Looks something like an OMAC. Interesting story about its name. Two elderly aeronautical engineers were trying to build a plane with a pusher propeller, set-back wings and forward Cannards. At the time they didn't know what to call it until some young whipper-snapper was in the shop and laughed at it calling it the Old Man's Airplane Company. Thus, OMAC also became the name of the company.

They used to be just off of Lakewood Blvd near the former Donald Douglas Plant now the former Boeing plant. Then there was a falling out of partnership and I don't know what happened to the design since.

GAU-8: Mind if I cut in here? I just got back from the Chino Air Show and got a couple of neat pics to post here. The first three are of one airplane that really caught my eye. I blanked out the ID on the show board but even then it was confusing as I had never heard of it but I really like it.

Oh, the girl by the rudder? She walked into the camera frame just as I was taking the picture.

For some reason, the pic of the front of the plane didn't come out. I'm trying again.

Looks similar to a long E Z, with wing tanks! So what is it?

I did the best I could to enlarge and sharpen the ID board. So here it is for whatever it means.

Cozy MK.IV



Quote:
Quote:
The Cozy MK IV is a high-performance, four-seat canard aircraft which is comfortable, efficient, and economical to build. It has a range of about 1,000 miles and a top speed of 200 mph. When constructed according to plans and operated within the approval C. G. range, the canard configuration makes it highly resistant to stalls or loss of position control. The MK IV features full dual control and two-axis trim. The composite construction is very strong, resistant to corrosion and fatigue, and offers better protection to the occupants than other types of construction
