I will get some photos posted. The workmanship is good, as I have been using the low-vac system that the Cozygirls layout on their web site. In fact, a few photos on their site showing some mods inspired me to do the same. Although several of the mods have not been started, the major one that affected the tub is the landing gear. The reinforcements were still put in, but the bottom exterior was skinned over in preperation to install the infinity retractable gear out on the wing spars.

- The Wing half’s are already skinned with the ailerons ready to be cut and the rudder conduits installed. The "skins" of fiberglass are installed. This, in the plans refers to Section 1, Chapter 19, up to step 9. Left to do to complete this chapter is to cut the ailerons, add the controls, and attach the wing to the center section spar. - The fuselage is completed up to step 7 of Chapter 8. This means that it is framed, with all the fiberglass work done on the inside and outside with some of the outside hardware and the required hardware on the inside already installed. Left to do is to glass the heat ducts and Chapter 8 where one installs the headrest. (I was going to add car headrests at a later time). - The canard is completed thru Chapter 10. This means it is fully skinned and ready to take on the elevator which is built in chapter 11. I have the foam cores and the fiberglass and some of the hardware for the elevator. - I also have foam and fiberglass to complete the fuselage and some other hardware (hinges, seat belts, attachment hardware, etc.) - I did not want to sell this project, but due to some unforseen family finances, it has become neccessary. The project is at a good stage for someone to get a gigantic head start without violating the FAA 51% rule. The workbench and some other tools, along with plans and alot of building video are included. I was planning on using a rotary 13-B engine, and was rebuilding one. You can have this with the project if you can use it. - The project is located in Simi Valley, California. Seeing as most of us are selling these projects at cost, I am asking 11,000.00 for the project which includes the engine parts, some tools, work bench, tub, fiberglass materials, and wings with canard.

Photos please?

Thanks everyone. I did receive what I was looking for and am back at it. Sorry for the couple month gap. Needless to say, I am keeping my paper work off the floor, which should keep my plans from taking any future baths.

Thanks guys for all the information. Of course, my post was not to stir up a bunch of discussion, but thanks for the education.

Thanks for the information. It was just the thought that being registered with them made my project more 'official' if that makes any since. I approached, AS before my water problems and they were not very helpful. As the Name Registration page was filled out with the #370 and Nathan’s signature, but the builder’s section was blank, I just signed it. Sure! I could use your 2nd copy. If you want me to show you my water logged plans and project to substantiate that I am an actual owner/builder of a Mark IV, let me know. Thanks, (I am a He) Jerry Simi Valley, CA

But yet another example of the diversity and uniqueness of us all. How such a vision of lofty bliss would bring together people from all walks of life. I started out Commercial Fishing in Alaska for 22 years with off-season hobbies such as carpentry. Imagine crawling into a tin can with diesel fuel and then having it shaken-for days. Needless to say, I came to the conclusion that fishing for a living was a young man's sport and I needed to move on, or in my case-get out of the boat and kiss the ground. As a Project Engineer in recent years, my family and I make our home in Southern California. The hours are long, but I try to practice the advise of many of you and that is to do a little on my cozy project every day-even if it is only 15 minutes. Then, when I have a Saturday or a long evening all to myself, I cannot wait to get at it! Yahoo!

I purchased tub from other builder and Spruce will not recongnize my plans #370 or allow me to register with them unless I purchase the plans again, from them. When I tell them that others have bought kits and re-registared with them, they say that is not true, because it is against their policy. So.., unless I want to shell out big bucks for nothing, I am asking if there are any lonely plans sitting out there, I could use them.

Plans #370 Cozy Mk IV currently on Chapter 8, but lost Plans Section II book and some M plans in recent house flood (our pipes sprang a leak at night). I had the plans on a lower shelf that got wet. Does anyone have the section II book that they can spare? I have the wings and canard complete, but the book I am missing now, covers the strake and canopy sections I have to complete. I would appriciate any suggestions as to how to aquire what I have lost, without having to purchase another set.
