What is the fuel capacity of the Defiant?

 

56 gal in each tank. also with a four gal sump. What are you using to compare the sizes?

I have original plans and most all pages scanned at this point.

So, John how are things going? Will we have four place twin canard for christmas?

Something Like this?

One page at a time . The photos pages are atrocious, as you can see. It would be better if they were in sepia. The plans I have are not much better b&w. Do you think they are completely necessary? I have some tif that are a little better. However they are 20+ meg.

John,

How about this one? I have a cd with all the prints, just have a pesky FOR REFERENCE ONLY. and NOT FOR BUILDING AIRCRAFT. I have printed these two pages, and they seem to line up with my originals. Soooooo. Would this give the project wings?

Have you considered Polypropylene? From what I gather from your posts you are not going to fly with this. All you would need to do is first make a positive mould of your canopy. Then using a heat gun melt the Polypropylene sheet over it. Finally trim to fit. Hope this helps.

I would to benefit the cause However I see that there are another set of plans available on Ebay. As of 14 Aug 08 it has five days left. the link is:http://cgi.ebay.com/Rutan-Defiant-Aircraft-Plans_W0QQitemZ140257683620QQihZ004QQcategoryZ26441QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I purchased the cd from TERF. The defiant information is just newsletters and advertisements. Not a lot there. If you are building a Defiant. save your money.

Hello all,

This is my first post to this forum. I just picked up a set of defiant plans, and would like to help with the open defiant.
