Chapter 4

Home Project Log Links

I used the AutoCAD files on the Unofficial Cozy Web site to plot drawings. I cut out the drawings, attached them to the foam and cut out the foam. I cut all of the openings before applying the fiberglass.

I am lucky my wife Mariclair loves helping me build the

plane. She has been at my side every day.

To glue the pieces together I mixed flox with 5 minute epoxy. I used

duct tape to join the pieces together on the bottom. I then put duct

tape on both side of the top joint. Lifted to open the gap and filled with

the epoxy. Removed the top tape and let the glue harden. I sanded the

joints smooth and ended up with the above.

Here is F-22 and F-28 before and after we put the fiberglass on. We used MGS 335 epoxy with 50% slow and 50% fast hardener. We covered the parts peel ply and weighted them down.

Here is the instrument panel and the seat back almost complete. All that is left to do is drill the holes.
