great air plane but 39hrs a week for 3 years, plus making a living? really?

you can get a "ups" to mitigate that

Please can get your contact number please😢😢😢😢

Please can I have your contact number🙏🙏

Please can I get your contact

Nice on Russ! 😂 🚀

Ive been wanting to build my own home built

Is there a gas station

CONGRATS... Built one Vans RV4 and RV7. I would not do one of these as it takes x3 as long to build but I still respect it. Nice work. Fly Safe...

Get Igen G5 or G6 oxygen concentrator like Martin Pauley uses. It will meet the needs of 2 people. We tend to keep our mouth shut which reduces available air. Opening your mouth doesn't replace a concentrator. Using one will leave you less fatigued.

Load it up with your wife and other luggage.

Great video! And awesome Oshkosh 2020 shirt. We don't have that particular one but a lot of other 2020 gear.

Bro if you don't mind can you go to a trip ✈️... With long video no cut no nothing😢

Epic work mate!! How much did the whole thing cost in the end?

Curious ? Seats how many ? HOw is noise in cockpit ? Can you put heat in it? Can you put De-icing on it? How much luggage ? General Cost of all material for build ?

Incredible video and workmanship.

I've always loved these airplanes. @4:03, why is it backwards? Also efficiency. A traditional stabilizer in the rear generates downforce, which the main wing must compensate with more lift. That means more AoA and induced drag. With the stabilizer in the front, both surfaces generate lift and there is no extra downforce that must be compensated.

Wow you built an airplane from scratch and it only took you 5 years. I built from a kit and it took me 5 years. Congratulation

in my opinion the soft baffle should sit on the inside of the baffling as that's where the pressure is, to contain the air inside and force it over the cylinders...

Magnificent exhibition Russ. I treasure the flight I had with you, and I'm building, building!

Pah-pah is what ATC sometimes used to P. Yeah, annoying.

New sub. I've been flying that airspace for about 10 years. I'm now based at VKZ in the FRZ. I flew out of IDA for a short time in the 80s. Loooooooonnnnggg runways for a 172.

What a journey. I’ve got 200 hours in a 172-SP G1000, and if it weren’t for the cost that’d be 2000 hours. …I do have a garage 🤔

Great video and nice summary, though I think the only thing you missed is the C7A cruising permit that you need to obtain for a private aircraft to enter The Bahamas. It’s a $50 fee and can be obtained online just like eAPIS. Once you arrive and clear customs at an airport of entry in The Bahamas, they will exchange the C7A for the transire that you referenced which will then allow you to fly freely around The Bahamas. Looks like you’re having a nice time in Cat Island - enjoy!!

,wonder if the drug smugglers done all that😂

Traffic 1:00 traffic in sight.

What's Your budget or how much did it Cost? Hopefully you respond

I'm pretty handy with tools and mechanical work. But I don't have those kind of skills, well done.

Looks like a quality build you have there. I think it is a misnomer that the main wing cannot stall. If you loose the engine, you’ll need to land as soon as possible. If you loose too much airspeed, the main will deep stall and it is unrecoverable, unfortunately.

Wire looked straight. Maybe have a slight bend to relax the tension

Does it have tiedown points to secure it outdoors?

What is your consumption , speed at 75% in 7k ft? Thanks for the videos

Great video Russ....hope to join one of these in the spring....

I WANT ONE. WHAT DO I DO TO START BUILDING IT

damn. I was just there last summer!

So impressive!

Stall resistant

Great video bud, thank you for spelling it out for us, definitely looking forward to flying there

Hi Russ, Love you videos and explanations. Finding your channel, and a few others about the CO-Z has sparked my imagination again! As far as your alternator ring terminal, since this video is a year old, I don't know if you came up with an alternative solution. The only suggestion I have is to use a copper battery lug terminal which they have in 10 & 12GA. They are really beefy and should take fatigue better. I don't know about the availability of crimping tools for them, but they must be out there, or you may already have one. Take care and have fun flying your Cozy!

Cool video. I built a Cozy Mark IV but I literally got anxious watching because it seems like an absurd amount of work and time. Congratulations and good luck with it. -Rob

Looks like Milano from guardians of the galaxy

Always thought they oughta be called skirts.

I think that is the best explanation I have heard for the canard

So after you find the compression stroke by rotating in the normal rotation direction of the engine (can be right or left) look at your blade angle it should be at angle to produce thrust from front to rear of plane when rotated in proper rotation, then continue rotation till the piston is closest to top of the cylinder. You should be able to see the top of the piston through the spark plug hole. Use a wooden chop stick if you can’t see it. When it’s close to the top there is very little force exerted by pressurizing the cylinder so holding the prop is much easier and you will get higher compression readings than if you left the piston in the middle of the cylinder stroke. Be safe!

Great work! Great channel!

Great video Russ! Love your panel. You made flying into Dulles look easy👍

Here's something to try. I was at 12,500 for about 2 hours. Kinda felt a headache coming on. Measured my o2 levels and got a 87%. Then started some deep breathing and the o2 went up to 92%. I kept doing that for the next 2 hours and was fine. PS, I live at sea level. I really think shallow breathing is a problem.

How did you build the canopy?

no flight safety inpection by the authorities before flying. This is not experimental, it sits two people.

What kind of skill do you need to build this?
