I bought plans #657 for the Cozy in December of 1997.  While my focus on starting remained, life decided to throw me a few curve balls between now and then - like a couple of moves, a new house, a new daughter and tons of overtime.  I was finally ready to build again late in 1999 but couldn't bring myself to place an order for supplies.  I wanted a workshop, still needed some tools, a jig table, etc. - I just wasn't ready.  After all, this aircraft will be expected to haul my family around the United States and potentially beyond, I felt it should be created in a place worthy of its design.  So, I spent most of 2000 "building" and outfitting my workshop.   I also built a hot box, fiberglass rack and jig table - follow the links above for details.
