That figure included 4 layers of infused 6oz fiberglass. I will need to get the actual number from Cal Poly Pomona.

[0.1969 to be precise) Passed lab testing with top grade test equipment ( by a technical college) exposing painted epoxy part to heat, rain, and UV equivalent to 10 years outdoors on a Florida ramp. T

Some top coats have UV protection, even clear coats. I am working with PTI paints. CPP is approaching the equivalent of 10 years of UV impact under exposure to Florida weather (UV, temp, and rain all

Does anyone know if there is a decent way to inspect for UV damage once primer and finish is applied? UV damaged fiberglass is milky. One could pick an exposed area and sand down to the fiberglass. No

I don't have spare wings at this time, but I do have both main and GU canard airfoils that have been hot wired. You are free to have them, but you will have to glass, etc. them.

Before your first flight, I suggest strongly that you get some practice landing. There are some who will give you a flight, but I have found none who will give you a landing. Solution: get a copy of X

I am currently home with Bronchitis. As a result I messed up. 3 people asked for trailer pictures. I sent them to Hawkdog and Martin, but I lost the other request. Also, the trailer is currently empty

My trailer was specifically designed for the Q2. The plane is rolled into the trailer arms. The arms are then clamped onto the canard. The tail is removed. The plane is then rotated upward exposing a

Yes, I have one in my hanger. It has been used to transport Q2 planes from both Oregon and Arizona to California. I have also transported a triQ, but it was a hassle because the nose gear had to be re

It follows the recommendations contained in "Propellers, The first and final explanation" by Jack Norris It performs like an elliptical wing with close to zero drag at the tip, and minimal tip vortex.

Page 78 of the Q2 manual addresses the mounting of the GU canard, along with pictures. The manual is available of the Q2 web site under the title Q2plans.pdf.

My description of EPS was wrong. You do need XPS. The EPS will work for my unique purpose. To find lots of XPS suppliers google "extruded polystyrene". Clark Foam, among others is there.

The material shipped by QAC WAS expanded. Extruded would be solid and HEAVY. I plan to be the first sucker for their foam. I will let the list know about the result, but, notice, they have a $250 mini

Based on David Gall's lurk, I googled "insulated foam warehouses". I got http://univfoam.com/ as a source. I contacted them and was told that they can not only supply what you need, but can also suppl

BAD: Controlling engine and oil temp is a real problem with the turbo in front of cylinder 2. I have gone through a number of changes in an attempt to control the problem. I hope to have the plane bac

I have a complete set of hot wired foam for a Q2 with the GU canard that I will give to the first person that picks it up. The foam is stored at Chino (CNO) airport. Don Crowl (kadiddlehopper@...)

Carbon has a place. It is 3+ times stiffer for a given weight. In the use that I will be making, pultruded carbon rods can provide 280,000 psi in tension and 320,000 psi in compression. However, you a

Source??? If I could get anyone to pay that, I would go into business. 100-300% is a great return on the investment. Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 larry2@...

Not a good idea to share antennas. Every division causes a loss of signal strength, even if one is not being used (50% in this case). And, if you get a new 406 ELT, you will need a new antenna. Larry
