I bought the ratio pump from Velocity and have been very happy with it. It makes mixing odd ratio epoxy very easy. The EZpoxy that comes with the Velocity kit gets mixed in a 100:44 ratio. It would be a pain to use a scale to measure this since in the course of building I will go through many gallons of EZpoxy. The Velocity also comes with another epoxy that is mixed in a 2:1 ratio. I use a scale for this and it is fairly easy to get that ratio right, but even that simple ratio takes longer using a scale. The pump is expensive, and I understand people not wanting to lay out $250 to simplify a task that can be done with a $20 scale... but the ratio pump works great and saves a lot of time. Just as any other high priced tool, you can spend time working without the tool, but it costs you time...how much is your time worth?

Thanks, that was what I was looking for. I knew there had to be some...nuance of landing that would be different. Jack

I am thinking about building a canard aircraft and have a question about landing with the prop back there. Do canard pilots think about the prop being really close to the ground on touch-down? From the pictures of different canards I've seen landing, it seems the prop is only inches off the ground...meaning any slightly nose high approach could be disasterous. Could someone that flies canards a lot speak to that? Jack
