You are correct Dave.The light glass cloth was used because they thought a heavy coat of straight epoxy might crack. My 12 year old Q1 tank is fine. Some of the EZ's around here have 20+ years and

Not to confuse, but just FYI. The wing tanks in Pulsars are done that way. They used two layers of 1.7 oz. fiberglass cloth. They then get two coats of the thick black 2 part mix tank sealant.

I need to get at least 5 hours with an instructor who has some Q time. Does anyone know of one roughly between the upcoming fly-in and New England? --------------------- Phil Marshall Signal

I guess Darrell doesn't know what a manometer is. Ron Sonerai taxi testing

Thanks Bob, The leak test is what I was thinking I needed to do. What got me started on this again was I asked why I could not run auto fuel in a VW engine and one of the answers was that someone

If nothing extra was done by the original builder, there is some chance that it will leak. If you can't find out what was done during construction, then I guess my next step would be to do a long term

Guys, When I built my Q I sanded the entire area where the tank was to be and put one layer of "B" glass on extending 1 inch beyond the tank and saturated it with safetypoxy. If the tank top is

Look at all the Ezes flying around with composite tanks and no problems. Jack

Russ The GU canard has a flat centre section while the LS1 does not, because of the spars. Therefore, the GU foam from BL15 to BL15 is one piece. The LS1 is two pieces, BL15 to BL15 with the

That is putting the amout of pressure in the tank that the gas would amount to and see if it leaks. Darrell Daniels

Guys, Please allow me to appologize. I must not be communicating my question very well and I'm sorry. I understand that the Q-200 uses the LS1 airfoil and a carbon spar for the canard to fix the

Christopher, Why reinvent the wheel. Is it the speed, the handling, range,the appearance...you don't like??? I don't know how old you are but if you are planning on ten years to build it will take you

Sam, I didn't see anything on how to convert a Q2 to a Q200. Only how to convert a Q2 to a EJ22. Did I miss something on the site? Danny Creech Sam Hoskins <shoskins@...> wrote:

When you add it up like that I can clearly see that is really plenty of fuel, I'd be hard pressed to fly that long without a stop somewhere but I like the idea of extra range to fly around weather, if

Darrell, if the tank is already built, why don't you do a manometer test on it to see if it leaks. If it does, cut a hole in the top and do the wet epoxy layer as was described on this list. The
