 It's been a while and much has happened. First, let me say.... I'll write part 2 of that around the world entry here in the next couple days. Second, I had been considering the sale of my project. I had ton's of interest but made the decision that if I were going to sell it would be as a whole project and not parted out. Why was I selling you ask...

One of your jobs as a spouse is to support the other person’s dreams. In my case, I have a husband whose lifelong dream is to own an airplane. Not a remote controlled airplane or a part-ownership in a flying group (already there… 2 cessna 172s and a 182), but our own, honest-to-Goodness, airplane. Perhaps with our name on it… |

It's been around for a while, but I just came accross the Cafe Foundation's flight report of Mark Beduhn's Cozy Mk IV N494CZ. I read it a few years back and when I thought of it again, I had a hard time finding it for some reason. After searching the Cafe Foundation's website for a while, I finally dredged it up again for another read. |

Well, even though I didn't update last week, I did get a bit accomplished. I probably won't update the chapter areas until I have more pics but I have some time this week to get a bit of work done and plan on making progress. I managed to get the landing brake floxed into place and cured. I will have to do a bit of sanding and trimming though because it won't open to my satisfaction at this point. Not a hard fix or modification though. I also now have the landing gear to the point where I am ready to do the axle install. Not sure that I'll run the brake lines yet though. I may leave the legs off of the plane for now so that I can leave it on the rotiserie. I have been told to do all of the interior panels while the plane is still on the rotiserie so that it is easier to work on the inside. Seems reasonable to me. This past weekend I was visiting the Mouse down in Orlando, Fl with the family so I don't have any plane work to show for this week. Hey, everyone needs a vacation now and again. Planned for this week: - Work on that landing brake
- Re-cut the hole in the bottom for the actuator
- Work on the Brake actuator install
- Drill and tap the holes for the landing brake hinge
- Work on the Axles
- Align
- Cut the gear legs to shape
- Install
