Go here for more photo's and info on Tom Solan's bird: http://www.greatplainsas.com/vwtsolan.html It says its a VW 1835 engine I believe a "Super" Quickie is any Q1 with a large engine? Doug

Has anyone ever added flaps to a Q2? What is a SuperQuickie? Any idea what engine Tom Solan has in his Q1? Thanks! Bill Needy Pittsburgh, PA

John, Thanks for outlining the procedure. Some questions.... Hmmm. I don't know enough to even ask a question! Joseph

Yes, I have a copy of the belly board installation plans. There is a diagram of the control arm but no template of the board itself. Joseph

Ben, Thanks so much... The original size of the Q2/200 belly board was 10"x11". I will look forward to your results. Joseph

Joe, you're on the right track. If you can, just flip the fuselage upside down, put some wax paper in the area and do the layup right where you want it per Sams suggestion. You can look on my web site

If you wish to add coring do the afore mentioned layup with peel ply beteen the 45s , After it is cured then seperate the two panels use a paste adhesive ,then bag the assembly together.

In regards to lay up since it is rather flat you want to do a balanced lay up 90, 0,45+.45- 0,90 of Bid. Then the part will not come off looking like a potato chip, Regards, Damian Gregory N8427

Dave I sent the link to Wankel GMBH which shows the single rotor engine but hp is listed as 37hp from 25kg weight. Peter

Joseph, Do not guess. let me give you an outline of how to calculate what you need. Firstly work backwards from what it does (or more accurately) what you want it to do. In this case deploy and

Joseph, I made my belly board from several plys of bid to about 1/8" thickness. At 550 hours of usage it shows no sign of fatigue. I deploy it for every landing. Board is about 10" x 10". Jim

You do have the belly board plans right? If not, they are on the web site in pdf format under Resources/Plans. I assume you have them but if not go there and get them. Doug "Hawkeye"

All, just a few more questions so I can complete the Phoenix: (Follow up from Jeff's post) Radios: I have all but unwired the entire plane and traced the wires (the mystery switch goes direct to +

I'm not a composite engineer but I employ one. .007 is a good number for thickness per ply but I can tell you that 12 layers of vacuum bagged carbon fiber is more structurally than you need. I
