Nat's cockpit Winging along at 11,500 feet over Georgia My Cozy is N23CZ, plans number 108. It was built in Burbank, CA and first flew in October, 1988. I purchased it from the original builder in August, 1998 with just over 500 hours on the engine and airframe. I've flown from my home base at Houston Southwest Airport (KAXH), TX to Oshkosh, Sun 'n Fun twice and have made numerous trips to Augusta, GA and Tampa, FL to visit family and friends. I now have over 750 hours on the 150 HP Lycoming O-320-E2A and Great American prop. The plane is IFR equipped with Narco Nav/Com's, Loran and Transponder. Of course my Garmin GPS 195 handles most of the navigation chores nowadays. The plane was built to plans and has an empty weight of 997 pounds. It has a max speed of 180 KTAS at 2700 RPM but I usually cruise at a comfortable 2450 RPM which gives me a TAS of 150 KTS on 7.5 gph. I am a former Navy carrier pilot and think that sliding into the Cozy is the next best thing to being back in a military cockpit. It is a pleasure to fly and a lot of fun on 7.5 gph!
