Welcome to my Web site! Thanks Rick for hosting, COOLBuilding of my Cozy Mark IV #1037. Over the next several / many years I will build before your eyes a masterpiece, and if that is not possible just a good fun safe aircraft. :-) And some other stuff I hope you find fun or useful.... Status: Plans Purchased: 04-2002 Built workshop that year. Started Project 01-2003 Working Status: Currently working Chap-15 & 18, 24. Just started Chap-20 9-1-2010 I've purchased the foam cores with the wing cores. Mounted Main Spar, she's now on three wheels with canopy. Taking up one car bay in my garage. Chap-16, 17 & 24. It's now impossible to lay on its side. As the build goes forward I will revisit these chapters as required. Chap-19 complete mated wings to main spar complete, next will be the rudders Chap-20 . Built Chap 16 up to step 6 need to build the wings. Chap-17 Building with standard Roll Trim changing Pitch Trim to Alex Strong system. Chap-14 complete waiting on wing build before install into fuselage. Total hours worked so far. 1455 hours up to chap-19 some of 24 Counting build time only. Problem with your hands / skin when it comes in contact with the epoxy. Will it started with me, at first I had no problems. I was wearing the latex gloves and everything (I thought) was fine. Until one night my hands began to itch and then came the blister. You guest it I've developed a histamine reaction to the epoxy, what to do?? First I checked the can of epoxy and found that white vinegar stop the chemical reaction, second I switched to Nitrile gloves, double gloved too. To protect my arms I put ply-9 gel on, you can get this from Wicks. So the process is like this: Gel, Glove X 2 when finished wash off the Gel and then put on white vinegar I wet a paper towel, that solved it for me. I hope this helps other builders. Engine?? I had hoped that Innodyn would make it but it sounds like that may not happen, I'm still hopeful... as you can tell. Looks like Aero Sport will be the engine for me, I like the IO-375B1B 205HP Constant Speed, I will use a MT 3 blade propeller. Yes, I know it's big bucks but 90% of the aircraft is about the power train. We will see when I get there.... Questions or Comments about my Cozy project - E-mail: David & Lynne Barnes Projected finish Date: 2011 I HOPE!!
