Cozy, spar jig taking up valuable space in Colorado
f16falcon6 replied to rickh's topic in For Sale (or for Free)
What I might do then is see if maybe I can use it after he is done with it. I am quite a ways away from building my spar anyways...but I thought maybe I could skip ahead and do it now. But if he has it I can wait for awhile until he is done with it. Craig -

Do you still have the jig....if so I will take it off of your hands. Craig -
Ok the next question I have is this. So I compared the doubler that is currently installed to the dimensions stated in the plans and the doubler was cut to the proper size. If I were to carefully remove the doubler by cutting it away from the longeron and the fuselage side, would I be able to reattach it the proper location without any structural consequences? Also If I were to leave the Doubler in place and add an additional piece of spruce to increase its length, would the extra length of the doubler interfere with any other areas of the build being that the doubler is now approximately 1" closer to the instrument panel? Thanks Craig
-
Ok the front of the Doubler is located at 6.75, sorry about being so vague. As far as you saying just flox another piece in, should I do a scarf joint or just butt the other piece up to it and then flox it into place?

can I use poplar instead of spruce

Here are some pics to explain my predicament.

Ok so I purchased a partially built cozy. I am working on chapter six and am at the point where I need to install F-28 to the upper longerons. The problem I have is that the previous builder cut the small block attached to the upper longeron to short by an inch or so. So the F-28 will not fit in the proper location without lengthening it. I am wonder if I should cut out the block completely and install a new one or should I do some kind of splice joint and try to lengthen it. I hope my written description helps, if not I am about to go down and take some pictures to help people visualize my predicament. Craig

Please feel free to come by, we are about 30 minutes from there. Craig

Ok I see now, I was looking at the wrong updates. The ones I was looking at were for version 1 and 2.
-
Yes I have edition #3. My plans # is 1435.
-
Ok so I am going through the plans and making corrections and I have come to a correction that confuses me. In newsletter 35 it states to "# Chap. 7, p. 5 Step 5: Delete para. 4 starting with "Now..."." My question is why is this removed? from reading the paragraph it seems important. Is this done at another time? Or is this not necessary anymore? Thanks, Craig
-
PS...What is your plans serial #? My plans serial # is 1435

Just wanted everyone to know that I purchase a Cozy project last night. It is quite early in the build with only chapter 6 partially complete. I do however have the materials and epoxy to complete it through chapter 7. Thanks for everyones help in regards to the inspection of the project. I was able to find a local builder that was very knowledgeable and helped me inspect the "canoe" very carefully. Well enough typing I think it is time to get to work....and make sure these plans are fully up to date. Craig

Is having it cut out this way going to diminish any structural integrity of the IP? Also will it cause any future problems with the build in later chapters? I'm fine with the idea that I can simply replace the foam that was removed and re-fiberglass the IP to make it conform to the plans. In the end I just don't want more headaches then necessary. I think I will call the seller today and ask him why he made the cuts the way he did. If anyone else has any more comments on this I would appreciate them. Also is $1500 a decent price for a project this far in the build? I added up the cost of materials including epoxy and it seems to be a good deal. Craig
-
I think it's a pretty good deal, the guy is asking 1500, and includes everything to finish through chapter 7. I was just Kind of looking at where the leg cutouts are on the IP and it appears that one side was cut out more than the other. Maybe it is the way it is supposed to be I just wanted to make sure. Craig
-
So I was about to order my plans when I came across this project for sale. As I was looking at the photo's the seller sent me I noticed that it appears he has changed the IP from the plans design. Can anyone tell me by looking at the photo if this is going to be a problem? It appears that in earlier photos during his build that he had the correct cutouts but now in the current state the IP looks different. Thanks Craig
-
Sounds like an even better idea.
-
Ok thanks I think I will do just that. Probably will be cheaper in the long run, while still giving me the practice to do the layups correctly, Craig
-
Thanks Rick, So I guess I am going to need to purchase a practice layup kit. I was hoping save myself the extra 80 and apply that towards my chapter kits. Glad to hear that there are more builders in the area! Thanks, Craig
-
Ok so I am about to order a set of plans to build a Cozy. I have been reading about the chapter 3 practice layups, and was wondering if I need to buy a practice layup kit, or will the chapter 4 kit have enough materials to do the practice layups and build the bulkheads? I did see a previous post about this which mentioned purchasing more bid and Uni, but nothing was said about if there was enough foam to do both chapter 3 and 4. Thanks...I am so excited to start building. I was at Rick Maddy's home the other day and bought some of his left over tools and epoxy pump as well as his 12' X 4' table....Really can't wait to get started. Craig

I know this isn't a canard, but I have a set of unused Culp Special Biplane plans for sale. The plans are brand new and have never been used. I am selling them so that I can use the money to buy a set of Cozy plans. I Purchased them several years ago and changed my mind on what I want to build and fly. I am asking $150. Craig
