I am about to buy an old Q2 that has never been flown. the work looks outstanding, but it has no upholstery. It also has no vortex generators on its GU canard. I would appreciate information on the be

I will be trying to get a Q2 airworthy that is not totally up to date. The plane has one fuel filter on the deck under the header tank. I do not know yet whether it is placed prior to the fuel pump, b

I am checking out a Q2 that appears to have 2 handles on opposite sides of the aircraft that work independently. Has anyone had this type of system, and what was done? I am considering removing the br

What is the max prop length acceptable for the standard Q2 with a GU canard and wheels at the end? Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 larry2@...

I am finishing a Q2 that was built to plans (1982) re the fuel system. Unfortunately, 1. it does not have a fuel check/drain for the main tank, or 2. the header tank, plus 3. it has the only fuel filt

That is a good addition, but it doesn't address the lack of drains in the tanks (needed in the case of water or other contaminants in the fuel). Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852

Now that QAC is gone, is there any way to convert a Q2 from a GU canard to a LS(!)? Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 larry2@...

Currently, have neither plans nor spars so I guess that I need information on where I can obtain both plans and spars and how much. I know that the newsletters did not recommend individual lay up of t

I have had great success with dry micro (mix micro into the epoxy until it is as dry as pie dough before the rolling), then mix in rubbing alcohol (>90% alcohol) until you get the consistency that you

If they are "balanced" they will be faired at the center of trim. The longer the arm, the less weight needed. The plane that I am buying has plans built balance arm against the wall on each side. They

I use the stuff that Aircraft Spruce list as the replacement for what Rutan used. E-Zpoxy is on page 33 of the 2003-2004 catalog. Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 larry2@...

I have used Super Fill. I resigned my self to a sloppy job, until I found out about the dry micro/rubbing alcohol system. It ends up costing 90% less and given the flexibility and ease of use not avai

Definitely NON-STRUCTURAL! Since acetone is used to clean epoxy applicators, I suspect that it would not be a good substitute. I use EZPoxy with E-Z 83 (standard) hardener. Here in So. Calif, it seldo

The alcohol will thin the micro but it really isn't a good idea. I tried to make clear, when I started this string, that the method was only to be used in final filling to fit small gaps and pin holes

How was that canopy raise mechanism formed? I have one with a forward opening, like the pictures, but it requires gas struts connecting to the longerons. Also, how is the canopy lock down done? My pla

The plan baffel masters do not seem to address the presence of a turbo on the engine. Mine is at the front of the engine. Should I put the baffels (cooling it) in front, or behind the turbo (not cooli
