dust

you are a mean mean person enjoy the build dust

Señior slade did that and it showed impressive results and because we sorta did that on the outside of fuselodge with food wrap plastic, don't use food wrap, way too much work, but i can imagine exactly what john is saying and would have definately had i learned of it earlier enjoy the build dust

Ok, no wax paper, i know the plans say it but don't use it, buy plastic coverred butcher paper call wax freezer wrap, but doesn't have WAX. you can always use laminate bagging on flat layups for substancially less weight. The reason some use peel ply everywhere is that later they can fill with no sanding, in other words, no cutting of fibers with sand paper that reduces strength. enjoy the build dust

OK, i've talked to a coupla new builders on the phone this week and none of them understood the reason for using the "plastic peel ply" method of construction, they just think it is some sort of peel plying I think it needs to be called something else so that it is not confused with "peel ply". Also, maybe the whole description should be in caps so that they will listen to the screaming:scared: Hows about "laminate bagging" enjoy the build dust

Sorry gang, i'm so used to looking at them, i prefer them, when i went to oshkosh, thought the wings looked funny without them enjoy the build dust

was said "a flying "teeter-totter"" Well YES, all planes are, the canards are just a little more and less the more, CG too far aft, deep unreverable stall possible to far forward, no lifty off runway. LESS instead of a stall you get a porpus planes are very black white space = slow no space = fast stol=slow nonstol=fast I know i have oversimplified enjoy the build dust

38 hours and COUNTING, do you understand 38 HOURS AND 30 SECONDS ENJOY THE BUILD DUST

I really don't know what my engine will end up weighing, i am puttting it on a diet. It is already on a low carb diet, no carb, but i am putting it on a 321 diet also, SS that is, but i am hanging a CS prop 9.2 inches from the govenor and a no mag diet, no magnetos so, for me that is it. I'm just thinkin for others, Johns is not as "light" as he thought it would be, others on the group are looking at diesels with high HP and weight enjoy the build dust

OK, ifin you change it, you now need to test fly it. end of story, you have to realize that is the case, just like if you widen it, may have to decrease canard length. Simple appearing modifications have complex results I'm not talkin bout me here, i ain't cutting my bird and adding two or whatever inches, i'm just raising this issue because there can be cg problems at the current length, if the engine is heavy. For me, i am probably going to make my engine mount 2 or so inches shorter than the franklins was enjoy the build dust

I'm not sure that would have the same effect? enjoy the build dust

OK, lets get the flames going here, to counter a heavy engine, like a diesel or my continental, he he he, why not just add 2 or 3 or 4 inches in behind the front seat in length enjoy the build dust, soon to be roasted

This plane day was really special to us as not only did we have drew from the forum drive 4 hours to be here and mike, now a cerified builder needing to start on his plane parts, but we had dan from this forum, who is about as far along as we are, stop by for the day to help with the build. he is from toronto and had to be 1 hour away on saturday, so, down he came. Really fun to have another builder there and it was also great as he was able to see the set up for the 3rd strake, which he has not done yet, well, i mean not strake 1 and 2 for him. thanks allot guys, plane day is this saturday and we will flange strake 3, roughly fit and layup strake 3 top and glass outside top of strake 2 and ??? damn i forgot about clifford, he is in the corner makin metal parts and installing them, hey, makr metal parts and install them, the choice is youses remember, i have three guest rooms, spelled adult children that have long ago moved out, fly to metro or flint or troy oakland and i'll pick you up, drive, bus or walk to my home friday night, go to plane day, spend the night saturday and leave on sunday just don't leave home without epoxy cloths enjoy the build dust

hey, thats a great seat back, well done, did i notice a line on there for fiber orientation? great job enjoy the build dust

i've been told that a properly designed and located naca duct gets 99% of ram air preasure with almost no drag enjoy the build dust

Smoking leads to, lighter layups put the last layer of glass on, don't add any epoxy, go have a cigaret and when you come back, the layer will be wet out, as if by magic. enjoy the build dust

OK, it is open season, take your shots enjoy the %$@# Dust, the smoker

i agree, probably will do it this plane day enjoy the build dust

it's eithor my way or the HIGHWAY joe, i am always right. he he he Wellll i have two sets of plans,656 and 591, he he but our second set was 450..00 he he he we still like having an utouched set and a working set. enjoy the build dust

he he he he he, need i say anymore, what is the coolest hobby in the world, building your own high speed cross country bulletttttt enjoy the build dust

I really wouldn't bother, tracing paper works just great and you can make as many copies as you would like. also, most big items spread accros more than 1 sheet and they don't quite match up perfectly, you can "fix" this in the tracing enjoy the build dust

I'm here for canard specific stuff, just there for nonspecific canard info. Engine, avionics electrical, notice mr barber, PC canard not cozy, he he he enjoy the build dust

OK, the air problems are probably the result of too sharp an angle into the depression, don't have to sand and remove all the glass, a quarter sheet sander will quickly remove bad glass, the white stuff realy sands away fast and the good stuff stays, no need to remove the good stuff. are you using mgs, if so switch to all slow cure, so that you have plentyy of time and always dump out all epoxy FAST, thin film extends pot life dramitically. make all transitions very smooth and get some slaves, they are very handy. Always mix resin and hardener together for a minuite or more and then add micro or flox in the container, if using a bagie, put it in after mixing. your bad layup area will probably be cut out in the strake install area or the spar area or the canard area, he he he make the part perfect and then later you cut it out and throw it away, he he he enjoy the build dust

Also, I think the faa is getting closer to making the health requirements for an airplane pilot similar to a car. enjoy the build dust

At a minimum, she can learn and be the emergency pilot. Maybe the other problem will go away. enjoy the build dust

well, most here are really impressed with the cozy, and we all enjoy a velocity owner, cozy builder give his opinion. enjoy the build dust
