Tommy,
I have about 2000 hours plus about 350 hours of assistance from friends and
etc. I've only been building about 18 months, but I'm semi-retired, and
work about 30-40 hours per week on the plane. As far as the engine, it
really didn't add too much to the work hours, but did add allot of research
hours, which I don't track.
As far as fiberglass skills, I had none when I started. It is really pretty
easy once you get started, and the plans start out with simple tasks in the
beginning, so you develop your skills as you go. I think that I could make
almost anything with fiberglass now.
I checked my log, and I have 219 hours on the engine installation. There
are allot more "off-the shelf" items available that weren't there just a few
years ago.

Steve, How many hours of construction time have you logged, and how much of
that was for engine development? Congratulations!
I looked at building a Cozy about 6 years ago but decided it was too much
for my undevoped skill..:0)

Here is another picture of the Cozy, just in case you didn't recognize it
because it wasn't in the "grazing" position.
