Re: Foam
Uzair,
The bulkhead and console foam ("white foam") is approximately 5/16" or 3/8" or 6mm thick depending on how closely you want to measure. :) As I posted earlier, it is General Plastics

Re: Foam
Uzair,
The urethane foam for the fuselage is NOT Divinycell foam, it is cheap urethane "T2000" insulation contractor foam, again, available locally to anyone near a medium sized metropolitan area.

Re: Foam
Right on, Charlie.
It's just MY opinion that what this group needs is one more amateur smarty pants who is short of cash but knows how to build a Q

Re: Foam
Again, my bad. I had forgotten that there was any LS1 plans available for the Q1. I'm not a Q1 expert, so I'm going to step out of this now.
Maybe one of these single place quickie guys can step in

Read some reviews about Q1 having canard issues, being too sensitive to rain and bugs. And the solution being to add vortex generators on the canard. LS1 completely resolved that issue.

Re: Foam
I'm confused. You say you are working on a Q-1, but you have LS1 templates. The Q-1 is the single place Quickie and the LS1 templates are used for the two place Q- 200. Two entirely different

Re: Foam
Few things that I couldn't find in the plans:
What is the thickness of the bulkhead foams?
What are console sides made of? thickness? density?
What is firewall made of? in "Assembling the fuselage"

Re: Open-source / community certification-like analysis of homebuilt air
Hi Rob,
Most popular designs are well tested to destruction and improvements are tested properly.

Re: Foam
Okay, I'm a little short of cash for wing and canard, don't want to get foam for wing and then for canard. I'll work on canard and wing together.
So I am going to start with fuselage section now.

Re: Foam
General Plastics' Last-a-Foam, IIRC the product number is 4300(?) and it's 4 or 4.5 lb/cu.ft. density. Get it from Aircraft Spruce or Wicks or several other suppliers.
