  1. hi, yup, it was the light version 135 hp. not the 4.0 do note that all these troubles were in the very young stages of these engines, I as far as I know there hasnt been to many issues with it...
  2. Ive been flying the Thielert Diesel engine on 2 different aircraft, have experienced MASSIVE engine problems due to Gearbox overtemps and mainly FADEC issue's, Im in love with the Cozy and im reading thru this to find out what the better engine would be... but im not very convinced it should be this diesel... although I must say, it was a lot of "engine childhood" troubles, but still, have had to many pans and know of 3 full engine shutdowns in the last 12 months edit, Im talking about the 135 hp version
  3. indeed congrats!! Me and a very good friend of mine are interested in building a cozy or long ez. Planning to spend 2007 gaining info, going to exhibitions and clubs to talk to people who have actually build one. Its nice to see that you can start off by buying small parts and doing part by part, rather than having to buy the whole thing in one go! Could you guys tell me, on what you expect to be paying, for building the whole kit, with and without engine? Somewhere on internet I found a guide price of 15k $ for the kit, and expect about 25k $ for the engine, are these figures correct? thanks for all the info, and were looking forward to sending pics of are progress when we start bye the way, i like the website you made showing all the steps! greetz, Pat
  4. hey chairboy! congrats! Myself and a very good friend are interested in building the cozy next year, we've planned this year to go information hunting, and visiting places or people who have built canards. I was pleased to see the amount you payed to get started with building, and its a nice addition that its possbile to start buying small bits and pieces, instead of having to pay a whole lot of money at once. Do you have an idea on what you total cost perspective will be? with and without the engine? kind regards, Pat
