Cozy MK IV
Cozy MK IV Foamie Parkflyer Scratch-build
My very first venture into designing a Canard plane back in 2005.
It was a very successful flying model and flew exceptionally well for a foamie parkflyer.

Canard plane's flight character is very unique, there is virtually no wingtip stall on the main wing as the canard will stall first, which will then nudge the nose down and the plane will pick up speed and it will fly again. The Cozy is designed by Nat Pufer.
