Kent Ashton Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I looked at your Flickr and Aerobase pages. You must have bought every clamp in Germany. 🙂 Found this one interesting: https://aerobase.weebly.com/updates.html What are you trying to do with this Quickie? I am impressed by your technology but it seems like a lot of work. Do you just want one to fly or what?

Eugen Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Kent, they will be never enough of that clamps in your workshop, so if any good clamp offer comes around the corner, than I catch it 😀. The point is, why I should wait to build airplanes until I reach the age of retirement?. The time to do that is right now and enjoy every second, that's life. Do never wait for anything or anyone, just do it. I want fly both of this wonderful airplane and I like the design of the Quickie. In the other hand they are enough in my family to pick up that nice airplane to cross the country by himself. So, let's do it, enjoy every second, open your mind and meet some wonderful people around the globe with the same conviction, be a part of the community and support it in the best way you are able. That's it. 😀 1 Quote Homebuild Projects ASSO X-RAY 600kg version - still in progress QUICKIE Q1- still in progress WWW: https://aerobase.weebly.com PICTURE: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aerobase/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad211bl Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I do the same thing 3D model the whole plane up before I build it.. Just recently decided My Q2 is a bit much for what I'm always doing by myself plus to have its little brother would be awesome! Your models look good.

Yesterday I did some CNC work on my mill and cut a test panel BASF 3035, to check all my settings in CAD/CAM software before the right panel I will cut.

I have a couple 4 stroke motors. So scratch building. From what I read its just no information on the metal components which I'm not worried about I can engineer those up from the pictures I have found. CNC is looking good I was going to be doing mine by hand. Haha. Low tech for my standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the wealth of resourceful information. That will make it much easier to get all the needed materials in a single order. As I get the controls figured out I'll be sure to send them your way. What cad software do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugen Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) I use Autocad Inventor 3D include a CAD/CAM app for machine code that fits to my DIY mill.

Did your fuselage bottom not line up well too? Mine is off, It must be flexed together or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugen Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Canopy? Currently it's a part of my to do's, so Yes. I will produce a primal form and blow the canopy, like this guys Canopy blow up process So please read also the comments below the video, how the guys seal the both plywood parts together (vacuum seal) and the temperature issue to serve with parts from old kitchen oven. Additional to that the use: "For our 1/4" thick, 40" diameter bubble, we bring the oven up to temp with the piece inside, then let it heat soak for 45 minutes.Plexiglas remains malleable between 275*F and 350*F." So the comments are very helpful to understood how the magic will go truth 😉 I catch up that information from Kent Ashton post it in a another forum. It will be blow up with a long mold to a maximum high. After that the canopy should be cut in the middle to get two parts, but only use one of them . Please find in the attachment a example for the mold. Additional to that I need to build an oven to heat up the raw material.

Kent Ashton Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Did you see this one? It looks like it could be done with several helpers to pull the warm plexiglass out of a suitable heater and clamp it to a table with a bunch of clamps. https://youtu.be/XF4dsFeyH6E What about asking one of the sailplane manufacturers in Germany for a canopy? You might find one that is similar. If they don't sell one that would fit, maybe they would blow one for you. I'd be a fun exercise but a lot of setup work. This sort of thing has a learning curve, I imagine. 🙂 Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in my opinion it's worth a try out 🙂 You are right, things need sometimes a learning curve. Thats the reason why some parts I build three times 🙂 Quote Homebuild Projects ASSO X-RAY 600kg version - still in progress QUICKIE Q1- still in progress WWW: https://aerobase.weebly.com PICTURE: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aerobase/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugen Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Enclosed is the new layout plan for the AirEx C70.55 panels, which are supplied by Gaugler & Lutz in the dimensions 2450 mm x 1150 mm. This became necessary because the dimensions 1542 mm x 585mm and 381 mm x 585 mm specified in the drawings are not available or only at an extra charge. The production of the parts on the milling machine can now start after the machine code has been created.The layout plan include the following parts: FS 110 FS 89 Bottom FS 89 Top Seat Back Bulkhead Canopy Bulkhead AFT Console Console Top Wheel Pant Instrument Panel Bulkhead Instrument Panel Lower Right Instrument Panel Main Wing Cover AFT Mainz Wing FWD Fuel Tank Top Stiffeners Firewall Brace 1 Quote Homebuild Projects ASSO X-RAY 600kg version - still in progress QUICKIE Q1- still in progress WWW: https://aerobase.weebly.com PICTURE: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aerobase/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugen Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Another test with URSA XPS foam from local homebuilder depot to check the current cnc mill settings and different tools. The XPS board was 30mm thick before and after processing it is now 25.4mm thick. I think the result is good and the processing of the ordered panels can begin. But, the machining produces a lot of flyable chips...... 😀 1 Quote Homebuild Projects ASSO X-RAY 600kg version - still in progress QUICKIE Q1- still in progress WWW: https://aerobase.weebly.com PICTURE: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aerobase/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
