Canards over Erie
sixfivelrp replied to keikflyer's topic in Introductions, Visits, Sightings & Rides
What’s the worst that could happen? You have two aircraft. 😜 -
If you are trying to make parts from the work instructions just use them as a print. The open eze package has everything needed to build a fine aircraft.

Which of Burt Rutan's canards would you love to build/fly?
sixfivelrp replied to court's topic in Open-EZ
Boomerang! Saw it up close. That is the machine. -
Freight is only worth it if you buy all the materials for the build at once. Ups or fedex should be cheaper for ordering a chapter or two at a time. Order the wood in 8 foot sections and scarf the longerons to get the length you need.
-
A major consideration for building one of these aircraft is the performance vs cost. Prefabricated parts will be expensive. if I’m spending six figures I’d rather have two aircraft to show for it.

Type in H 250 foam availability in the search for the substitution.

Thanks Marc, doesn’t get any easier than that. On inside cosmetics, it still has to be good enough so one doesn’t stay up nights obsessing about it. Lol. Peel ply is my friend.

Here is my dilemma, I had a small slip with the multitool trimming the canard cutout on the fuselage. My issue is if i do the standard repair of one inch per layer, i will end up grinding way out into the good stuff, as this is in the corner where the f22 reinforcement layup is. See pics. Second opinions are appreciated.

I do test stand wiring for a living so I second the idea of removing the old wiring and starting fresh. It will probably take No more time and you will have the piece of mind of a robust electrical system. Not to mention will know every aspect of it while you create the schematic.

Keep checking the lodge, there have been cancelations.

CP 25, page 5. For the spacing. CPs are just as important as the plans. I read and reread prior to every chapter build.

See CP 26 page 3 for confidence in the alternate material and save hassle and money.

Practice Kit - glassing the small wing section

You actually have more control with the vibratory tool then the razor blade. Since it does all the work very little pressure is required. You can use your other hand as a guide to control the depth. As an added bonus, no possibility of slicing the dickens out of yourself. -

Can’t imagine building without this tool! -
On those gear extrusions add press in steel bushings. McMaster Carr # 8491A725. Also i have a cad file of the ones we made if you need it.
