Justin, I am curious about your statement that "it is unlikely a homebuilder is going to make their own tapered-tube carbon spar". It is a relatively simple thing to make a tapered carbon box spar using uni- and woven carbon fiber, all vacuum bagged to get good compactions and no voids. So why do you write this off as an option? You may have very good reasons, I am just trying to understand. Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I am thinking about organizing a Canard and Pusher meeting at the end of June or in September 2024.
The meeting place would be EDBW near Berlin on a weekend tbd.
My goal would be to establish a recurring meeting for the canard community in Germany/Europe.
Pilots/owners of the following models are welcome to get in touch:
- Velocity
- Speed Canard
- Vari Eze
- HB 23
- ..I am still open regarding the date, it would be good if we could find a date on which as many people as possible could take part.
Therefore, please express your interest or suggest a date.
Thank you very much

My cutter is just like the one above, black pipes in a 2X4. I tighten the wire by twisting the pipes with vicegrips and use one of these autotransformers as sold on ebay. .032 safety wire. It is possible to get shocked. I never have and never heard of anyone getting shocked doing this but I wear rubber-soled shoes on a dry floor. An isolation transformer is nice precaution--it would prevent the shock hazard--but most people don't use one.
Practice on pink styrofoam from the home stores. It is nearly the same as what we use for aircraft but remove the plastic coating. I am sure there are youtube videos. This one is pretty good https://youtu.be/WgxgcB57n9Y?si=ntsPHns3ysR-0XZL
