Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts....while surfing the net, I stumbled upon this 20b posered Cozy.

www.islandsonline.com/daunay/   I

was wondering if anyone know more about it...Thanks. Paul Conner

Wow very interesting Paul. I was wondering what happened to Brice Duanay's Cozy.

Lol, Nat sent me a copy of that a while ago to pursuade us not to
build our plane.  After he went on and on about how little this
plane is worth after the mods and that the builder is
very dissatisfied about its performance then he tells us how much time and
expense we could save by buying this plane. I get 'love letters" like
this all the time from him.. I think he uses the term
"builder support".

The rumor I heard was Brice used the stock cast iron sequential turbo chargers
which made the airplane extra heavy. They are indeed heavy weighing in the
neighborhood of 50-75 pounds. A also heard he had power seats :) out of a
car and air conditioning but I kind of doubt that last rumor.

As Bulent mentioned he had to beef up the fuselage for the extra weight
of the engine and ballast in the nose.

Until I see some more pictures I know nothing about it for sure. I only saw
the airplane once and that was when it was taking off from OSH.

Canards performance and feel are said to directly related to weight. We pay 
careful attention to every thing we do or add to
ours.
