Cozy Mark IV

The Cozy Mark IV is a 4-person single-engine canard airplane.  The plans are sold by Co-Z Development Corp. This site will provide information about my project status, hours spent, costs, and any other relevant information.

I should point out, I have no particular experience in aircraft design or construction.   I'm just a pilot who wants a great airplane to fly at a reasonable cost.  The Cozy plans are written for builders like me.  Here's a page on why I'm doing this.

Current Status (4/4/08): Chapter 19, Wings and Ailerons; Step 9: Wing ribs (both wings)

The Titles are links to pictures and commentary for that chapter.  The links under both Cost and Hours goes to my builder's log, which gives details about daily activities and costs.
