Chris Esselstyn - Modified Cozy Mk 4

Chris states:  I have installed a IO 540 instead of the recommended I0 360.  The
mains are retractable instead of fixed and the fuselage has been stretched by 12 inches. 
I have also used carbon spar caps and skins on the wings and center section spar.

The plane has been flying since 1991 and has 1300 hours as of spring of '04.  The plane is per plans with a 0-320, 160 HP Lycoming. I use the plane for business and pleasure and travel throughout the country. I used the Cozy III design as a base for designing the present project, the
modified Cozy Mk4.
