here are a few more pics with Marlon Gunderson's MK III

I haven't been on this page much so I thought I would add some of my 6 summer build of my Cozy MKIV I now have 6.2 hrs of flight time and hope to fly off the Phase one testing this spring.

Nice job, looks great.

I have a brand new set of cleveland wheels, brakes, master cylinders, and axels for a cozy MKIV they are part number 199-152 and are over 2400.00 and I would like to sell these for 1800.00 or trade for a garmin or Icom nav/com radio of similar value. Please let me know if you are interested and you can email me at leslaidlaw@hotmail.com

Looks great, you want to com to MN and rig mine????????

I do not have any pics now. I will post some soon. If you look up Bulent Aleive (SP) he did it first and I like the look but it is wider at the seat back. If you haven't made the turtleback and want to go this way it would be easier than what I did, cutting the finished turtle back down the middle and adding a wedge. I just finished glassing my elevators and I will finish with the install of the aluminum attach points tomorrow. I also just glassed the outside of my winglets and got the foam brackets glassed on the inside for the installation of the canopy. I will hopefully finish the upper winglets tomorrow and get the turtle back finished as well.

I just had to redo my turtle back, I am putting a lancair canopy instead of the standard similar to what Buly did with his, it is six inches wider at the seat back and tapers to the standard firewall. I like the look and it also gives a lot more headroom without adding height. I cut my wings over the winter and am planning on starting to assemble them soon. I hope to have my fiberglassing done by the end of summer as I teach and it gets really cold here in the winter. I also have my cowls and molds for them, if you want to make a pull off of them you are welcome. Are you going to oshkosh this year? I am about 6 hours drive west and you can make your cowls.

Nice work. I have been jumping around chapters with mine and you are doing it right. Looks great.

I wasn't aware of this. I guess I will put it in front of the pedals. Thanks for the advise.

I am going to put nav in the wing and com in the winglet and also just the canard for two antennae. I checked out what RST had on their diagram for the cozy I think I will have too many antennae but better than not enough. I was thinking about putting the transponder antennae in the wing tip and using the lower and upper winglet fro the antennae and the group plane lengthwise. Does the ground plane for the xponder need to be a circle or is that just to make it the right size?

and some more

Here are some more

Here are a few pics I will keep uploading pics as well, I am trying to remember the order so there might be some out of place

I have as Facebook page with the Pics. Cozy Build log is the name for the page. I do not have any pics of the canard or the wings but when it warms up I will get them taken. I was cutting out the wings at the university after teaching using the community templates that Charles put together and are circulating through the builders. They work great and gave me the confidence to start cutting. I made my own wood templates but decided to go this route because of the importance of the main wing. I am glad I did it this way because of the template that might not be exact after putting the piece to the plans together. I was able to photocopy the canard template and it came out great but it also fit on one page and matched exactly to the M-Drawings.
