There should have been a link during the checkout process to download the plans. Another user recently had a similar issue. You'll need to reach out to Jon Matcho (the proprietor) to get another link

Quickie fuselage for $6k:

From the Canard Aviators email group: Mod edit: posted by Tom Brown tbrown1987 AT yahoo.com@groups.io

No photos on this one: Moderator edit: Listed two years ago at $37,500. Could not find a "Don" or Donald Black in the registry.

This one popped up today. Also some discussion about its engine on Facebook:

That's a great find. Did you end up slitting it at all, then? Or were you able to pull it through without slitting it?

I think that's the same EZ as the $37,500 one listed on Barnstormers. Is it me, or is that priced a bit high, given the smaller engine and dated panel?

There are some 2d drawings available over at cozybuilders: http://www.cozybuilders.org/cad_files/

Some more postings from the last day or so:

A quickie, with no pics:

A project and a finished plane showed up on Barnstormers:

A Cozy Mk IV for $119k: https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=CO-Z+DEVELOPMENT+CORP&model=COZY+MARK+IV&listing_id=2404253&s-type=aircraft More pics at the listing 150-175kt TAS with 6.5-8.5 GPH; 52 gal usable fuel make this machine extremely capable with an effective range of 1200nm. A Garmin G3X 10.5 inch screen as a PFD and a GFC 500 digital autopilot, coupled to a GTN 625 for navigation and MFD create this state of the art cockpit that not only is FULL IFR but also allows for safe VFR flights with live traffic and weather alerts. A newly installed Surefly Electronic Ignition Module provides a clean reliable spark on every stroke of the engine, making starts easy in any condition and a smooth and efficient cruise performance.

I don't have any direct answers, but there are canard owners groups on Facebook that may also get you come feedback, and there's also the canard owners and builders association, although that one isn't free ($25/year to join, or more)

Link to the ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144491279740 Asking price is $26k

The $53k Long-EZ was also posted on Facebook: It is also listed, with more photos, here: https://www.kevineldredge.com/for-sale/long-ez-for-sale-53500

An unusual bird...

I went through all the templates, and rescaled to get the marks as precise as possible. I've attached those files. However, it appears that the inaccuracies aren't just in scaling. For example, A-1 and A2 contain the template for the instrument panel, but where the two sheets join, the outlines of the panel don't match. I measured the drawings both as printed and in the images, and there's some keystoning--on A-1, the instrument panel is 22.26" wide at the bottom and 22.33" wide at the top, and on A-2, where the panel joins the template from A-1, it is 22.26" again.

Now also listed on Barnstormers:

Assuming the previous work was done well, how feasable is it for a first-time builder to pick up and finish a project plane? I've heard that building the fuselage is a good first step, because you learn how to glass nice, easy, flat things (bulkheads, seat backs) before you progress to the more advanced, critical stuff like the center section spar, wings, canard, etc. Saving 1000 hours of construction time sounds appealing, but if that lack of practice results in poor quality on the wings, it seems counterproductive. Or is the process forgiving enough that, assuming you've done the practice layups and studied the plans thoroughly and pay attention, it won't be a big deal?

No photos attached.
