  1. is there washout in the cozy wing ? if you order a flat wing will the washout still be there ? what is washout in a wing ? and is it twist ? will i have it in my cozy and how do i check it ? is there other places to look for my answer's ?
  2. could you elaborate ? will that change the water line ?can you see the 3.3 or can it be measured?
  3. i have drilled the top outer bolt hole, and have it snug. i have lifted the wing tip so the water line is dead on the forward LE. i can see a smidgen(3/16") of the wing sticking down past the spar root. i think this is the best i can get it. i will now drill the lower/outer and inner bolt hole. PS. i had to grind out a little glass to get the nut on, any tricks to getting glass back in side the hole ? or will flox do it ?
  4. just set up the wings so i can drill the spar. after setting up a water level it looks like the wing fits the spar fine, but the water is off by 1/2" Wing tip low. if i fix the wing so the water line 17.4 is right then i have the root of the wing a little lower then the spar 1/4". can i build the plane with the wing tips 1/2" low ? or do i fill the strake ?
  5. yes you are so right, trying to cut back on soda as well (on doing so good)and coffee, lynn, you and the boys working on anything over chrisX that i could help on ?
  6. thats funny, but i drink only soda for the rest of my stay here on planet earth. where is page 18 ????????? book one or two all i see is turtal back ch 18 cant find the wings install:mad:
  7. i will be flying down on the 19th and staying till the 4th. and would love to help on someones plane ?????? Garden Grove Ca.
  8. lol, what plane,who said that, and where was he going ? what day is this ?..Lynn, you crack me up, good answer.
  9. you could drop buy your local airport and but an bolts at a good price thud field (puyalup), Spencer avi.
  10. true, but you must abrade the old surface, so the statement is worded a pinch to the unsafe side "The less sanding you do into the top layer of glass the better" so no sanding is best ?....can we say..peel-and-fly a little sanding with 36# over the hole plane is what i think i have read over and over again from are designers but you knew that....he he:D
  11. now that is starting to look very cool ! the edge on the canopy looks rather abrupt to the wind, drag penalty ? or will it be built up some like the cozy ? either way............snarkey(sp)
  12. out side of shiping, its hard to beat acss, i end up paying more around here.
  13. 50 yards 50" for $219.84! shipping included !bid, 4.00 a yard for 50 inch wow
  14. some of us do it with templets and a router, so all the over-spill is cut offa fast clean way to do all the bulk heads. no cutting, no sanding, you do all your fussing with masinit 1/4".
  15. hard shell all the parts? you mite end up with a heavy plane that you wont like to fly, have you ever grabed on to the side of a bulk head and tryed to remove the glass ? you mite find its as easy as peep ply.
  16. we have the same spar ? i remember haveing 3 sides done and it calling for a large 3 layer thick uni layup going inside of the spar...
  17. i did you do the inside lay-up one at a time ? and if you did, how did you get the strands straight on the second and 3rd layer? mine stuck like glue
  18. i did the layups for the gear and will be paying for it with 1/4" of micro on my strakes:mad: o well, to late to try and un-do it nowon the inside big layup (uni times 3 i think) lay out one layer full size, wet then the next layer est. over 4-7 mill plastic, then place foil over the hole mess and cut one inch bigger then the inside span of the main spar. get help or cut in the center, and lay it in the 14' hole (remove the plastic prier to install). after you press and scwiggee it it you can remove the foil or let it stay. some mite say to put peel over the glass then the foil to sponge up the extra epoxy, but i just pull the foil and use my bondo knife and fuss with it till dark..lol start 6 hours befor you think you will start(i did not do it the way i type, but wish i new then what i know now). i was in tears trying to get my uni to shape after pulling it out of shape, the foil should stop that
  19. is there a # for the spring ? i tried the 4" x .35 OD .050 wall,it feels like it needs to be at lest two times stronger ?
  20. have you asked the girls yet ? there seems to be a demand for them www.cozygirrrl.com
  21. one more thing, with the cozygirls strakes or with the mod i did, there will be a saw needed. but dont remove the center! remover the left or right outer side. 15 min and it can be put back(not brick).
  22. i sat with 40 people and 4 used them at much improvement from the props they had been using...but what do they know ! them's pilot types cant be trusted:p
  23. there was one for sale at the fly-in down in June Arizona so there must be some out there
  24. you need to hit save at the very bottom,there is a save above but that would save just the type and not the photodo you have a tweety page or a face plant book:p
