Styrene hardeners tend to get thick or crystallize. As others said, warm up the hardener and stir it in. Then lay up a test patch of several BID. It should cure in a normal length of time

Jay, I finished the fitting and welding on the intake manifold today. Degreased it and rattle canned some paint on it. Tomorrow I can start putting the plane back together. I have a couple of broken

If crystallized , double boiler 120 F until it melts.

Paul, Epoxy seems to be pretty stable if the cans have never been opened, there is a good chance it is good. The manufacturers have to draw the line somewhere for the guarantee it seems to be 2

Look on the side of the can and see if it says anything about warming up the epoxie to a certain temp to dissolve the crystals. If it does you can use it again. Not sure about structural parts

Hi Charlie, Thanks for the complete summary. I suspected that you had not stalled on the re-work of the cooling and I was right, it sounds like a real adventure. What a lot of effort though. I think

I suppose numbers are declining even allowing for new completions and rebuilds:(

Hi All (Paul) Thanks for the reply`s on the stiffener issue. I brought a Q2 kit that was almost unstarted, it had been in a shed for some 30 years. If I had not taken it, it was going to rubbish. The

Hi Charlie. Hoping to see your "jewel" over here in Colorado sometime this spring. Are you getting comfortable with a cross country yet? Cheers, Jay

There is a very nice Q2 with a Jabiru 2200 engine for sale in Montreal, Quebec. I have flown in this aircraft many times including a trip to Oshkosh a few years ago. I have also helped with

Well, as been mentioned previously, IF you are building a Tri-Q there is a layup specifically designed for the canard called the 'Waddelow', named after its designer. BUT ONLY for the canard without

Ray----------- Regarding your spar. Go to the dragonfly site and see if you can get their layup. Our canards are made for 1350 gross with the beefup mods. Chris
