Hi. So in your opinion West System is ok? One Skydog said the opposite - I'm confused;( Regards Allan

I have heard that West System isn't suitable for "structural" areas, is that right? Allan

Could his heirs be liable? That's ridiculous. Put the a/c in a container & send it to a more sensible country;) Allan

Trouble with being a "new folk" is knowing who the "old folk" are (who are worth listening to). Quantity & quality of emails may be all we have to go on. I would be interested in knowing more about "2

Hey, if you guys want to spout off about someone, why do you have to involve the rest of the group - take it off-line. Allan

Hi Jon. Hope you realize my post was "tongue in cheek". I hardly know the U.S. at all (brief visits to L.A. & N.Y.), one day I'd like to drive coast to coast. I enjoy your posts and looking at your ph

We sure do live in a beautiful country, maybe the best? Wait, you mean America don't you - oops;) Allan (NZ)

Is he still alive? Can we find out where he lives and "deal" with him? AF P.S. Lawyer joke - Some laboratories are using lawyers instead of rats to experiment on. Apparently the lab technicians were g

Here in New Zealand some of our laws (liability) are still reasonably sensible so 2nd hand homebuilt aircraft can be bought & sold no problem. I know it would be too costly to send an a/c down here fo

Ok thanks. Actually I wasn't that serious about moving the mains forward as I suspect that wouldn't be enough to prevent a Q from tipping onto it's prop (or worse), but I was interested to see if othe

Thanks John. Sounds like moving the main wheels forward slightly (3/4" for GU) is recommended? & that the LS-1 mains are 3" further forward than standard GU location. Regards Allan

Hi Mike. What you say makes alot of sense, I'll certainly give it more thought. Regards Allan

Thanks Mike, that's very interesting. I'll check out the articles you mention. Thanks also Peter, presumably the amount of twisting involved would be very small & could be varied by raising the tail.

Since Q's are supposed to takeoff and land in a three-point attitude I presume there is no reason why the main wheels couldn't be positioned further forward so that the a/c would be less likely to tip

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

Hi Peter. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "LH throttle cable". Do you mean a vernier throttle control? Regards Allan

Ok thanks. Sounds like knowing when to stop sanding is quite subjective as any sanding at all is going to remove structure, but nonetheless it must be done in order for anything to adhere (presuming p
