I keep hearing rumors about a potential avgas shortage in the next 5 years. Can the the cozy airframe handle mogas and then the next question would involve what type of engine to use. I want to do the standard Lycoming 360 but, what if I can't get gas for it?

I've ordered my MK IV plans and they should arrive by the end of the week. Here's my plan: Get it started in my 1900 square foot basement and move to a hangar before I build the strakes and attach the spar. My dilemna is this: There is not a paint shop that I know of on the field and I am not permitted to paint in the hangar. So, when I eventually need a paint job, how do I get it to the paint shop?

Thanks,

I've been a Rutan fan since the early days as a 7 year old at Oshkosh in the 70's. I've always wanted to build a long eze but, for slightly more money and a little more horsepower, I decided to take advantage of the extra room that a Cozy offers. As for the learjet, It's a blast to fly but, I never get to borrow it for the weekend.

Jesse,

I just ordered MK IV plans this week and hope to begin building this summer. I'm fly out of LZU so stay in touch.

BTW the Cozy is the way to go.
