| Cozy MkIV a canard design based on the Burt Rutan's Long-EZ. It has a respectable range of 2,100+ km at about 300 km/h with fuel in reserve. While the Long-EZ is a tandem, the COZY MkIV will seat four persons in a 2+2 arrangement (but no place for luggage). The cost of construction is estimated at around $15,000 without engine and avionics, only twice the cost of a typical ultralight kit. | ||
| Pros All composite Long range Fast 2+2 seats |
 |
Cons High stall speed Cannot be used from unimproved runways No room for luggage |

The cost of construction is estimated at around £16,875.00 without engine and avionics, or £24,540.00 with the motor glider wings. | ||
