To me "several plys of bid" implies fiberglass. if so, can you give details? Perhaps you and Bob Farnum could be persuaded to do an article? ( I believe several people made belly boards from scratch after QAC went . . . no, even I won't put belly boards and belly-up in the same sentence. Except I guess I just did. Senility is such a great excuse.) Mike Perry At 03:49 AM 3/3/2005 +0000, you wrote:

Mike,
You are correct. Not much detail except the layup was from several plys of fiberglas BID laid on so the each bid was at 45 degrees to the next one. The whole layup is about 1/8" thick and has worked fine for years, even yesterday! Jim P. --- In Q-LIST@..., Mike Perry <dmperry1012@c...> wrote: Jim:give details?

I am sure this is a dumb rookie question, but what does a belly board do?

The belly board is for drag to slow the plane down. As in this design is very clean and doesn't slow down easily. I'm no engineer, but I don't think it increases lift.

Ben has defined the Belly board as a speed break...
would this be a practical mod to a Q1??? for bleeding off speed Nope. Wouldn't do it. The Q-1 has much better visibility and slower landing speeds than the Q-2 and the belly board would just be unnecessary weight and complexity. The Q-1 comes down like a rock in a hard slip.
