Welcome to my Web site! Thanks Rick for hosting, COOLBuilding of my Cozy Mark IV #1037. Over the next several / many years I will build before your eyes a masterpiece, and if that is not possible just a good fun safe aircraft. :-) And some other stuff I hope you find fun or useful.... Status: Plans Purchased: 04-2002 Built workshop that year. Started Project 01-2003 Working Status: Currently working Chap-18. Soon to mount Main Spar, want to finish as much as possible before hand. Chap-16, 17 & 24. Want to get as much of the interior done before it becomes impossible to lay on its side. Chap-19 complete mated wings to main spar. Built Chap 16 up to step 6 need to build the wings. Chap 17 Building with standard Roll Trim changing Pitch Trim to Alex Strong system. Chap 14 complete waiting on wing build before install into fuselage. Total hours worked so far. 1200 hours up to chap 19 Counting build time only. Problem with your hands / skin when it comes in contact with the epoxy. Will it started with me, at first I had no problems. I was wearing the latex gloves and everything (I thought) was fine. Until one night my hands began to itch and then came the blister. You guest it I've developed a histamine reaction to the epoxy, what to do?? First I checked the can of epoxy and found that white vinegar stop the chemical reaction, second I switched to Nitrile gloves, double gloved too. To protect my arms I put ply-9 gel on, you can get this from Wicks. So the process is like this: Gel, Glove X 2 when finished wash off the Gel and then put on white vinegar I wet a paper towel, that solved it for me. I hope this helps other builders. I had hoped that Innodyn would make it but it sounds like that may not happen, I'm still hopeful... as you can tell. Questions or Comments about my Cozy project - E-mail: Dave-n-Lynne@comcast.net Projected finish Date: 2011 I HOPE!!
