production model and still have the room a 6 place offers. Thanks again for the post - look forward to seeing more on your long-term project!

I know it is a tall order, but there are serveral people adapting jet technology to Cozys. But is anyone aware of an updated canard / pusher kit / plans that are using newer technology and getting more out of the plane?

I started out with no interest in retracts, but now I want them. But I have yet to find a set that, IMHO, are reasonably priced. I do not understand why certain vendors are getting 5k+ for their mains? Is anyone aware of a reasonably priced solution? I am not cheap and am not willing to buy inferior parts, but 5k seems like a lot for what I have seen. Any thoughts?
