Hi Kelly,
Yeas, I've been quiet for a while, but still lurking. It has been 2 years since I last flew the Cozy. I had an engine issue, and I had the plane in the garage for almost a year swapping the engine, and adding the EM3. I ended up changing jobs and moving about an hour away, so I moved the plane back to the airport before I was quite ready, and then while tuning, I noticed that I had developed a leak in the left fuel tank.
At this point I need to get the plane moved to my new house, so that I can open up the tank, and repair any damaged foam, and re-glass and paint it. I should already have done it, but between work, and home projects, I haven't taken the time. I also need to arrange with a wrecker company or someone to move it.
I did buy another plane though, a Socata Tampico, so that I could still do some flying. The plan is to fix the Cozy, and then sell one of them. I prefer to keep the Cozy, but the wife really like the Socata, so I'm not yet sure how that will work out.

Ah a voice from the wilderness !!..........Long time no hear ...........What goes with you and
your 13B/Turbo Cozy ??.............Care to give us still ground bound and those flying an update
on you and your A/C...........Of particular interest to me is your Turbo (escapes me if you have
an upgraded stock TO3 or perhaps a TO4) and how it is performing.............

Hi All,
I thought you might be interested to know that my plane is going to get some air time on Mythbusters tomorrow night. The myth is investigating why geese fly in formation and we did some testing.
The episode is called "Toilet Bomb" (because of the other myth in the episode) and it first air Wed Nov 30th on the Discovery Channel. You will have to check your local listings for the time. Here it is a 6 and 8pm but it varies by location.
Mine is the Blue plane with stars and bars. Enjoy..
