Re: Call to John Forde
MATT HUGHES
John,
Sure. I have a 1/2vw 32hp engine. I want to swap the onan out, but I rebuilt the onan with all new upgraded parts so it's a shame. I wanted to keep it original but..... a little more speed would be nice. Merry Christmas

Re: Weight of Canard and Wing
Not sure and I'm not near any records, but in the latest go-around for an LS canard, slot cores installed, no elevator or wheel pants, 27 pounds comes to mind. Sam Sent via wireless Gizmo.

Re: Weight of Canard and Wing

Thank you Jay,
Out of curiosity since you have the Camit engine are you having to move the battery box to the tail cone for CG? I didn't know what kind of weight gain you would get with the Camit upgrades.

Mine must be lighter than air because they are floating in air when I fly. Put me down for "0".

Re: Weight of Canard and Wing
Here are my weights: Canard only with slot cores installed, weighed prior to installing on the airframe was 70 pounds. My wing with trailing edges and slot cores, prior to installation was 37 pounds.
I keep revising my W&B in a spreadsheet as I add components to the airframe. I have measured weight on the three wheels maybe 15 times since installing the gear legs several years ago. These weighings are done with or without any of the 32 individual sub-components that I treat as separate in my spreadsheet. I tweak any of the then-installed components after each weighing to match the spreadsheet weight and moment to the actual weight measured on the wheels. In this way I allocate additional weight to individual installed components until it matches each weighing. Some of this extra weight gets lumped as wing or canard including the mounting glass, fillets, fairings, elevators, ailerons, including elevator and aileron supports, torque tubes, control horns, mass-balance counterweights, nuts, bolts, etc. At this time, with my plane nearly finished, my spreadsheet shows the "canard" at 95 pounds, and the "main wing" at 47 pounds. So I have factored an additional 25 pounds to the canard and 10 pounds to the main wing, as installed. By the way, my tail section is now complete and final painted. I ask people to guess the weight. The lowest guess has been 85 pounds. They are surprised when I tell them it weighs in at 32 pounds. Cheers, Jay Scheevel, Tri-Q, still building

Richard, I have an LS canard and Wadlow main wing that do not yet have the control surfaces on them. Would this help or are you looking for a weight of them completed and ready to mount?

Weight of Canard and Wing
mylittlemgb@...
Well we are heading to the finish now and I we would like to see if we are in the window for weights. Our process for the canard and wing should have us lighter then what could be built by hand layup. So if you know the weight of your canard or wing we would love to know.

The BBQ will be at KMIT on Saturday January 7th at 1pm. We will have burgers and other stuff. I will make sure we have plenty of food and side dishes for my friends flying in. Please let me know if you can make it.
Look for the yellow A26 at the field. There is ample parking in that area and you will see our two Q200s there also. I have confirmation from at least two folks that are coming. Jim P. I certainly hope to see you and the group. Again all are welcome in anything you want to fly in. I look forward to meeting you all and talking Quickies and Dragonflies and stuff!!!! Thanks all. You can let me know you are coming VIA mskiby@...
