Gee thanks! So you're in charge of weather this year Kevin!! - Paul Sent: Saturday, March 07, 2009 16:44 To: Q-LIST@... Subject: Re: [Q-LIST] Re: Flying again That is great

Thanks Sam. We did try with plastic covering the wet epoxy but couldn't peal it without everything coming apart. Some things actually go better with less helpers and this might have been one of

They are disks. We aren't really building the bulkheads, we are using similar materials attached in a similar way to produce a support that will be similar to the fuselage and bulkheads in the Q2.

Mike: Are you building the bulkheads as solid disks or are they to plans with cutouts essentially making them rings? /Bruce

Yes, just do one thing at a time - at least until you get some more experience. Are you familiar with using cellophane, or aluminium foil, for attaching BID tapes? That was developed a few years

It was a miserable job because we had wet fiberglass on both sides of the clark foam at the same time, plus attachment tapes. Everything wanted to stick to everything, except the fiberglass kept

I didn't understand why you said "it's a miserable job". It's just the simplest of layups. Murphysboro Sam

Thanks to Sam and Sam (are you guys a type club?) and to Mike. We were trying to do this as one or two long work day(s) on Saturday; now I think we need to plan on several short sessions. Sam

Yup, but use peel ply on the bulkheads where the tape will be used... At 75F one day cure should work fine. Sam lives in the frozen north where it may take longer to cure! Mike, 80 F in Florida

Great to hear you are up and running again Paul! You have certainly been motivated! Seems like only yesterday you were down for repair. I'll bet you will like the way she handles with the Jim Bob

Mike, do you have a set of plans to work off of? Yes, Glass one side of the foam, let it cure a coupld days, then do the other side. After that is done, trim and fit and glass to the fuselage

Paul, It is good to read that you are flying again. Bruce

Mike, The bulkheads were some of the first layups accomplished when I first started my project. If memory serves me correctly, the Clark foam would not lay flat, so I resorted to using straight

I am working with engineering students to prep the wing from David Chalmer's plane for load testing. In general, we are trying to produce a flat topped jig which attaches to the wing the same way the

Sorry to here about your misfortune Darrell. Good luck next weekwith your decision. Steve Ham

That is great news. The ball was dropped by Paul. Fisher that is. Oh wait he was the only one that flew in. Oh well he can take the blame anyway. Good weather has been asked for. Up to the Almighty

Kevin, I am planning on making Spring Fling. Did you put in your order for better weather this year? Somebody dropped the ball last year I think. Paul

Cool Paul. So is there still hope you will make the spring fling? Kevin Boddicker Tri Q 200 N7868B 120.6 hours Luana, IA.

Well. It would appear the Miss Determination and I have an anniversary coming up soon. But because the weather forecast for the coming week goes from Mostly Shitty, to Partly Shitty, followed by Snow
