  1. I was looking on ACS, and I need some help looking to buy kits/ parts for the Cozy Mark IV. Do the chapter kits include all materials needed to build the chapter, or do you have to supplement the chapters with the material kits? If I add all the chapter $'s, it is around $13,000. The material kits add up to around $12,000. with both of these numbers, at around $25,000, that sounds about like the cost of building without engine and avionics me thinks..... Does that sound right? If this is the case, Does anyone know which materials kit to purchase with the first few chapters? I would like to know so I can start budgeting $'s to purchase the chapter/materials kits I need to start building. I know I will have to pay as I go. Thanks for listening to me talk my way through the first purchase. I appreciate all the help and straight forward talk I have gotten to help chose which plane to build. Brock
  2. Thanks for the weblink for the table Jon. I think I may be building 3-4 tables also. That looks like a great idea. Anyone want to help with a garage sale????????
  3. I looked on Cosy Girrrls website and it had a few tools to get, are there any others that you might need????? Hope to buy the plans this summer. What can I do to get my garage in order? It is only 18 X 22 feet, so space will be precious. I've also heard both sides of building a box for BID. I am leaning towards building a box, but what I am reading is saying to build a bigger table to cut on. Does that sound right???????
  4. Thanks for the info Steve. Your site along with many others has helped not only my motivation, but helped my wife see that it is a project that can be done(not only in my garage, but in a tent with holes in the side if need be.) That was really cool to find. I would really like to build a Cozy. I had just found the Aerocanard site, and I didn't know the difference between the two. I thought that the Aerocanard was a kit-built Cozy. I am guessing I am wrong with that. My wife is finishing her nursing degree right now(finishing next May), and I think the timeframe for starting the building process is about one year. Looking back, do you have anything that you wish you had known before you got started? Anything you would suggest to study or start buying to prepare for the build. I know the plans are #1 on the list, but what about after that?????
  5. I would really enjoy the building process. I would like to see some foam and epoxy grow into a beautiful airplane that I could say I built. My concern is the amount of builder's sites I see that have projects that are not finished or sold. I am not someone who quits projects. I also do believe that you get out of what you put into any project, and I am sure that many of these people were the same when they started. What if I fit under all the above classifications for wanting a Cozy????
  6. I have been researching building a canard airplane for a few months now. Canards have really gotten my attention and I would really enjoy the process of building an airplane. During my research I have found out that many aspiring people set out to build a Cozy and make it to about Chap 9 or 10 and start to sputter out. So with this I have a few questions.... 1. What is the difference between a Cozy and an Areocanard? I have noticed that many people build a Cozy with Areocanard modifications. Is one better than the other? If so why? 2. Do you think a builder would have a better chance finishing an airplane with Areocanard since it is built from pre-built parts? 3. I would enjoy seeing a Cozy. If anyone in the central Kansas area has one, I would love to bring my wife out to see it sometime. She has bought into the process, but I would love to do anything I could to prevent AIDS... Thanks for listening.
  7. First and foremost, I am a father of 2 wonderful boys aged 3 and 6. Second I am husband to the most foregiving and awesome woman in the world. Third I over see the operations of six Pizza Huts in central Kansas and Oklahoma. Fourth, I am still working on, I would like to become a builder of a Cozy airplane.
  8. I'm looking to start building in a couple of years. I thought it would be good to get a head start on learning the building process and research the airplane to ensure it fits my wants and needs.
