I have one of those - me, not the aircraft. Brenda and I met Nat and Shirley at OSH 87 and walking away one evening Nat asked why we had come to OSH? "To meet you and buy the plans" (for the mk III) s

I know some others have been built, and maybe flying... Stuart Smith built his 4" larger all the long. I know he is flying now. Maybe still at the test phase. His brother's is also 4" larger. It is fi

Remember the King Cozy? I found a photo of it last night and wondered what happened to it. It was a huge fuselage but I believe he had the right idea like I bet a lot of us ponder. Why on earth do we

Folks: I've finally installed the second Dynon HDX screen in my instrument panel, so the Narco NAV-122 has come out and is for sale. This is a fully self-contained VOR/LOC/ILS/CDI unit that fits into

Hello, sorry if this has previously covered and I missed it in my searches, but I am getting ready to rig my Long-EZ rudders and I have a question about the proper 1/16” cable to use. I see references

Greetings all, I'm doing another iteration on my cowl modifications and last time I glassed over aluminum tape over carved pour foam (with pluses and minuses). Afterward, I removed all the foam and ta

I had the opposite problem, my slip joints on the exhaust were loose with one of the joints showing exhaust stains. I used a Harbor Freight tail pipe expander which helped. Medium Tail Pipe Expander (

Yes, making cowlings is a lot of work, and can be satisfying to your inner sculptor. But if you haven’t got much of an inner sculptor, it can be frustrating. I got sick of all that, particularly if yo

Thanks for the replies for lighting post. Does anyone know if the units that have all of the Nav and strobe lights combination have a separate on off function for nav versus strobe or are they energiz

Hello everyone, I have been asked to help Al Wick sell his Cozy Mark IV. Al has moved on to different things in life and no longer is flying. I have created a web page with pictures and info. This was

I have my throttle and mixture cables anchored to (through) the firewall. I was asked by Russ Meyerriecks if this creates a problem when the engine moves in the Lord mounts (the throttle and mixture s
