Very cool Erick. I like the Cozy. I seriously considered it (and some of the other canards) because it was an affordable 4 place with good builder support. But, honestly the mission profile that I decided upon included light aerobatics and short field capability. But you can't beat the Cozy for cross country and speed. Sadly, if I pursue aviation as a career, I may have to give up the RV - I could pay for a complete flight training academy for what I have left to spend on it (fuselage, engine and avionics). I'd probably store it in my brother's hangar until I could afford to come back to it - I'll never have the heart to sell it. In fact, I need to pound some rivets this weekend (not that you'd know anything about that!)
