That would keep some folks from getting the same exact message twice. After a few "Re"s, it gets kinda confusing! You probably get my drift here. Sorry...I'm just a MALcontent.

But, > Mark, please tell us what you think. You really have me curious now. Which > canopy design do you prefer? Whoooops. There's that can o' worms! I'm kinda like you, there are a lot of good ones. For a while I was enamored with the sliding canopy that we saw on Perry's "Area 51" plane (shown about half way down at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/k97gathr.html ), but it's pretty ugly when it's open, and I'm sure there are other compromises such as adequate sealing when closed. The forward hinging thing works just fine too, but is a little spindly in my case, and others with the four-bar mechanism appear to be even worse. John's "wide-track" design fixes that aspect though. Forward hinging also requires latches on both sides, which basically means about four of them. Side hinging per the plans has apparently worked fine for years and offers the benefit of only needing latches on one side (assuming the hinge is strong enough). I can't put my finger on exactly why I never even considered it, but I haven't. Maybe it's the poor-looking implementations I've seen that leave a straight hinge protruding out of the curved top longeron. Or maybe it's just that it came in the plans with that hemispherical canopy fastened to it! Right now I'm thinking that the gullwing is the ticket, with pilot's side opening and the other fixed. This offers the best combination of safety (built in, permanent rollbar and increased structural integrity), weathertightness (one short continuous gasket), and aerodynamics (no joint presented at the high pressure area at forward base). Entry/egress is good because you've got something to hang onto. A lot of guys are flat-wrapping the front windshield, but at high speeds it can bend inwards an amazing amount, so make sure it has a good curve to it or you'll have to add extra support down the middle to reinforce it. Both Troy ( http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/ktroyp.html ) and Bobby Muse ( http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/kbobbym.html ), and several others have some beautiful examples. Personally, I'd take a Dragonfly canopy and build the rollbar and gullwing door frame into it, then cut it all apart and have a perfectly fitted assembly. Dragonfly canopies are expensive, but it's hard to beat the looks or aerodynamics, and the front has a complex curve that's very strong when facing impinging high-speed air. The downside is that if it's permanently fastened, working on the backside of the panel would be tough, so I'd still make the whole thing easily detachable like mine is now for access to all systems behind the firewall, but there goes the structure integrity thing. You'll have to take all of this with a grain of salt, since I've only climbed in and out of these things, not actually lived with them for years like some of you guys. Other comments or points of view are certainly welcome...

Both Langford's and Jones' engines are much tighter to the firewall, but John's shows quite a bit of daylight between firewall and engine.

He has a beautiful installation though! As far as daylight between the engine and firewall, note he has a front mount starter which moves the CG forward and has retained the stock oil filter and cooler. Both Mark L and I have remote oil filter and cooler and rear starter set up. We have a lot of room taken up behind the engine with the alternator pulley and flywheel and starter. I am not sure John's engine is much farther from the firewall than ours or not it is hard to tell without a measurement. The rear edge of my mechanical fuel pump is 1 5/8" from the firewall and John's sure does look farther away than that. You have a good question and I hope John will inform us on his CG and W&B. Now it's back to the shop to continue working on the rear turtle deck. Oh yea, sanding foam sure is easy when you use the polyurethane compared to the blue polystyrene like I did my tail feathers with!!!

Yes, it does get cold in South Carolina. We had the passenger side of the canopy all jigged up and could not glass it up because of the temperature. Then Jerry decided to bring over his heat lamps and give them a try. Well, passenger side DONE. That AeroPoxy cures in 4 hours under the light. Amazing.... I love AeroPoxy. Thanks Jerry...

I just got home and cranked up my 85,000 BTU heater to warm up my garage so I can go out and sand some more on my turtle deck. Thank God I insulated my garage this past fall. I still am wondering if I will be able to do any glassing though. My heater will get the garage up to 70 degrees pretty quick but when I turn it off, the temp falls fairly quick. A little boost of heater about every thirty minutes keeps the temp up. Might just give glassing a try this weekend.

Message-ID: <003401c191a3$43a66680$b3b2e50c@dondlinger1> I have been working a lot of hours lately... I don't know who said it only took a few hours to raise the rear spar, but they must have meant moving the rear spar only. My wing stubs were complete and it took days to strip all the fiber glass and epoxy etc. without destoying the spars. The hardest part of course is the wing to body fairing.Next would be the spars themselves. Stripping the glue off and keeping the spars flat. I have them all clean and one side loose. So soon I will be able to finally move that spar. Yahooooooo Mark it must have been you. You seem to work much faster than me. I guess I should spend less time looking and more time doing. Actually I really want to thank You and Dave Mullins for the Help. Dave I never did get the Turbo Cad to print correctly. I think it is due to the 2D shareware version I downloaded. The driver must not be compatable. So I used Marks coordinates and your files. I had to transfer them into CATIA and plot from there. I am now going to raise the rear spar 5/8" and laminate a shim on the front spar. I will keep you posted. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 21:04:28 -0600 To: From: "Mark Langford" Subject: Re: Moving the rear Spar...

That was Dana, and "rear spar only" is exactly what he did, since his stub wings and fairings weren't done yet (see http://www.geocities.com/capecanaveral/hangar/7085/ ) . Maybe someday he'll get off that DEAD BUTT and finish that plane! Oops, that might be a double edged sword, come to think of it. But I did my part today... I spent it bolting the same piston/cylinder/rod/bearing/shim combination to all six cylinder locations on the Vair and measuring deck height each time, getting a variance of .007" between them.. Then I bolted them ALL to the SAME location and measured again.. The spread was only .002". Oh, this is gonna hurt my brain now! Obviously, I'm going for the record on time spent building ONE airplane engine. And I wonder why I'm not flying yet...
