2016 COZY MK4, 4 PLACE COMPOSITE, ONLY 2.5 HOURS SINCE NEW !!  SUPER NICE, LEATHER, DAMAGED, REPAIRABLE, CHEAP !!

THE COZY MK 4 IS A FOUR PLACE, UPDATED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL 2 PLACE COZY

DESIGNED AS A FAST, COMFORTABLE CROSS COUNTRY CRUISER, THE MK 4 HAS A LARGE CANOPY THAT FULLY OFENS UP THE FRONT AND BACK SEAT AREAS

MORE FUEL CAPACITY, AS IT WAS DESIGNED FOR THE 200 H.P. LYCOMING

WITH THE SMOOH CONSTRUCTION, THE CANARD CONFIGURATION, AND THE EXTRA POWER, THESE AIRPLANES ARE FAST !!

WITH LOTS OF FUEL AND LOTS OF SPEED COMES EXCELLENT CROSS COUNTRY RANGE

BUT YOU DON"T PUT THEM TOGETHER IN A FEW MONTHS !!

THE BUILDER OF THIS AIRPLANE IS A REAL DETAIL GUY !!

HE SPENT 2 DECADES OF PART TIME WORK ON THIS AIRPLANE !!

ADDED LOTS OF SPECIAL EXTRAS (HE SAID THAT CERTAIN SPEED MODS HE ADDED TOOK HIM VIRTUALLY A WHOLE YEAR TO COMPLETE !!

MADE IT JUST PERFECT !!

THE TWO TONE GREY LEATHER INTERIOR IS A THING OF BEAUTY

SMOOTH, WELL LAID UP FIBERGLASS WORK

A LABOR OF LOVE, REALLY

SO AFTER ALL THIS TIME, IT'S FINALLY READY TO FLY !!

AN INSTRUCTOR MADE THE FIRST FLIGHTS SOLO, ABOUT A HALF HOUR

THE BUILDER WENT UP WITH HIM FOR TWO HOURS, AND PERFORMED WELL, SO WELL THAT THEY WERE MAKING THE LAST TAKE-OFF, HEADING BACK TO THE INSTRUCTORS AIRPORT, WHEN IT HAPPENED.

THE ENGINE JUST QUIT !!

THE OFF FIELD LANDING FROM 400 FEET DIDN'T LEAVE THEM TIME TO LINE UP PERFECTLY WITH THE CHOSEN FIELD, SO ON TOUCHDOWN, THE RIGHT WINGTIP, WHICH IS THE BOTTOM OF THE WINGLET/VERTICAL FIN, TOUCHED THE GROUND.

THE RESULTING GROUNDLOOP TORE THE RIGHT GEARLEG OUT OF THE FUSELAGE AND BROKE THE RIGHT GEARLEG ITSELF.

CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE HOW HEARTSICK THE BUILDER IS ?

2.5 HOURS

SO HE COULDN'T REALLY EVEN LOOK AT THE PLANE AGAIN, IT WAS TOO HARD FOR HIM.

I SAW IT TODAY, AND HE HAD NEVER EVEN OPENED UP THE FRONT HATCH TO SEE HOW MUCH DAMAGE THE NOSE AREA HAD (THE NOSE LEG IS BROKEN, THE BELLY IN THE NOSE HAS SOME CRACKING, BUT THE WHEEL AND FORK LOOK LIKE THEY ARE OK

HE JUST COULDN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT OF REPAIRING IT, AND I COULD NOT BLAME HIM.

BUT SOMEBODY MIGHT

THE MAIN FUSELAGE STRUCTURE ON THE COZY CONTAINS THE CABIN, THE FORWARD CANARD AND THE INBOARD SECTION OF THE MAIN WING

THERE APPEARS TO BE NO DAMAGE OR CRACKING TO THIS MAIN WING SECTION !!

THE RIGHT OUTBOARD WING SECTION (WHICH SIMPLY BOLTS ON TO THE INBOARD WING) IS DAMAGED AT THE TIP AND HAS SOME CRACKING AND DELAMINATION MIDSPAN. 

THE LEFT WING OUTBOARD SECTION WAS UNBOLTED FOR TRANSPORTATION, BUT APPEARS UNDAMAGED !!

THE AILERONS ON BOTH WINGS APPEAR UNDAMAGED

THE RUDDERS ON BOTH WINGS ALSO APPEAR UNDAMAGED

THE LEFT GEAR LEG HAS SOME CRACKING, AND THERE IS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF DAMAGE AT THE LEFT ATTACH AREA, ESPECIALLY TO THE FAIRING THERE

THE CLEVELAND WHEELS AND BRAKES ON BOTH SIDES ARE UNDAMAGED (AND ONLY 2.5 HOURS, AND ABOUT 7 LANDINGS SINCE NEW !!

THE CANOPY IS UNDAMAGED

THE UPPER COWL IS UNDAMAGED, OF COURSE, BUT THE LOWER COWL HAS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF SCRAPING DAMAGE, AND IS VERY VERY REPAIRABLE

THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY FIREWALL DAMAGE

SPEAKING OF FIREWALL, I THINK YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE ENGINE IS GONE !!

THE IO-360 ENGINE HAS BEEN REMOVED, AND IS NOT INCLUDED

THE TUBULAR ENGINE MOUNT IS ALSO UNDAMAGED AND REMOVED, BUT WE HAVE IT, AND WILL SEND IT TO THE BUYER AT NO CHARGE (DOMESTICALLY)

ALL OF THE AVIONICS WERE REMOVED, AND YES HE HAD SOME COOL STUFF, BUT THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED.  THE DASH FRAME IS VERY ADAPTABLE, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO INSTALL YOUR CHOICE OF MODERN AVIONICS WHEN YOU ARE READY TO FLY AGAIN

THIS PROJECT, AND IN FACT THIS AIRPLANE, ARE NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

IT IS A FOAM CORE FIBERGLASS CONSTRUCTION, SO THERE WILL NOT BE ANY SHORTCUTS IN THE REPAIR, AND WHEN YOU ARE DONE, YOU WILL HAVE A HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRPLANE, NOT A 172.

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A "QUICKBUILD" OPTION FOR THE COZY MK 4.

UNTIL THIS ONE !!

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH TIME WAS SPENT ON THE RUDDER PEDAL GEOMETRY, THE STICK ATTACH POINTS, EVEN THE SEAT FRAMES, NOT TO MENTION CANOPY FABRICATION (IT'S IN PERFECT CONDITION, AND OF COURSE OPENS AND CLOSES PERFECTLY)

THERE IS REPAIR TO BE DONE HERE, BUT THE FIRST BUILDER DID ALL OF THE HEAVY LIFTING

THE MAIN WING AND LEFT OUTBOARD WING ARE NOT HURT !!

THE CANARD IS NOT HURT

AND ON AND ON AND ON !!

AND THE SUPER NICE INTERIOR

DID I MENTION THAT THE FRONT SEAT BOTTOMS ARE HEATED !!   HOW COOL !!

THIS AIRPLANE IS SOLD WITH THE LOGBOOK AND FAA BILL OF SALE

IT ALREADY HAS AN N NUMBER, SO YOU ARE NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH ON THE PAPERWORK EITHER

LOCATED IN SUNNY EL PASO TEXAS, ON THE WEST SIDE

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR A BUYER WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE COZY MK 4, OR MANY OF THE CANARD PUSHER AIRPLANES, THAT THE WING CENTER SECTION IS ALMOST 10 FEET WIDE.  IT CAN BE TRANSPORTED LEGALY BY TRAILER IF IT IS TIPPED SIDEWAYS, SO COME PREPARED TO BLOCK  IT UP AT AN ANGLE

THE AREA WHERE IT IS BEING STORED HAPPENED TO BE CONVENIENT TO THE SITE OF THE LANDING.  THEY HAVE BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO STORE THE AIRPLANE ON THEIR PROPERTY FOR ONLY $200 PER MONTH, BUT THEY CAN PROVIDE NO ASSISTANCE FOR LOADING OR OPINION ON THE AIRPLANE.

A COZY MK 4 "QUICKBUILD " FOR THIS CHEAP IS ABSOLUTELY  CRAZY

IT'S NOT FOR EVERYBODY, BUT THEN AGAIN, THERE IS ONLY ONE AVAILABLE !!

GOOD BIDDING

AS WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT IS LOCATED IN CRYSTAL,MINNESOTA, NOT…….....EL PASO, TEXAS........ ..…….. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERSONALLY ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR OR MOVING OF THIS AIRPLANE SORRY.
