Larry Wimble's "Cozy Mark IV" Site

Greetings Friends & Canardians...

This website is here to chronicle my experience in building an Experimental Aircraft known as the Cozy MKIV. Given that the primary purpose of a builder's log is to show the FAA that you actually built the plane, I will not be keeping an "offical" version. This website will serve as my Builder's Log.

Since everyone else puts this statement on their website, I guess I will as well: This page is not endorsed, nor I am I in any way affiliated with Nat Puffer, Co-Z Development Corp., or Aircraft Spruce and Specialty Co.

I will share my personal experiences as well as mistakes on this web site. It is my hope that this page will be a resource for others either building or considering building this fantastic aircraft.
