But - in the mean time - this is where you can look to see images
I'm linking to, on the COZY-builders and Canard-aviator mail lists
("Fly Rotary" allows attached images.)
I haven't actually got this far in my project yet, but several builders
had indicated that the plans weren't sufficiently clear about the
assembly order of the main gear mounting hardware. I sent this drawing
to several builder/flyers of the MkIV, and was told that it was correct:
MKMGA assembly exploded view
I'm not using this, but someone asked how it might be done, so
here's one way to make a copper tube combination ground and
heater coolant feed : Ground Tube
One person remarked that they would prefer to not crimp the tube
but connect fittings directly to it. This is a way of achieving a
secure ground to such a tube: Grounding Clamp
Someone asked about wiring their charging system. Here's a wiring
diagram for a very basic electrical system:
Alternator Circuit.
Then some asked about adding an ammeter. Here's the same circuit
with a "sampling" type ammeter added in:
Ammeter Circuit.
This is an "artist's rendition" of what I hope it will look like:

My purpose in creating this site is to share my experiences in building
my COZY MkIV, and perhaps let others benefit from the mistakes I will
undoubtedly make along the way.
The opinions expressed here are my own, and it is entirely possible that
I could be mistaken.
