Post-Test Period Flight
and Modification/Upgrade Reports
Cozy MKIV N83MZ

So I've long since finished flying off the 40 hour restricted period, done all the necessary testing and have been using the plane for three and a half years now.  Here I present some of the more interesting flights and experiences - most of these have been posted to the COZY mailing list and I reprint them here.
