Thanks Lynn. This is what I'll do.

It's sort of free that I don't have to dish out cash for it but I have to burn some midnight oil doing some programming for guy that just happen to have one laying around for a project he was going to do. It's been laying around in his warehouse for at least 6 mos now.

Hi Folks, I'm still pretty far (years) on my build (on other "honey do this" projects right now) but I maybe able to get a new IO-360 lycoming engine at a substantial discount (almost free). Can I store it say for 4 years without firing it? Other than physical damage, what kind of bad things could happen to it? TIA, Robert

I have a some questions regarding Lycoming models used in pusher type aircraft in general: Does Cozy (or pusher type aircraft) generally require left turning engines? What is most commonly used? In the IO-360s, Lycoming offers vertical or horizontal induction; which one is best suited for Cozys? Would the horizontal induction produce more tapered bottom cowling compared to vertical induction that sticks down? TIA, Robert

Contact the Canard Finder David Orr (aka "Beagle") at canardfinder@att.net. His web site is http://www.canardfinder.com He has the master list of canards available for sale and he could probably arrange a ride for you also.

Hi Waiter, I used this product for taking scratches out of my acrylic fish tank: (Rainbow Lifegard Acrylic Scratch Removal Kit 72000) http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_viewitem.aspx?idproduct=RB1551&child=RB1551&utm_source=mdcsegooglebase2&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=mdcsegooglebase2&utm_content=RB1551 You should be able to restore your strake windows close to its original condition.

I'm planning to add this mod to my build and I'm interested to know if there are any flying Cozy IVs' out there with this mod and share their flight experience with them. TIA.

Hello, I know that Wicks has a list of materials by chapter for the Long EZ but their info is not very descriptive. Is there a similar list for A&S or is Wicks the main source for most of the materials for Long EZ? I know I can purchase most foams and glass from A&S and H/W from CG Products but not sure about the rest of the parts. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations!!! Do you have a breakdown on which page got the most hits? I'm thinking it's probably your lovac writeup or the strakes...

I did the mist thing last night. Didn't work! So, I'm just gonna return it and order from Wicks since all of Spruce's stock came in wet. Thanks everyone for your responses.

I would say looking at it diagonally, it's twisted about an inch end to end.

Hi folks, I purchased my birch 2'x4' plywood from Spruce today and it came a little warped. They said it came in wet and they were all pretty much like that. I was thinking of misting some water on it and weight it down to straighten it out. Or, return it to spruce and get it from wicks or should I even worry about it. TIA

Does anyone know if the AeroCanard main gear strut is identical to the Cozy IV strut? TIA

Drew, That's awesome! You're a regular Wood Whisperer! (or more like Foam Whisperer)

I also got a life insurance and had to disclose that I was a pilot, it's pretty steep in terms of costs. I got additional from AOPA then I read the terms and it didn't cover you if you died while piloting or in a non-certificated aircraft from the USA. I'm not sure if those were the exact wordings but it's pretty close. I'll dig it up and post it here later. Since FAA issues the airworthiness certificate, I'm wondering if were covered flying experimentals.
