Lilly’s First Flight in the Cozy MKIV | Learning to Fly a Canard

My daughter takes the controls of the Cozy MKIV for her very first flight! From preflight checks and takeoff to hands-on flying, you’ll see what it’s like to learn the basics in a canard aircraft. Along the way, I share what makes the Cozy MKIV unique, how it handles in the air, and why it’s such a popular experimental airplane in the general aviation community. If you’re into canards, GA adventures, or first flight experiences, this video is for you!
