This is truly a one-off example of how all homebuilt/experimentals should be. All the aviation magazines that have written about it, have been stunned by the high standard of workmanship that Glenn Waters produced, and the handling and performance match the looks.

This aircraft has no phase of flight which requires excess skills to tame it (eg: Pitts etc) It s easy to take off, land and handle - it just makes you look like someone with ACE skills :^). As I also have a Cozy4 (side by side Canard) familiarisation flights for insurance differences requirements is possible (my premium is currently 761pa.). I have too many aircraft, so I have decided to advertise the best two, whichever sells first will determine what I keep (ie: when one sells, I ll withdraw the other)
