If they had only 2 or three people able to measure/mix and layup - would they choose the hard? I read other sites and this seems to be one of the arguments (reasons) for homebuilders (vs. production

I used the Lighspeed Mach I with custom earpieces. While they work well for me (thought I have not worn them for more than four hours straight), they are NOT for everyone. The custom earpieces

I asked the Velocity production people about their wing construction and hard-shelling. These guys make wings for a living and have done it hundreds of times. Do they use the wet application or

Hi guys, Yea, that fee is for creating the custom ear pieces. My understanding is that you only need the custom molded ear pieces if the headset does not have a headband and is necessary to help

Paul. John T H knows what he is talking about and I (for one) appreciate his very detailed expert posts. Allan F

I have the LS1 in pdf format and the LS1 (not cut down for carbon spar or elevator) in a DXF file if either help. M. To: Q-LIST@...: larry2@...: Fri, 16 Nov 2007

Does anyone have autocad 14 files for the Q2, especially the canard? Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 larry2@...

Jon & Mike, I bought a set of the Mach 1's offered by Lightspeed. The "osh special" was to have the audiologist fit the custom molds for nearly free. I very much liked the set. However, I could

Sure, check the presentation I posted this morning in the files section. John http://club.live.com/star_shuffle.aspx?icid=starshuffle_wlmailtextlink_oct homepage.

Please check the archives on this subject. It has been discuss at length. I believe there is a description on how to do it and an opinion why you shouldn't do it. Doug "Hawkeye" Humble A Sign Above

A Swiss gentleman by the name of Rudi Brandenburger did a load test on a Q2 for the Swiss FAA. He used to be a ground engineer for Swissair but I have lost contact with him now. His Q2 was registered

John, Could you post some pictures of your Q? Dave D. johntenhave <johntenhave@...> wrote: Paul, no offence taken, and there is nothing like a healthy, reasoned

Hi I'm completing a Q-200 project over here in Switzerland! I'd like to perform a wing loading test! Anyone has infos about a load test on a quickie? Thanks Tom

No, but it is heavier. The more micro put in the epoxy, the thicker the medium becomes and the harder it is to spread. More micro is easier to sand than less. The ability of the alcohol to evaporate

Hi Mike I find John Tenhave very irritating with his arrogant and patronising manner! I know I shouldn't let it get to me (and I am not the first) and usually I don't, but this time it

Sorry, I had not gotten to that stage of my mind build - I was thinking you were talking about what I had posted the question about with the inital alignment - then next step (wet micro or

NO! The alcohol/micro/epoxy mix is very weak by design. It provides a good sanding surface to provide a super smooth base for your paint job. Do not apply to the foam! It is used ONLY for the final

We did 2 or 3 layers at a time on the Cozy b/c it was a lot easier to control the resin on a flat surface (workbench) then transfer it to the wing on plastic and do final "attachment" with a stippling

Paul, All this makes sense. I still think the bond between hardshell or micro-wet layup the weak point is between the micro (whether hard or wet) and not the rough sanded hard and glass. Yes the

Paul, I was actually going to build a "finish template" to determine how close the final profile is to the true airfoil. I see Johns point about how adding .0013 and .0009 layers can add up to a
