Mark Summers from Livermore has a Q200/0200 with a GU canard. It is one fast airplane!

It is pretty nice. I requested some photo's and it seems like a nice plane. I believe it has the GU canard, thus I had to pass as I would be putting an 0200 on it. But it looks like a very nice plane for a great price.

Regarding the sagging canards. In the beginning of the Dragonfly with Rex Taylor supporting them, he mentioned in one of the news letters that his prop was getting closer and closer to the ground as time went on. He had a Mark 1 with the lighter built canard. To solve the problem, he got some canned milk [don't ask why milk] and mixed it with some black carbon. He raised the fuselage and let the canard hang and spread the black mixture over the top of the canard. Left in the sun, it sagged back to position and he then washed it of. May sound like urban legend , but it was in the newsletter. Canada Chris

Jon,

Ditch the rubbers, this is proven close to 1000 hrs., and you can do it in
your hanger.

Hi all,

I am looking for help to find something. Problem is, I don't even know
what to call that something...

I have an aluminum "disk" bolted to the front of my propeller which serves
as a spinner "bulkhead". Around this disk I run a length of rubber hose
that is split (making it kinda U shaped). The hose only stays put for about
5 hours before it starts coming off. I've tried all sorts of things to
secure it as well as "glue" the ends together (to make it continuous) but
nothing seems to work.

I'd like to find a 10.125" diameter rubber ring (continuous) that has a U
cross section. Anybody know what to call this or where I might find one?

Thanks,

Jon Finley
P.S. I thought about making a glass "adapter" between the disk and spinner
like I've seen in Q-Talk (Lynn French, I think??) but the rubber ring
works nicely (but doesn't stay put).

Re: Rubber Ring Help

Martin Skiby
 

Maybe try making a silicone ring using a sheet of plastic so it does not bond to the spinner and just the aluminum ring. I like the foam and glass ring that fits tightly around the crush plate and silicone it into the spinner. I flew my TriQ like that for 300 hrs with no issues at all. Also several Ezes for hundreds of hours also.

Easy and cheap to do.

This method has worked for me perfectly for seveal planes and hindreds of hours. You can also just silicone it into the spinner if you wish. Not expensive and works great.

I had Ron Saber make me a tapered aluminum front bulkhead crushplate

wrapped rubber "fusion" tape around the bulkhead to create, in effect,
a large o ring that stays attached to the aluminum bulkhead. This
works great for keeping the spinner centered.

David Q200

A bit of background on my question: I'm working on a 6 meter / 18 feet wing
for an unmanned glider. Due to weight restrictions we might need to use a
bare carbon fiber wing. The UV problem is acceptable (limited life), but
the
epoxy has a fairly low glass-transition temperature (Tg). Judging from the
graph, our wing theoretically could heat up to its Tg while it is nearly
freezing outside! I guess we will need to monitor the skin temperature, or
cover the wing while on the ground.

Re: fairly low glass-transition

One Sky Dog
 

David,

Sorry to ruffle your feathers, I still do not believe a Dragonfly built
out of Safe-T-Poxy per plan would exceed the HDT of the resin and sag into an
un flyable condition then be resurrected with black plastic at Oshkosh
without a huge article in Sport Aviation. I have never heard of this and I
have all the newsletters.

Sorry without the hard copy and pictures I cannot buy it. But I do concede
there is a lot of crap built out there. I do not mean to sound like I am
questioning your integrity there may have been under the surface build
problems that caused the problem.

I know there was one Q2 built out of slabs instead of billet foam that
crashed from a flying surface failure after attempting to warp it back in the
sun.

Charlie Johnson

Re: Oshkosh 2011

Isaksson Roger <scratchdeeper@...>
 

If Quickie would not have been, would Dragonfly be??? Who knows, but I seem to
remember some controversy at the time, where accusations about stealing ideas
and I think even some lawsuits was in the air, between QAC and the Dragonfly.
whatever came out of that ...I don't know, but as with other canards that are
closely related to Varieze and Longeze, and the Quickie line, ....I don't think
I am far of saying that they are all there because of one man, Burt Rutan.

Historians have tried to replay the second world war, using , what if''s, and
that has induced long and deep arguments for and against certain outcomes.

I think that is all pretty meaningless, the wars ended the way they did, and the
Rutan Craze happened the way it did, and ut of it came all these excellent ,
either originally designed aircrafts, or derivative designed aircrafts that we
today enjoy.

Roger
