Today’s guest is new to the Canard Community. Evan Winick is a cautious IFR pilot who bravely negotiates the legendary New York City Airspace regularly in IMC condition. Since he received his pilot license in 2005 out of Queen City KXLL, Evan flies 150 hours a year on business as well as making several trips to Florida. He hopes to reduce his flight time to 75 hours a year because his 2006 Thomas Brusehaver built Cozy MKVI is about twice as fast as the Piper Arrow he’s been slogging back and fourth with for many years. 

Evan and his wife Miriam call Allenstown Pennsylvania home where they raised two children, Tristan and Chelsea. Evan owns a business installing and configuring management systems and controls for industrial buildings. The technical skills required for that work makes him well suited to upgrade the base VFR plans built panel in his Cozy to a beautiful full Garmin based flight deck.

Evan is not entirely new to experimental aircraft. He is a past caretaker for N30ZA; a Zenair CH 2000 Zenith. Evan continues to develop his canard piloting skills and gaining confidence in his new canard N40TD based at Queen City in preparation for the new flying season.
