However, if the applicant's aircraft is under repair, in shipment, or under construction at that time, then the Director can grant a conditional waiver to allow the processing of a permit with the requirement that the applicant must have the aircraft certificated and airworthy within six (6) months of the effective date."

Complete Sarcasm,  But if you can give it 12.5 Hours per Day (on Average) you can get it all built in 6 Months.  (Assuming 2300 Hours)

That canard looks pretty BUT it suggests that you can paint a canard any way somebody wants to paint it.    That is OK with aluminum but fiberglass aircraft have to be painted WHITE or the energy of sunlight may create a structural problem.    Put the colored paint on the underside.

Most Definitely.  Isn't there "paints" that we could use that actually reflect other than white aircraft?

Just thinking... What IF you were to "water cool" the wings of the plane (Just throwing it out there)?   It would be Hillarious to see a VantaBlack Carbon Fiber Plane

Just got this email from the EAA.  That's one nice Canard...

We're still in the "Pre-build" stage of a Cozy, But will be Flying in for the Fun.  Either a C172 or PA-28 (Depends on if 172 panel upgrade is done).  We'll be GAC, though will be scoping out every canard we see.  Esp for the "I learned..."  Is there anyone which could give an intro flight to solidify my decision in Canards.  

For those that've flown in Before, is there anything you "wished you had"  or "Didn't use, though you brought it"?  Trying to think thru Everything on this upcoming week!!!

I'm Looking to order plans and get started Shortly on an (expected) Cozy Mk4.  Where I'm at currently, I have no garage to work in, and will be starting "from Scratch".  

I've already got on the waiting list for a Hanger at the airport, and am looking at a "Shop Space" where I could build... But moving is also an option.  What's the size of door opening I'll need to get the plane in and out to include the Stakes stage.  

All this in mind, I'd also do the wings, but not have them attached until its moved to the airport (Expected 1 Year wait list..)

Could I get the build to the point of transport to airport with everything else done, or am I missing something?

Thank-you
