  1. awesome info thanks guys....can i call it a "really cozy"? lol. i have been toying with the thought of becoming an eaa memeber, for a while now. there is a local chapter with something like 4 or 5 cozy builders, and there are 4 longs, 1 vari, and 1 cozy at the local field. i have been to a few of the pilots assocation meeting for the state, thanks to my flight instructor. Recently, i have not been able to get a hold of my flight instructor and not very happy with the FBO. looking to change fields. i am at about 13 hrs toward the Private. Passed medical. I actually wanted to build a cozy before i wanted to fly. i just figured i wanted to be able to fly the thing when i am finshed. Back on point. the sides ARE attached to the bulkheads, one of the foward braces...f-22 doubler sticks....but that could vari easily be wrong, is located in the incorrect spot. this was cut out by the previous owner. when i went through the plans, i noticed the builder was very meteculis...or should i say anal. Not complaining, he went through every newsletter and updated the plans. I believe them to be first released set. he marked the date of everything he did on the plans, and even wrote some nots about each. updated the BOM and so forth. I also recieved recipets for EVERYTHING. if he bought a 14c paintbrush it was tagged and filled. I am confident that this partial built will check out. None the less, it will be checked out. These technical checks, are these done through the FAA or through the EAA. (ever wonder if they are going to run out of three letter acronyms in aviation?) i think as the plane sits it is about chapter 7. that might be minus the bottom floor. i also recieved the fake firewall and jig for holding the fuselage. sorry for the spelling mistakes, i am sitting in those extremely comfortable airport seats:mad:
  2. Was looking for a rotary engine to start rebuilding, while i find a place to live big enough to be able to build my cozy. Figured i would start with the motor since i did not have the space. Anyway, was checking out craigslist, and came across a mazda 13b for sale, with the cozy fueslage. it has the sides on, the instrument panel, seatback and so on. it is ready for the bottom and be glassed. My question is, where do i start? the foam sides have been contured, but the foam is damaged in spots (scraps from moving). it has not been touched in 10 years. what do i do about registration. the registration page is already filled out, and i have no bill of sale. i purchased it not from the builder, but another guy who thought he was going to build it. i have read and reread the plans, am anxious to get underway. what things should i check to make sure that it was put together correctly? everything, certain things....? The rotary was pretty much a gonner, had some of the water jacket and o ring surface give out....but i got the plans and before mentioned partial plans for 400 bones.
  3. I am currently putting together some files for my rotary. So far i have the EGR block off plate, intake manifold flange and exhaust flange. I am working on the throttle body plate and injector mounts. I have no full motor, and probably will not get that far, but as far as bolt up parts...here is a sample. I will figure out how to host files later...or PM with a free file hosting site. here is a sample. . This one I still need to verify on the motor. PM me and i can get you most any file format. .dxf dwg...so on DP
