Program Description
"Sad Story & Rescue of a Cozy MKIV"
By Don Berlin
Building a Cozy was just the start for Don Berlin [KRYN]. Now he is combining a Cozy III and a Cozy MKIV which experienced an off runway incident into a rebuilt Cozy MKIV. Hidden behind his Long EZ in the hangar is the future Cozy MKIV, looking like a space shuttle for the moment. Don explains the purchase, the parting and the rebuilding process.
"Composite Strong"
By Marc Zeitlin
Just how strong are these "plastic" airplanes? Marc Zeitlin [KTSP] explains his static test of a derelict VariEze to determine G-Loading capabilities. He loads the wing to failure and applies his MIT magic to come up with our potential. Presents other testing on Long-EZ's and Cozy's that has (and hasn't) been done, and what all of that implies for the structural capabilities of these aircraft.
