hoxdesigns@..., Would you mind sharing your identity? Who are you? Where do you live more specifically? It sounds like you are not far from me and EAA chapter 84. I live in SE Everett area and

Charlie, I'm not suggesting to repair a damaged aircraft like this. I was under the impression someone was removing paint and primer and they were worried about taking off too much glass. One could

Hi Eddy, I am suggesting your developed method of repair is not appropriate for our aircraft. A proper repair is to: Remove all paint and fairing to expose the damage. Remove damaged plies and core.

This technique I'm suggesting is not for molding, it's for placing over an are which has had a repair or even as a repair. If you're worried microballons offer no strength, glass does. The power

Hi Eddy, This is a great technique for reducing print through of structural fabric weaves in molded epoxy parts. It works by trapping extra epoxy between the fine weave and the structural plies the

Vern, Some problems with trying to do transition trading at a fly-in is different goals. Fly-ins pilots give rides to encourage builders and may let the rider fly when high enough to not cause

I've done many repairs on fibergass, I used to build RC models. One great method to get a smooth final coat of glass is to get the absolute lightest fiberglass you can get your hands on. After laying

Jon Finley is the NM guy you are talking about that built the Q2 with the Subaru. He now flies an RV4 and keeps it at Truth or Consequences, NM most of the time. He sometimes monitors this group, so

yes.. that is the one. Beautiful aircraft too. You got me thinking (uh oh!) maybe at F.O.D. attendees with flying aircraft make concerted efforts to transition pilots. That would include me also

Dan, For structural patches use EZ-poxy or Aeropoxy. For fairing the 105 is easier to sand and cures faster. Regards, Charlie

Safe-t-poxy is now called EZ-poxy

5 hours drive in the sunshine is not much to meet up with Charlie, Dan. You'd be wise to link up because Charlie can save you frustrations on completing your project. There was a NM builder/owner

Dan, I am in Benson, AZ, it is about 5 hours from you on I-10. I am waiting for a row of hangars to be constructed before moving aviation stuff. My Dragonfly is still in Utah. I hope to get it back in

Hey guys, I’m at KBVS. Hangars near FedEx... Dan -- Daniel Lee N200TQ 202.6940

Thanks for the info Vern. There was a builder on Whidbey my first few years building and helped him with one of his wing layups. I believe he was Navy and moved away before he finished, I live in

I'm needing to buy some epoxy to do some patches on the fuselage, wing, and cowling. I understand the safe-t-poxy stuff is a thing of the past, so would the west coast 105 stuff be ok? I'm not sure

It would be good for you to sign your name. It is not clear from your e-mail. Here is a link to a builder/project map. It is a little out of date and not clear it is being kept current, but it is a

What town? I used to live on Whidbey (Clinton), and as a teenager 4.5 decades ago we lived in Arlington. I also owned a home not far from Taos NM, which we sold recently. My Q-bird project was in

I'm retiring hopefully next year. I live north of Seattle. Is there a membership chart that shows what cities / states the Quickies are at. I would like some help finishing my Q2 after I move -
