..... sanding dust up the ying-yang, ...

Ah...regardless what the FAA says, I think you missed a spot or two. Might yaw to the left a bit.   ;D

Congrats Rick, I always liked the Berkut but the Cozy looks great too! Love all the canards!
Like the others, waiting for finished photos with the fancy vanity plate.  :thumbs:

Rick, your tail number grabbed my attention. I used to rent a 152 with the tail # N714ZG.

I learned on 152's. I still remember one that I flew more than others: Four Uniform Hotel.

Surprisingly, that's my hangar, and probably my plane too. *I* don't remember taking that pix though. Looks like I was adding cowling attach flanges to the wing and turtle back (canopy), maybe a year ago?

I look like every other Cozy from 50', but no accent trim colors. Basic white primer for now. Will try to take a 50-100' shot, and upload, in a few days

All electric, single screen 10" Dynon Skyview Touch, deluxe VFR panel (A/P. Mode S, ADS-b, cappuccino maker in back ...). PMA5000EX audio panel as the Dynon audio panel is only a bare bones two place. Room for a Garmin 650 when I win the Lotto, that'll give me full IFR. No FIKI though, canards do not do ice.

Registration was a fluke. the "14" was my anticipated year of completion (we know how that goes, or went), the "ZG" is as everyone suspected ;)

Possible, if there's an airport near by.

... How does she fly?

Currently like a brick, I need to make some adjustments. Gets to 145kts pretty quick though, I need to watch that until I get to the "test Vne" test card. Flutter issues, AKA catastrophic divergent oscillation.
