Can a Q2, Quickie, TriQ fit into a 24' Budget rental truck that has an internal width of 7' 5" and a height of 7' 5"? Does anyone have a source or supply of...
I think it will be a close, but no joy. If the aircraft comes apart at the fuselage split line, you would still have to remove everything from the firewall....
Finally decided to install a manifold pressure gauge that I bought a few months ago and now I have a question. Where should I tap into the intake system to...
Jeff you only have to plug into one side, especially with the crossover. What would you use the gage for. My Dfly had the MF press hooked up , because it...
I have a Dragonfly Mark 2, that is about 85% complete that I would like to sell. Fuselage complete, wing and canard 99% complete, ailerons, elevators and...
Paul Zimmerman, How much are you asking for your project and where are you located. I have a friend who may be interested in the whole package. Otha [Non-text...

Yes engine cowling two piece. I have the top piece that could probably be fixed but would buy both if you have them. [Non-text portions of this message have...
I have both, unused from a project I picked up. I'll send you some pics. Make me an offer. I'll send pics tomorrow. Dave ... From: Samuel Miller To:...
hi all just thinking how would some one go building the canard and wing out of fibreglass and carbon fibre and last-a-foam using the wings for fuel tanks mk11...
To All, I have an unused cowling, both top and bottom. More DF parts available on a spread sheet. Rene Oceanside, CA 760-758-6959 ... [Non-text portions of...

Fuel management and keeping the thing in CG would be very complicated. Why do you need so much fuel? With a decent size header tank you should be able to stay...
IMHO Sounds like a pretty involved redesign effort. It seems like we as a community have enough trouble getting new standatd Dflys in the air, much less...
Other than the obvious engineering difficulties, Fuel in the wing is a no-no. It is not because of materials or strength, it is because of CG. Weight on the...
Drip a few drops of fuel onto the foam and see what happens. There's at least one story of a builder putting fuel tanks in the wings only to have the foam...
How can a person find the CG of a DF without an engineering degree? I am building one and do not want to cause myself any trouble. I plan on putting in two...
Look in the files section for the weight and balance spreadsheet that I created a few years ago. You can play around with weights and moments and see what...
Listen to Jeff. If you don't know how to calculate the CG and you want to put 2 fuel tanks behind the seats, you can expect that to take easily another 500...
I don't understand why you would want to carry more fuel. You should have at least three hours of fuel with a VW powerplant. I don't know anybody who would...
Thank you all for your responses. I just came back from the hanger and I am more confused than before. Do anybody have photos of the build process than they...
The fuel tank instructions begin on page 8 of chapter 2 of the construction manual. Pretty sure you will be the first person to ever fly a Dragonfly with an ...
The fuel tank should have been one of the first things put in when the fuselage sides were mated with the bottom. You really can't do the sides until the tank...
From what I can see, it is not installed. I can build a tank and install it if I know where it goes. I do not want to mess with the CG. I do not have a...
You really need to buy a set of the full plans. The difference is that if you use 1/2 instead of 3/4 inch sheetrock in your house, it's not going to kill you....
It would be impossible to safely build a Dragonfly without the construction manual and errata sheet changes posted. According to a quick search the EA-71...
