Many thanks to you too!
-
I can only blame my case of "1st time builder overthinkitous". Lol Last-A-foam it shall be. And many thanks too.
-
Sorry Marc. I'm bored. Lol. I mentioned Last-A-Foam 10 replies ago. Where the heck were you then?! Lol
-
At first i was against the idea of the plywood due to added weight, but I am seriously reconsidering that thought. I think the white foam they were referring to was Clark foam?? If it was, I don't think that's around anymore either. Don't quote me on that though.

ACS gives you the 105/206 with the practice kit. -
Practice Kit - glassing the small wing section
TDubs74 replied to tfulwider's topic in General Construction
How long did it take you to get your practice kit? I ordered mine a week ago and it's still out of stock. I saw a Cozy Girrrl video saying to just dump the mixture out on the part as soon as it's mixed to slow down the reaction. I know the 206 is labeled a slow Gardner but still has a short pot life. Maybe you could try that next time. Anyway thanks for the heads up! -
Ok. Got the breakdown. You can only get it in sheets that are 14.1 sq feet. You only need 6.7 sq ft per the plans. The cost per sheet is $280.17 plus a $55 broken carton fee, due to the fact that there are 50 sheets per carton. SO in short 335.17 for the one sheet. In response to the bulk buy question, that would be the full carton, that even with a discount would be over 12 grand for the purchase. Do not see any sort of ROI there if the only people needing .2 h-250 are the ones building Long Ez's. And at 1 sheet per build, that's a lot of new builds needed. In short it is one expensive piece of foam without shipping so don't forget to factor that in.

I heard back from the national guy, but not the regional sales guy. Sent him another email. I will definitely keep you guys posted.
-
Thanks Kent. I'm just going to have to get down to Rough River to see.
-
So what would be the consensus be on if you are on the larger size of the physical build be? I know in the rv world, the 8 is actually more roomy all around for the front seat occupant. Less cramped on the sidewalk side. Is that true of the long wz vs the cozy, or is the cozy just a better option for comfort even in the solo configuration?

Thanks Jon. I'm clear now. -

Are any of the round blades better than the others? I saw a few choices for round there. I'm guessing the HSS flush trim will be good? -
What is your stance on the the West 105/209 Marc? Strong enough or not recommended?
-
Is anyone on here going to Rough River this year? I want to go to look at a lot, and talk to as many as I can. With this year being what it is, I'm not sure what to expect there.
-
How would you rate the coziness of the MkIV to that of a Cessna 172. I know the seating position is different, and the area under the panel is different, but would you say it's like being in a 172, or smaller even? Curious minds want to know.
-
I'll probably go with Aeropoxy, but am still contemplating MGS, as I hear you use less of it, but not sure how true that is. Not a huge deal. I just figured it was a way to save on shipping and pay less for the product at the same time. Thank you everyone for the input.
-
I actually prefer to. I have no build space at my current location. Plus the space in there will be great. Added bonus is the plane I rent is there, so being able to have quick access to both will be nice. Airport manager is ok with it now, so I don't see a problem going forward, other than heat in the winter. That's workable as well.

You could try emailing Viking Aircraft and see what they say. http://vikingaircraft.com

So, I'm looking at that list and they have N/A for RT cure times for Aeropoxy and MGS. Does that mean that those need a post cure?
-
I have a supplier locally that I can get the West system from. The pricing beats out any of the other choices at ACS. I know West is approved by the designers, but is not a popular choice. Any reasons why West is not worth the savings?
-
How far into your build are you Sir?
-
Temperature was actually my number one concern when thinking about this. It has been to this day. Truth is I may have to take February’s off. It does get cold and has lower than optimal temps for about 7 months out of the year. It’s funny because as I’m outside today in the heat, I thought to myself that I am wasting a good build day. Lol. A heated sub-room is needed. It is a t-hanger and it is possible to make something up. It would be best for me to relocate to a warmer state, but my income is here. Lol. So ideally I will do layups in the “hot box” and rough work in the other area. Was just curious if I needed to make a dust room as well.
-
Probably posted before, but worth a watch if you have not seen it yet!
-
The hanger I am looking at using may have a snag. The airport manager there said he was concerned about dust from the build. My mind just jumped to a cheap and easy solution of just putting up some heavy mill plastic, and making some walls to control the escape of dust. Any better ideas, or success using my idea?
