 Cozy Mk IV Project For Sale - Near Portland, OR
SOLD!!
$8,000 for 3-bladed pusher composite CS prop, 68" diameter, Continental hub

NOTE: The Cozy has been sold.  I'm keeping the page up for reference.  The CS prop is still available though. 

I am assisting with the sale of Al Wick's Cozy Mark IV.  Al has moved on to a different path in life and no longer is flying.  The aircraft was mostly built to plans specs with the following exceptions:
  • Electric Nose gear
  • Homemade engine monitoring system
  • Subaru EZ30 engine with redrive and constant speed prop (engine and prop have since been removed)
  • Fuel sump tank with internal gas pumps (still fed by plans fuel system with tank switch valve between the seats)
  • Internal rudder bellhorns
There may be others but this is what I am currently aware of.  The plane was a flying plane with around 300 hours on the airframe.  It was grounded for the engine conversion (changed from a 2.5L to the 3.0L engine).  The plane did some ground runs but never flew with the new configuration.  Prop still has zero flying ours (only ground runs).  I have removed the engine to return to the donor.  The battery has unfortunately died over time.  Al was a failure analysis engineer in life, so the plane is outfitted with many sensors in order to catch problems before they were a real problem.  There is a computer onboard that runs homemade EFIS panel that was designed to monitor the plane.  For a prospective buyer, I would advise the use of a new EFIS as models have come a long way since Al designed this and they will do most of the same monitoring but with the added benefit of support in a more robust package. 

The plane is being sold as a project in As Is condition.  There is no longer an engine installed but the plane does have cowlings which still match the original cowlings.  Engine mount points are to plans as well.  Registration has expired and the N-number is no longer valid.  There was a fuel tank leak on both sides.  I believe the pilot side has been fixed but needs to be checked.  Passenger side may still have a problem.  A fuel tank pressure test would be heavily advised.  The strakes will need some profiling and painting from previous repairs and from lost filler.  A full inspection by a reputable canard member is also advised which I can give out the names to people that are able to do so.  While there is some work invovled, the plane could have the new owner up and running in much shorter time than building would allow.  I thought about it myself, but it didn't seem right to throw out all the hard work that I have already done on my project.
