Jim, I have not scheduled a FAA inspection but plan to call as soon as I get back (8-10-11) I have a couple more documents to produce and the package is complete. So weather permitting and if

Cool Larry, So care to elaborate on the "Tests that I have seen show that it takes about 5mm of UV protecting paint over the whole surface." test data who, what, where? I see that you have a

Good point Rick, it does get one hell of a lot colder in Canada than California or Florida and a frozen fuel filter, full of water, wouldn't work so well. Most of the planes in Canada are Aluminum and

Paul, I've had these delays in the past but never more than ~ 12 hours. I've also noticed rare postings I made that showed on the Web-site but never came to me. Recently Yahoo groups seem quite

I agree with Charley (One Sky Dog). This is an enormous amount of paint AND weight. Is there a decimal point missing? Otherwise, I don't think this is practical for aircraft construction. Mike

My thoughts exactly. How many cans of paint is that, exactly? If 2 gallons is needed to just cover the primer, then....figure like 8 at the least? Then weight =(% dry solids)*(weight of 1 gal

Hi All, I have a Tri Q and am getting dangerously close to being at the point of ataching the canard. Mine is a LS1 built flat (no anhedral) and I have been trying to pay close attention to the

Turns out Terry called me and answered my questions. I made the cut w/o any problems tonight. Thanks Terry! Joe Galletti

Hi Richard, For the standard Q's (not Tri-Q)... If I remember my calculations of 20 years ago, when a wing develops 1G of lift it is doing so with the lift distribution over the entire wing surface.

Hi Mike. Can you explain your statement I calculated that the Q200 canard has the equivalent of 4G on it when loaded to gross on the ground, plus it is supported by the wing tips. ? It's a few

I wonder if the paper filter issue in Canada is related to water freezing in the filter.

Hi Jim,   I use these from Aircraft Spruce p/n 05-01030 http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/fuelfilter.php They only come in 1/4 barb ends though.  So if you need larger barb ends, I've

Rene, What fuel filters are you using? Jim P

I have poured water through an old one but I did not mix gas with the water to see if it would separate or clog the filter. I thought straight water test would be ok. I am sure I do not know
