Are there any CFIs who are qualified to train pilots in the Q2, especially in the Seattle area?

The biggest problem with the GU canard is on the ground, not in the air. In the air it is more efficient. It does not like taxi across rough surfaces.

Every pilot who loves planes should visit the airport at least once.

I am switching to spar and rib construction with VI wing skins, so the design would not be weakened with using a ballistic parachute.

One thing. Your design is stronger in the center section than the plans built Q2. It also has the ability to easily support a ballistic parachute.

1.5 years for an experienced Q2 builder, especially with help, seems reasonable. But for a first timer, good luck.

In the few cases that I have been involved with, 6 lbs seems a bit low, 4 lbs definitely low.

It looks great. But the cabin locks were not shown. And, what about rain? Will you be selling plans?

.005in of PTI PT-799 paints have been tested out to 30 years with NO UV damage to the underlying fiberglass part. They have also recently became able to produce a limited range of colored paints (up t

Use your E6B (mechanical or electrical). The instruction manual will get you there.

If you use vacuum bagging, or better vacuum infusion (VI), you can be sure of the wetting out. This also results in a lighter part. VI will drop the epoxy/glass ratio down to about 40% vs 100%+ for sa

That is not what I learned at the #1 composite school in the U.S., according to Composites Magazine, but maybe the info has changed in the past 3 years. Larry Severson 18242 Peters Ct Fountain Valley,

One problem with the ADS system, there are still planes with no electrical system or a failed transponder. Too much reliance on the system will get you killed due to a mid air. Larry Severson 18242 Pe

What type of glasses are needed to see the 3D? Larry Severson 18242 Peters Ct Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852

One error listed the Tg (delinking temp) of EZ Poxy as being 155 degrees. That is the ultimate Tg, not the initial Tg which is less than 40 degrees above the temperature at which the epoxy cured. Post

I am working a unique system that involves a heat box w/fan and smaller parts up to 6.5 ft long, not a complete Q2. Larry Severson 18242 Peters Ct Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852

If you go to vacuum infusion using the PTM&W (2712) epoxy, the Tg can be raised to 212 degrees F. But that requires slow post curing cycles. That means raising the temp 10-20 degrees in at least 2 hou

I also have all of the foam, wing etc., cut out in a box, available cheap. Larry Severson 18242 Peters Ct Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852
