I found it useful to install a shut-off valve if I only wanted to use the main tank for short flights. Remember that the fuel guage reading in ground attitude is vastly different than flight attitude;

I talked with Marv last week. He is going to give me all paper materials. I will get up there to get them soon. If he has not sold the other items by that time I may just buy the whole lot from

I did that once upon a time. I used 1/4" last-a-foam to build my tank. It was a square when viewed from above and a rectangle when viewed from the rear. From the side view, it was a trapazoid with

Marv Getten is an old friend of mine and was invaluable when I completed my plane, in his hangar. Sam Hoskins

hello You need to talk to Pat Panzera or Mark Langford. They know a ton about corvair engines in aircraft. Have a look see at the corvaircraft group . A lot of information there. I was

Anyone with a Corvair 6 cyl engine flying a Q? The weight of a Corvair seem to be slightly less than an O-200 and power seem to be slightly better than the O-200. Cost seem to definitely be much

DUG, I have a Aymar-Demuth 58X70 that came off a C85 Continental TRI-Q. If you are interested $200.00 you pay for shipping. Send me you r E-mail address and I'll send

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

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
