Cozy Mark IV

[ki4lzk]

Has anyone build the Cozy MarkIV? I am looking into building one and want to know others opinion on the aircraft.

I flew in one recently for a flight review with a guy who built his. It's not a bad plane, but I certainly was wishing for a bigger hole for my legs!

I had posted it but the censors stopped the post for some reason.....

Thanks for the reply and the pictures... Yeah i don't think this will work for me. I am 6'4 and way more than you so I think it would be like trying to sit in a subcompact car. Oh well, I guess I will keep looking.

After seeing the lack of legroom, it looks more like a Coffin Mark IV to me.

Nit picking- those gauges are not level. I'm all for homebuilts but if the panel looks like that, I'd be concerned to see what the structure inside the wing where it's hidden from view looks like...... Sorry, Off Topic.

Little leg holes.

RV 10 has LOTS of leg and headroom front and back. A lot more useful load and will use less than half the runway than a canard. Plus it is a great kit and can be built in a reasonable amount of time. Don

guess they call it a Cozy for a reason.

Not to mention the crappy workmanship on the right side of the panel, the various wires hanging on and around the yoke, and the WalMart nature of the gauges themselves. I know, everyone's a critic, but still......

The gauges look to be mitchell, from AS&S

thats not the yoke, its a ram mount, probably for a handheld gps, hence the wires

I also noticed there isn't any vibration isolation of the pannel
