The rear upper fuselage/ vertical tail molds are finished and we are presently preparing to lay up the actual carbon/ honeycomb airframe parts. These two...
Hey Dave, The LP1's looking great! I'm curious. What ECU are you using for the LS1? Stock or something like an Electromotive EFI/Spark controller? -Evan...
Evan, Thanks. I'm using the stock GM LS1 ECU, but reprogrammed to remove a lot (!) of components that aren't used, for example, all transmission functions,...
I added some pics of the rear upper fuselage, one of the inner vertical spar detail, and the others of the thing sort of (Taped) installed on the cockpit....
Hey Dave, The plane's coming along nicely. With the tail on now I can get a feel for the smooth lines. I noticed you're using a few silicon hoses in your...
Evan, Hey again. I have been using silicon hose from Earl's, they had some 90 degree hoses in stock, but mainly water hoses in smaller diameters. My approach...
I was wondering where the antennae (sp?) will be located? I am under the impression that the carbon fiber is too reflective to place anything inside. I am...
At the front top of the recently finished fuselage side, there is a Kevlar panel, this is for the GPS antannae to pass through, you can see it on one of the...
I updated the website with new pics of the rear fuse parts, plus some others as well. Am starting to work on the lower rear fuse now, hopefully this will go...
... algiecompositeaircraft@yahoogroups.com, "algiecompositeaircraft" ... now, ... Looks great. Building the interior frame you described sounds like quite a...
I originally got the bug to do this in 1993, and did mostly concept and design work for a couple of years. A lot of that was learning to draw in 3D CAD as...
If I came out to help, maybe it could be a full time effort (at least for me.) Also, I'd like you to consider adding a refrigerant compressor on one of the ...
Actually, I forgot to add, this plane has very little so called frames or stiffening structures in it. The one pic of the vertical tail spar, this, and the...
This project is based in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have considered an air conditioner for this thing, I like it, I'm not very excited about the weight and extra...
I don't have any questions. I found your web-site and was quite impressed. If you can achieve or get close to the estimated cruise speed and fuel efficiancy...
Thanks, I hope the numbers prove out too. Closer weight assessments lately have dropped the gross down quite a bit, this has helped all the performance figures...
Work has been progressing on the lower rear fuselage. The buck, or wood plug, is the focus right now for that. Considerable attention has been paid to the...
I actually have never calculated max speed at sea level, the lift at this low altitude is so high (In dense air) that you have to use maybe negative 3 degrees...
No, it's not just you, I can't get in either, I'll find out. Thanks, David Algie Algie Composite Aircraft http://members.iquest.net/~aca/ ... From: masofshad ...
Sorry, the website went over it's alotted usage for the month, new month, back up now. David Algie Algie Composite Aircraft http://members.iquest.net/~aca/ ......
It doesen't look like much, but I added a pic of the lower rear fuselage buck under construction. You can see the rear wing fillets tapering down on the upper...
