Video - Top of Tail
Hi all,
My video camera (mounted on top of the tail) finally worked this past Friday. Neither the footage or flying is all that great but it is something. I also see some "issues" with my plane

Re: Epoxy Choice
Guy----- Years ago when I was building I used the West System for filler. What I would do was to mix up some epoxi, add in 20% volume methol hydrate, mix, and then add in the micro balloons. Mix

I don't have it handy or I'd send it, but maybe someone else has it handy.
The 3/4 view of the fluid dynamic coloring of the Q might look pretty slick.
A quick Google for it turned up this image, but

Re: Epoxy Choice
I would avoid using Aeropoxy for filling unless you really like sanding and repairing sand-throughs. Aeropoxy is a structural lamination system and the resin is pretty hard to sand. You will save more

Re: Epoxy Choice
Thanks Charlie, All good practices. We built the original Vari Eze with Safty Poxy as well as the first Q200. My father in law was the expert at the epoxy work and mixing, but he passed away a year

Martin, Paul,
According to my inside resin formulator from the EZ Poxy folks. It is the

someone linked DMA in the cure

Re: Epoxy Choice
Weak data point -
Last time I used EZ Poxy, I ordered a 1-1/2 Quart kit from Aircraft Spruce (P/N 01-08050). It mixed and acted exactly like the Safe-T-Poxy the plane was originally built with. That

Looking for guidance.

Re: New kid on the block
Hi John and welcome to the group.
I can answer one of your questions...
In the US we can build without any oversight at all. What we build does not have to be on any approved list of any kind.
