tomwang

it is so good.

I can't understand exactly: do you mean that you have built the fuselage's sides and bottom separately (layup per plans?) and then attached them with 4 ply(bid ?)?

tomwang:

 

What are you using for bulkheads? How are you going to attatch your canard? The fuselage is the easy part it is hooking all the flying surfaces in the right place that makes it fly. STeve

the canard havenot been constructed at all.

I wanna the canard be tens of centimeters above the main wing level, so it maybe different from longez's canard design.

thanks all my friends

it is started from the bottom.then the two side walls and the rest

I put 4 ply fibre cloth on the corner(the round between side walls and bottom)

I will look for some big-belly who weights over 100kilos help me to test the strengh .it is very important and must be tested. I also like to get any info about the strengh of longez fuselage. would you help me?

I use sandbag (plastic bag filled with sand which is easy to use and obtain) to shape the foam with one side composite cured and another side composite is curing then I got the shape

yes. I can speak English (not a native speaker).I 'd like to share everything in the construction on this fuselage with you all. but I am not a professional diy so please help me to check is it everything ok

my skype: tomwang2k2

after 1 month work, the fuselage in its shape,

the room is in such a messy. need to be cleaned completed before the fuselage to be processed (primed and sanded etc)

thanks a lot ,my friends!

the gear bow above is for a ultralight of a fan in my province. it is not very strong, as an experiment.

I have build another one for heavy load

the thickness from 40mm-24mm and 10cm wide

span is 170cm

will be shaped

yes , It will be tested in the coming days.

it is hand-made

it is wider and larger than the gear bow I want

1cm thick and it is easy to make it into the shape I want it to be

shape it on big table with the help of some big nail which can fix the aluminum belt

thank you!

I made a landing gear bow with vcauum infusion on a aluminum mold. consume 6300 g fibre glass and 2000 g epoxy resin.

It is 24mm thick , 80mm wide , 2500mm long , big bow! ha

a little soft I think, so it is neccesary to build a nother one someday.

why? I have tried.

main gear bow

hi!

i want to konw what is the cell size and the thickness that you are using for side and for bottom.

is it the cell from dow?

thanks

Thank you Sam

yes, I can see photos on this site.

thanks a lot! I still need help to go ahead.

1. can you tell me your fiberglass cloth specified in the plans and how many plies used in each part of you canard like wing skin, canard skin, spar cap, etc.

2.can anyone help me to design my main wing spar and canard wing spar and caculate the stress and help me to decide which fibreglass will be use in some crutial part construction like the wing spar etc.

thanks!

I fogot to tell you that I wanted to build a canard without special supplier,so I have to calculate and choose almost everything by myself.I ill post foam, landing gear(modifing) ,engine(converting),prop(under construction),etc on individual post.

here, I list all the type of fibreglass I have got.

EKU 1250g/m2 uni

EKB 800g/m2 +-45 degree

EKB 600g/m2 0,90 degree

EKB 450g/m2 +-45 degree

EKQ 1150g/m2 0,90,+45,-45 degree

EKQ 800g/m2 0,90,+45,-45 degree

EKT 1750g/m2 0,90,+45 degree

thank you again for your patient and glad to receive your idea and help.

help!

i choose

saint-gobain 4 axial knitted 1150g/m2 for fuselage skin with 2cm foam

+-45degree 450g/m2 for wing skin
