Great report Sam, what a cool Grandad !! You certainly have a few hours experience. Thanks. Rich T.

Please forgive me for mixing up knots & mph here, it’s just the way I roll. I generally use mph for airspeeds and knots for navigation and all that “official” stuff. It works for me.

Very nice work indeed!! But I agree with Keith: the sharp corners are far from optimal. Your light vacuum will make sure that the glass fiber cloth will conform, so that's not the problem. But if you

Hi Eugen, Very nice photos. The only comment I might have is in regards to the contour edges. From the photos they look kinda sharp. If I remember right the glass cloth likes rounded edges. It

Rob, In an auto clave the usual cure cycle begins with full vacuum to expand the air bubbles so they move laterally between the plies. The pressure is applied to reduce the size of any voids left and

I got a lot out of it!

The fuselage of Q1 is coming up from the foam and the stuff is very sandy :-)) Some picture from the progress ..... Eugen

Mike, Found that master cylinder (original Hurst/Airheart) from my kit. Contact me offline with your rural dog-sled delivery address and I will ship it to you. Cheers, Jay

That's what I found out ....hoping someone like Jay has one they're not going to use otherwise I'll look at some other go kart master cylinder like MCP -- Mike Steinsland mikeskustoms@...

Here is my fire extinguisher location. The newer extinguisher is a bit taller than the original. Just measured twice and cut out a box and matching hole and glassed it in place. Not rocket

Horde your parts, the factory is no longer making our stuff. http://www.airheart-brakes.com/ Maybe knockoffs are out there. Sam

Both are used..slight vacuum and pressure are applied using pre-pregs. It's called porosity in the industry lingo. The layups are guiding the mechanic by laser light. They don't have time to mark shit

Great Let me know

Had Smoke Smell in Flt last wk ... Landed ok .. and found Auto Pilot Servo circuit Board Cooked ... luckily stayed within its metal container .. photo from the top shows some of the evidence ... stuff

I really like this as a thought experiment. And I see some parallels with autoclave processes. In an autoclave you can apply pressure without the vacuum turned on. Therefore this is sort of similar to

I might have one (36 years new) never used from my original kit. I will have a look at home. Cheers, Jay

Hi guys, I've decided to go with finger brakes on my Q2. I've got 1 Airheart master cylinder but am going to need another. Does anyone have one they want to sell or know where I can find

A couple of pillows, a nice throw and an end table. But it wouldn’t be complete without a remote switcher caddy.

I don't know. One has to put praise upon the Hoskins Hammock interior. It's so, ah, ah . . . . . .
