Steve,
Thanks for the heads up. I had heard about this and did some
invesigations early on. Seems like there were also some near
misses when the wing began to flutter due to the same
problem. The foam in the canard is I believe poly urethane
and is not damaged by fuel. It is the same stuff that
aircraft spruce or wicks sells for building fuel cells

Tad, If my memory serves me right there was a accident with a
Q that someone had built a wing tank. He ran auto gas and the
tank leaked, melted the foam and had a wing had a structural
failure in flight.

Careful

Ernest,
I actually have a Phoenix (1 off TW). Started from Dfly
plans, LS-1, Tri gear 26ft wing span.
I have been told many things regarding Q/Dfly similarities
(pics in photo album N1107P...)

I did fail to mention there is a fuel pump for take off and
landing, no header. It has a lot of custom so It is difficult
to link similarities between either the Q or Dfly. I don't
have plans and not real familiar with Q or Dfly just know
there are differences and similarities and heard a bunch of
stories regarding the design/plan.

Tad,
I am not familiar with wing vents or wing tanks on a
Q200? Anything
would be a guess.
