Man, wish I knew this before we made vacation plans North.....

Where is this bounty located?

You don't need a fancy metal cutting blade for aluminum. a standard carbide tipped blade, I've cut 3/4" sheet in one of two ways. both with stick beeswax on the blade. one shop turned the blade backwards and cut sheet for tool and die use every day. the next place only cut aluminum occasionally and left the blade in normal.

Florida International Air Show October 19 - 21, 2018 Would be great to see a large gathering of Canards and the weather in October is pretty decent.

Thanks, that's the exact input I was looking for. The aerocad.com website looks modern and updated, but looks like there is a real lack of support behind the product. Are they OK for landing gear and canopies and stuff?

Yeah

The last post in this forum was 2015 and it was mentioned that there were serious enough issues that you would need Cozy plans so you had the right info. Have these issues been addressed? Is the AeroCanard using more advanced fibers for strength and durability? TiA JOhn ><>

Thanks Thanks

Talking with a guy on another forum and he uses Pro Set LAM-125 Low Viscosity Laminating Resin Pro Set LAM-229 Slow Laminating Hardener Seems like it can be had for around $90 +/- per gallon. Any opinions on this stuff? BTW] How many gallons for building a LongEZ or Cozy Mk IV?

And $$$

Absolutely I would really like to see what you are up to. Which model are you building? John

My apologies, for my ignorance. I have two or more flaws to my thinking. One, I come from the marine environment and have little or no knowledge of aircraft construction, building techniques and terminology. Two, I am so used to purchasing products in the marine business wholesale and hate the thought of spending retail cash. on the plus side, I can still learn and I can follow directions. I have built several boats, fiberglass and wood using a variety of resins and composites and construction techniques. Have hand formed several plugs for mold construction. Please bear with me while I learn and grow in this field.
