Thanks for outlining the procedure. Some questions.... Hmmm. I don't know enough to even ask a question! Joseph ----- Original Message -----
From: JohntenHave To: Q-LIST@... Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 11:57 PM Subject: [Q-LIST] Re: Thrust Line & Bellyboard Joseph, Do not guess. let me give you an outline of how to calculate what you need. Firstly work backwards from what it does (or more accurately) what you want it to do. In this case deploy and slow the aircraft down. So work out the area, and how fast it could inadvertently be deployed (do not be tempted to think this will never happen to me!). That will give you the load to be reacted. Guess high speed. Assume opens at 90 deg to airflow. The Safety factor is then applied to the load. Say 2.5. Next figure out how the loads will flow, i.e. from the uniform distributed load on the plate to the attachment points and the actuator attachment. Next trick is to analyse the loads at the concentration points for the load cases, eg shear around the head if you are trying to pull the bolt through the material, compressive stress if you are trying to load the fastener in shear, edge distance analysis for failure due to pull out, etc, get the picture? Put sufficient material in place to react the safety factored load. Then consider the whole plate as a beam attached with a pin joint at one end and a simple support at the actuator and consider the bending lengthways and across the beam. Make sure the load does not exceed the allowables for hand layup. Next port of call is to put your feet on the desk and think about failure modes, what could happen if it broke? If it broke, where would be the best place for it to break? If you were in a crash and it was deployed would it spear you or would you prefer it to break before it got to you? Then think about where the loads go in the fuselage, With this sort of thing, it is often better to make sure that the parent structure does not fail under limit load whilst the airbrake remains intact. i.e match the strengths or deliberately design the part to fail first. Then lay out the materials to meet the requirements. As a flat sheet you might well find that for most of the loads that the part sees, it is too strong but it is simpler to make, and light enough to tolerate. Last check, reverse engineer what was done before as a cross check ( and be prepared for a few revelations...)

Yes, I have a copy of the belly board installation plans. There is a diagram of the control arm but no template of the board itself.

Thanks so much... The original size of the Q2/200 belly board was 10"x11". I will look forward to your results. Joseph ----- Original Message -----

I would suggest that if you want some thickness you put a foam core in between 2 layers per side. Use an epoxy resin vs. a polyester and drill 1/16" holes in the foam on 1inch centers to create pilings between skins. Vacuum infuse. I'll run the analysis in the morning on a 24" X 12" against a 200knot sea-level breeze and see how close I am. A board that size is probably equal to the total drag of the rest of the airplane if not more. The format for that is w/w/fc.5/w/w where w=weave, fc=foam core If you can find a small patch of honeycomb all the better but that means laying up two plies and bonding them over a honeycomb to keep resin out of the cells. My personal favorite is end cut balsa for core material. -Ben N124BB (reverse engineering a Q1) _____ From: Joseph Snow [mailto:1flashq@...] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 10:09 PM To: Q-LIST@...

Ron Triano <rondefly@...>
Joe, you're on the right track. If you can, just flip the fuselage upside
down, put some wax paper in the area and do the layup right where you want it per Sams suggestion. You can look on my web site to see how I flip mine around when needed. Sure makes it easy to work in some of the hard to get to places. According to what kind of cloth you get you will need to alternate the direction of the fibers for strength.

In regards to lay up since it is rather flat you want to do a balanced lay up 90, 0,45+.45- 0,90 of Bid.

Yes, that would give it a better contour. If a composite engineer could offer a carbon fiber layup schedule, that would be great. Otherwise, some of us newbies will not be able to duplicate the 6-pack. Aircraft Spruce says the carbon fiber bid is .007 thick. I am calculating that I would need about 12-13 layers. I can get 12 pieces from 1 sq. yd. of bid. I may have to "wing" it.

From: Joseph Snow [mailto:1flashq@...] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 5:44 PM To: Q-LIST@... Subject: [Q-LIST] Thrust Line & Bellyboard Regarding your second question. Yes the board was made out of carbon fiber. It is about 1/8" thick. The best way would probably do a vacuum bag lay-up of carbon fiber, using the belly of the aircraft to get your shape. Sam Second Question: I am, tonight, starting on the bellyboard. As I read the instructions, it seems that QAC provided a carbon fiber bellyboard as part of the speed brake modification kit. I do not have this kit. So, I will have to fabricate all of the parts. Question(s): Was the original bellyboard constructed of carbon fiber? If so, does anyone know how many layers of carbon fiber cloth? Or, can a board be constructed of bid/uni and what would be the layup schedule? Thanks for your help.

I have two questions I would like to address.
Thrust Line: I have asked this question before, e.g. What is the location of the crankshaft centerline on the firewall of a Q200? Also, what is the relationship of this location to the intersection of BL00 and WL 15, Several people responded with measurements referenced in the builder manual for the Q2 and the Q200. Can someone tell me if the location of the crankshaft center line is the same for a VW engine and for an O-200 engine. I am wondering if the lower powered VW centerline might be above the location of the centerline of the O-200. This is why I would like to know where the centerlines are located in relation to BL00/WL15. I have not had either of these engines, so I cannot determine the locations for myself. I am thinking that if the VW power rating places the centerline about one inch above WL15 on BL00 and the higher powered O-200 (rated at 100 hp) is lower, then a Corvair rated at 110 hp might be lower. I believe someone has installed a Lycoming O-235 (115 hp) and another a Jibaroo (? hp). At one time someone said the thrust line is BL00 and WL15. I suppose the Corvair should be located either between the O-200 and the O-235 or at some consensus location in reference to BL00/WL15. I am about to build the final version of my motor mount which prompts this request for a consensus of the correct location. Second Question: I am, tonight, starting on the bellyboard. As I read the instructions, it seems that QAC provided a carbon fiber bellyboard as part of the speed brake modification kit. I do not have this kit. So, I will have to fabricate all of the parts. Question(s): Was the original bellyboard constructed of carbon fiber? If so, does anyone know how many layers of carbon fiber cloth? Or, can a board be constructed of bid/uni and what would be the layup schedule? Thanks for your help. Joseph Snow |
