Padre Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Howdy folks. I have Cozy MkIV Plans 885, but I got a deal on a vari project, and I'm trying to get her ready to fly. I was checking the setup of the Canard and it appears the canard is 1/8th"-1/4" low on the righthand side. I'm going to double check the new shop floor, to make sure it's level, but the question that comes to mind, what is the tolerance here? and what would the effect be of leaving the canard this far off? (Can't imagine it would be good...) Thanks! Dan C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Can't imagine it would be good...) I'm sure I'll get crapped on for saying this, but you REALLY need to ask this question on the canard-aviators mailing list, where there are hundreds of V.E. builders/flyers and experts in these types of subjects and questions. Personally, as an engineer, the fact that there are no tolerances in any of the Rutan or Rutan derivative plans that I've ever seen is a major problem, but that's how it is. Quote Marc J.

dust Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 No tolerances should be modified to, not allot of tolerances, off the top of my head I remember the tolerances for attaching the vert stab to the wing tip, almost nothing for the leading and trailing edge and allot for the top. he he he Quote maker wood dust and shavings - foam and fiberglass dust and one day a cozy will pop out, enjoying the build i can be reached at http://www.canardcommunity.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
