Cozyjet For Sale on E-BAY (between 150.000 and 225.000 us$)

Cozyjet, as seen on the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, Sport Aviation and at airshows all over America is available for sale.  L-39 performance on 1/4 the fuel burn, with room for two, and the legendary flying characteristics of Rutan's LongEZ.

The Cozyjet burns 42 GPH of Jet A with a range of 480 nautical miles plus reserve.  Equipped with dual EFIS and standby EFIS/Lite, SL-30 radio and transponder the Cozyjet is suitable for VFR or light IFR flying.

The General Electric T-58-8 engine is a military turboshaft engine that powers Sea King helicopters and was converted to pure jet use.  These conversions are very popular but the T-58 has a reputation for being noisy.  Until now, of course.  The Hastex stainless exhaust cone on the Cozyjet is a new design that was quickly copied by everyone using this engine because it is both efficient and quiet.  Taxiing past an idling Citation in the Cozyjet always elicits comments on how quiet she is by comparison.

The Cozyjet cruises at 210 Knots _indicated_ and is limited to a 25,000 foot service ceiling.  I have had the jet out to 240 KIAS to verify performance, but don't recommend pushing much past that.  Remember, this is INDICATED airspeed.  At altitude you'll be zipping along quite a bit faster.
