The plans are at home...unfortunatly I am not....Im working in Kazkakhstan at the moment, so Im using the time to get online and get as much information as possible so I can get stuck into the work when I get home in 2 weeks!

So I have a few weeks before my EAA composite course, I think it would be better for me to wait until the class before getting elbow deep in epoxy, so I am going to use the time to prepare my workspace. What should I be preparing? I assume a worktable? Should I build a full worktable? Or would a...

I do a scan with Panda every month or so, have done so for years, good program! Right now I am using Avira, seems to be working ok so far and doesnt slow things down too much

We had a rescue dog for a while called Kevin Bacon for absolutly no reason at all:D

Its a great looking airplane, but I didnt really want to build from a kit. I did think about the Velocity XL...and if I ever want a twin then I will look at the V-Twin...beautiful aircraft:yes:

I used to have a belgian shepherd, best dog I ever had until some ****er poisoned him:mad:

This is a really interesting subject. Me personally...I graduated high school early at age 16, but had no desire to go to College. So I became an Apprentice Electrical Engineer. Following my 4-year apprenticeship I joined the oil industry. After a few years I was being given bigger and bigger...

I have found 2 "flying" cozy owners down here in Houston so I have already arranged to bum a ride once I get home to Houston (Working overseas right now). Ok...its not summertime hot....but still will be fun:D

Anybody have any experience of renting a hanger with an apartment or living space? I have seen lots for sale, but almost none for rent here in Tx. I only want one for a couple of years, so would like to not go through the buying and selling process unless I really need to. Any advice or...

I did look long and hard at the RV line up, especially the RV10 which seems to be really the industry leader in terms of being an all-rounder. BUT I spent a lot of time researching before making my decision, and I really did just fall in love with the Cozy. I plan on taking as many...

Well i have spent the last few days researching like a mad man. Lycoming power plant is what im going to stick with. No reason for me to take on the additional complexity of an non-standard engine.

Good point...I will keep that in mind, thank you:yes:

Any reason for the Taxi test to be the particular milestone for avionics purchase?

Keep the good advice coming guys! Seems like for a first time builder maybe Lycoming is the way to go. I spent a few hours researching yesterday and it does seem that most people who go with non-traditional powerplants have issues at first. As for Avionics, I really like the Dynon Skyview...

Lots of great advice already! When I said I wasnt going to go crazy on the panel...I didnt mean I was also going to cut corners. I fully expect to spend in the region of $15-20k on a decent panel. I have the mindset of "do it right the first time". I would hate to get it finished then want to...

Im in Kazakhstan right now....7degF :sad: Wish I was back home in Texas

Does said experienced pilot stand to gain from any of your life insurance policy payouts?:lol:

Im looking in all the usual places right at this very minute:yes: Barnstormers etc. I also came across someone in my local EAA chapter who ran out of steam on his Cozy project 5 years ago, will be giving him a call to see if he would be interested in letting it go.

The epoxy sensitivity is something that I have read about in my research and does concern me a little. I plan to go overkill on the PPE to keep things safe:yes: I never thought of the HAZMAT aspect...I will give them a call to find out. I imagine I can get such materials locally here in...

I certainly dont think Im going to be a savant at aircraft building:D I know that there is basically a zero chance of getting to OSH '15. BUT if I set that as my goal it encourages me to get off my ass every day and put in a days hard graft. Setting a goal of say... OSH '17 wont give me the...
