Newbie

I have looked around online in the usual places for an unfinished kit but can't find one. Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: paint color

This is true, but not the whole story. Every epoxy has a different Tg (breakdown temperature). The cure temp does not dictate the final Tg, in fact, it increases over time (about 2 weeks) to about 20

Crain Visit

Hi all, Bruce and Joanne Crain stopped by our place yesterday on their way home (Enid, OK) from Phoenix. I escorted them out of town this morning and took a few photos. They are posted here

Re: paint color

Bluntly, you need to learn a lot more about this process before you continue posting. The moldless composite construction method developed by Rutan has limitations and one is color. Paint it white

Re: paint color

Enough! Don't paint your airplane anything but white. The Lancair wing is far different from ours. They are made up of parts that are vacuum bagged and autoclaved at an elevated temperature using

Re: paint color

I believe the Lancair wing is not a foam composite structure. It has ribs. Doug "Hawkeye" Humble A Sign Above www.asignabove.net Omaha NE N25974

Re: paint color

What is the structural difference between our wings and the factory Lancair, which is red? The way I understand it they would both experience roughly the same structural forces, possibly higher on the

Re: paint color

The fiberglass isn't the thermal weak point, the foam under the glass is. White is the only color for me. Mike Q200 N3QP uncleducati wrote:

Re: paint color

Cameron, just stick with white. IMHO "wing covers" is an impractical idea. Follow the advice of 99.9% of the composite community. The objective reference is Burt Rutan. "How can you tell if a wing

Re: paint color

I'm using EZ-Poxy, is it as simple as calculating the average cure temp for this type of expoxy and not exceeding that? If the wing raises above the critical temp and then cools, will I have any

I've heard you shouldn't paint your wings anything but white, does anyone have an objective reference for this? I see a lot of white planes, but I see also a Lancair factory demonstrator that was
