Thank you all for the input. So my better than average engine has slowly degraded over the years to average! I will do the compression test and borescope soon. Will report back what I find but

Looking good Sam. Keep up the pace! We are all pulling for you out here in freeze-ville. Average temp for December so far has been 13 degrees F. Cheers, Jay

Thank you Emron, For clearing this up. I have used Peel ply in fabricating a boat hull, over a male mold. However, IT WAS ALWAYS IN 80 + degree temps. so, I never has issues with the

One thing I am using for peel ply is Dacron purchased at Fabric Depot. You can get a whole bolt of it for something like $.93 a yard. Also Dacron comes in several different Weave thicknesses so you

There is a little extra weight using peel ply. On a big aircraft like a Cozy it can equal several pounds if you peel ply the whole aircraft, on a Q it would probably be pretty small. Robert

Peel ply can leave a resin rich surface, hence higher weight. UW and Boeing did some work on peel ply, see illustration on page 9 of

Phil, Q-talk 159 from earlier this year discusses the Waddelow canard in great detail. You can find that online here: http://goo.gl/8PD6JN There are links to the drawings (for free) from those

Um..... Additional weight?? As the name imply's , the added layer, gets peeled off, along with excess epoxy, therefore reducing weight of the laid up item. Charlie (in Texas)

Sam------------ When I do my building, I find it betterto peel ply the entire wing when I am finished. You can still get any excess epoxyout and it is so much easier to do the final finish. I use

Hi Guys, I am sorry if this is a dumb question. I am restoring a Q2 with a Revmaster 2100DQ and I need a prop. What type, diameter and pitch is best for general flying. Runaways around here are not

I just looked in my 0-200 manual and it says the average oil consumption is 1/3 qt per hr

I tried sheets of peel ply and it was very tough to pull off. I'd stick to the 2" widths. Mike Dwyer My YouTube channel: http://goo.gl/ddljYZ My Vimeo Videos: http://goo.gl/bsaLsG My Website:

According to my 0-200 manual that is about normal. That is what my Cessna 150 has been doing for ever.

I hope to be peel plying the crap out of this layup. A friend donated a bunch of old Ceconite fabric and I have a test layup going right now. If it pans out, I will try and peel ply the whole

Hi Mike, It sounds like rings, are you blowing any/much smoke (blue/grey) on start up or acceleration? You could try pulling the plugs and check them for carbon build up with any oily look and feel.

Do you have the right equipment for a leak down test? Phil Lankford

My 0-200a is getting 3-4 hours per quart these days. The compression is good. Any ideas on how to figure out which cyl is guilty... maybe all of em? Will borescope them in January. Merry

FYI. I used peel ply on the top and bottom of the canard where it will attach to the fuselage. This way you don't have to rough up the glass prior to fuselage attachment. Mike Dwyer My YouTube

Cool!! I'm a lurker on this group but really do enjoy reading your blog! Keep up the good work!! It's making me want to start building.. 8-) -brad w.

The latest. The bottom of the canard gets it's glass on Saturday. http://samhoskins.blogspot.com/ We are supposed to get 4-5 inches of rain this weekend. Good thing I'm not building this thing
