Hello, I have been haunting barnstormers, controller, and aerotrader recently, (not to mention eBay and craigslist), and found myself looking at Long EZs and Cozys. I've been reading the "Sales I've seen" posts and noted the comments on buying a partially completed kit being less expensive these days than starting from scratch. I figured I should join your wonderful website and learn all I can before I commit to a course of action. It is very tempting to just by a set of plans from Aircraft Spruce and just start building but perhaps I will wait it out and see what comes up on the market. The 2500 hr build time for Cozy's is daunting but I just love the look of the aircraft and the thought of flying with the engine behind the cabin. A partially completed kit, well-documented and vouched for, would be most welcome to decrease the build time. Has anyone else gone this route? If so, what measures did you take to ensure the previous work was well done? Best, Duane
