In the case of Bonding thin 2" Foam to make thicker Blocks for making Wingsis a Bad Idea! But something maybe worth looking into is using Cheap 2 part Liquid EpoxyPlastic that sets up at Room

Hi Uzair, In theory you are right: a wing *could* be built from 2 inch thick foam bonded together to form an 8 inch thick foam block. If you use micro, the bond will be stronger than the foam

Uzair, I understand you may have concerns not being a composites designer. The bottom line is that a Q built to the plans is a proven airframe flown within the envelope. Where people get in trouble

Ok, that's resolved. Outboard and inboard in both wing and canard are also butt joined. Will that not be a problem at high speeds since they are also bonded. My queries might seem lame, but I am a

Uzair, The core of a sandwich beam transmits the shear loads from the bottom (tension) side to the top(compression) of the beam. Discontinuities in the shear web concentrate loads like bond lines that

No, no, no! Follow the plans. Early on there was a fatality in Canada where the builder did just what you are suggesting. He was doing a high speed fly-by and his wing came apart. Sam Sent via

Sorry Mike, my bad. In case of Q1, plans ask for 7" thick styrofoam for wings and canard. But I can easily acquire 2" thick styrofoam, with same density as being sold on aircraftspruce. Can I bond a

Hi Uzair, You won't get any response from a non question. Tell us where you live, what you have flown, what airport are you near... Then ask a question! Check out my building web page on the Q200

Uzair, May I suggest this site as a great place too start. http://www.fastlittleairplanes.com/ Of course the Q-List forum is great to ask questions. Regards, Norm Parmley

Just wanted to invite everyone to come and checkout the updated website for Fast Little Airplanes. As we continue to move forward we will continue to update photos and parts, and would love to hear

I would like to see if we could bribe any Q200 drivers to come to KMIT on the 10th or 11th and provide my son and test pilot a ride in a Q200? He has 40+hrs in the TriQ and quite a bit tail wheel

Hello Everyone, I have spent some time checking out information here on the Q-list. There is a ton of information, however I find the system clunky and inefficient. I have built a Stratux ADS-B

Not officially. Sam we will probably do a special event soon, but I am gone for the next couple of weekends. Weather is getting very good here so it will be soon. I will keep in touch. I really

Has the BBQ been re-scheduled?? Sam Kittle

And anyone that comes down to see us is welcome to try any of these props if you like. Cheers.

On the TriQ200 we have a 62X68 Performance Prop torqued to 30 foot LBS, 2400 static and 2900 WOT. Installed the 60X72 Catto also at 30 foot lbs. Turns 2300 static and 2800 WOT but is 5 mph faster

Hi Jim, Is that 2500 rpm at WOT? Cheers, Jay

Thanks, Jim. I really feel the need to understand the engine health so gotta get the EIS installed. The current system has Western Gages and I don't trust them. This engine isn't souped up and I plan
