Chris Van Hoof's Cozy Mk IV
Plan # 219
Chapter 05 - Fuselage Sides
This is exciting, getting to make LARGE parts. Get some friend around for added courage and you'll be well prepared...don't get too many or they will hold you up...

Chapter 08 - Headrest, Heat Duct, Seat Belts & Step
The Headrests were a test in patience,
the Heat duct was the best out of 3 ...
Seatbelts were a cinch till I found my dimensions were out by 1.5" on the hard points.
I slogged thru' this chapter of little pieces and patience.
