Corbin,
If you subscribe to Kitplanes, they actually had a DIY article on how to make your own covers a few years back. -- -MD #2827 (still thinking about planning on visualizing how to finish building)

Re: Gypsy Wind
I haven't thrown out the old stuff, but it's not going to be used on this plane. That's another reason glass isn't laid yet. I figured I should get a lot of prep work completed and cleaned before really taping things together.

Re: Gypsy Wind
Very nice work Cody! Please tell me that you have thrown out that nasty old epoxy and will be using some new stuff (I use AeroPoxy for structural layups)

Gypsy Wind
Gypsy Wind,
She is straightening up, lining out, showing smooth lines and feeling loved. I haven't laid fresh glass on her yet, when we fitted the shells together I noticed a 2 1/2" warp between the top and bottom fuselage shells. I decided I needed a laser level, 3ft steel rules, math and some straps. I started by slowly bending the bottom back into straight using lead shot bags and a spare battery. Checked my lines with the laser level and started marking waterline. Then I set the top down and ratchet strapped it straight. While everythings strapped and straight I figured I'd check the canopy cut lines. Close but not quite, so I cleaned up the previous cut and now the canopy "clicks" into place in the fuselage. I decided to mock in the firewall and FS94 bulkhead and Mark where I need to sand and clean for fresh glass. Next step is to pressure wash the shells and get all the dirt, grime, mold, etc out of there. Once Gypsy is prepped, we plan on a layup party on a Friday night in the paint booth. I can keep her at a nice 80-90 degrees until Sunday and then set her back in the cold shop.

Saturday's Q-Tour - Matthew Curcio's Well Traveled Q-200 December 12 - 0900 Central Time
This month's Q-Tour features Matthew Curcio. I met Matthew at Oshkosh and he had just acquired a Q-200 and was living in Ohio. He got the plane up and running and got a job at Scaled Composites. Since then, he has flown in each of the lower 48 states and also to Barrow, Alaska. He made several modifications to turn his Q-200 into a real long distance plane.This will be a really interesting Q-tour, be sure to join us. The log-in link is at the bottom of this email.
The January Tour will star Corbin Geiser. Corbin also acquired a previously built Q-200, and like the rest of us, is making improvements to the aircraft. After he purchased it, he did all the right things to get ready to fly his new toy, and he is reaping the rewards. Sam Hoskins is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Topic: Matthew Curcio #Q-Tour
Time: Dec 12, 2020 09:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)

progress
Chris Walterson
Just finished cleaning the shop. I finally have the wing removed from the table and hanging from the ceiling, Have the fuselage removed from the build table and doing a bit of filling on the fuselage to tail connection.
The canard has been removed from the build table and because I had jigging blocks attached to the bottom, I put the canard on the floor, leveled it and installed the addition 1 degree of incidence and then bondoed the blocks to the floor. I've done this before and find it easier to move the fuselage to the canard than to lift the canard to the fuselage. Hope to install the airfoils permanentley soon. I also finished the landing gear I had made. It is the steel spring gear. Made the wheel pants and fairings and layed on the first coat of primmer. The assemble in the middle is the complete unit and the other pieces are what goes into building it. The brakes I am using are from Sonnex. Nice units. The complete weight with fairings, brakes, gear and wheels is 20 lbs per side. I am confident I am going to be much heavier than most Q's with my Subaru installed , so although the gear may be a bit heavy , it will be very robust. Still having fun--------------- Chris -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

New Tri Q200 Pilot!!
Thought I’d let you all know there is a “new Quickie Sheriff” out there in the southern US! Pete Stein and a myself flailed the skies around Enid Woodring Airport with a sortie to Stearman field for lunch one day. A bit less than 4 hours right seat and Pete can now land my TriQ better than I! Plus keep ‘er straight down the runway taxi runs!
He bought a beautiful lavender/white TriQ in Gilespie field in California! Pete is one of the best at handling my TriQ! Expecting big things and hopefully trips to see each other in the future. I will let Pete send pics or videos if he likes.

Re: Q1 parts
Hot Wings
Just joined this group today and saw this post.
I do have the Q-1 in 2D CAD and at one time a set of full size prints for the metal parts and templates. I still have the files but my plotter died and I don't have the desire to distribute them. The last time I did they were scanned, poorly, and offered on eBay. The DXF of that scan were at one time in the files section of the old Yahoo group. The DXF for the Q-2 foils I posted a long time ago were CAD generated and offset for the thickness of the laminations. If I get my engine project finished (see post in the Q-1 sub group) I'll put the metal parts sets I have setting on the shelf on the market. Consider my efforts nothing more than vaporware until they are complete. ============ Leon

Re: Sparrow strainers
This sounds like featherfill primer. If you look it up its good for small buildup for sanding/finishing etc.

Re: Sparrow strainers
Chris Walterson
Another question. As an experiment, I took some normal primer and thinned it out considerabley and then added micro to thicken it up. I then painted a piece of aluminum with two coats. Two days later , I sanded and it came out well. Kind of like a poor mans fill and sand. I haven't tried to spray it yet, but I am sure it will also go on nicely with a foam roller. You should be able to build any low areas without concern of over spray. I just did the third thin coat of micro and then on to primer. Any thoughts??
Don't be shy to voice your opinions. Thanks Chris -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
