Hi All, I have been bitten by the Canard bug. Went to Oshkosh 2019. Have refitted large sailboats so I am good with glass and long time-span engineering projects. I am not a shoestring budget but I am as much interested in the scratch build as flying. I see that many endeavors never succeed so a 40K kit is out of the question for me. I have a 5'x10'x 9" CNC machine. I am good at SOLIDWORKS (Thanks in part to EAA). I also love Diesel engines. I want to design a project that checks these boxes. So my questions at the moment: It seems that most canard kits/ are molded over foam blocks (male). Would a 5'x10'x9" CNC envelope be sufficient to carve the male plugs of a Cozy IV or Long EZ? Is there a SOLIDWORKS or other 3D CAD plan set on the market that would save me from the potential errors of converting 2D plans into 3d plans? I am excited for the Wisconsin Built. Deltahawk 2 stroke Diesel! Does anyone have an idea if this will be a relative "bolt on" to a particular Long EZ variant or other Canard (Velosity kits and V-twin is out of my league but appear to be proven)? How would one verify the use of a Daltahawk engine in say a Long EZ if they were not an engineer in the field? Would it add huge expense to verify the configuration with professionals? Are there documented examples known to this community? I have been reading this forum for months, its got a much better vibe than almost forum on the internet. Great job pitching in and moderating! Thank you, David -
There's a new service available to manufacture CNC parts. You can download a freeware simple CAD tool, draw what you want, order it, and receive it in a few days. Check it out... http://www.draw2cnc.com/ There's sample pictures there of ruggedized enclosures for electronics, brackets, and other products made with this service.
