AutoCad format files for main wing templates uploaded to files area. Will add both canard files later. ================ Leon

And this is how we ended up needing one of the Jim/Bob 6 pack modifications. The prototype Quickie first flew with only a faired tail wheel for the rudder. When it was determined that it was inadequat

The Waddelow wings were intended for the Tri-Q and were optionally of longer span. Basically the difference in the lay-up schedule was to accommodate the longer span and reduced landing gear loads on

The tube is only around the main fuselage section. The tail cone is all composite. It will be interesting to see how well bare carbon ages. ============== Leon

Interesting. It does help explain why my testing came up with significantly different results. I'd really like to know what he used for his color samples. My testing indicated that surface temp is eff

If you read via e-mail there aren't any changes. But if you read on line they have things really screwed up. You now have to scan through the post "clip" to find the subject and date to see if you eve

Marko: Maybe I can add to the confusion: Looking on the web you will find a lot of the expanded styrene foam (EPS) used for - MODEL - airplanes. This is the white stuff that cups and coolers are made

Does the E in "EPS" stand for E-xtruded or E-xpanded? $30 is an extremely good deal, maybe to good. They are on my list to call Monday...... E-xpanded is pretty much useless for our uses. ========== L

David: Nice to see you still lurking - and I presume ready to pounce if one of us strays too far from reality <G> In my part of the world I have discovered that the foam can also be ordered as "pipe i

Just for my own curiosity I did a VERY quick CAD of a Quickie with the stock cut fit inside a trailer within a 94 inch internal width and a 4 meter height. I posted - european trailer.jpg - in the fil
