MAKING YOUR Q2 TRAILERABLE INTRODUCTION
..... In this chapter, you will make your Q2 trailerable and at the same time join the forward and aft fuselage shells together. As stated in Chapter 12, this task should be accomplished prior to mounting the vertical fin in Chapter 14. Also, Chapter 12 contains informa¬tion on joining the forward and aft fuselage shells toqether permanently if you do not desire to make your Q2 trailerable. EXTERIOR LAMINATION
..... Begin by jigging the two shells together and check¬ing for a good fit. Some sanding may be required for a fl ush fit. .....Next, sand the outside skin for 3â on either side of the joint in preparation for the lamination. .....Laminate 2 BID as shown around the area next to the joint. The first ply is 3â wide and the second ply is 1.5â in width. The lamination should be oriented 45 degrees to the joint line, and any overlapping pieces of cloth should have a 1.5â Minimum overlap. Knife trim flush with the joint. INSIDE LAMINATION
..... Then mark the 10 locations for the fasteners. Remove the inside shell skin and core foam as shown at the 10 locations. The taper shown is to allow the next laminations to flow smoothly around the corners. Each location will have an area 1â x 211 on each shell (a total of 2â x 2â) sanded down to the outside shell skin, as shown. Note from the sketches that only the area around each fastener location is affected. If the FS94 bulkhead interferes with the lower 3 locations, slot the FS94 bulkhead as needed, and then replace the materials. ..... A pad of BID is laminated at each location and on each shell. A total of 9 BID approximately 1â x 2â are used. An additional 3 BID overlapping 1" minimum onto the inside shell skin are laminated to tie everything together. It is important to taper all laminations carefully to avoid joints, bumps, joggles, etc. Also, these laminations are oriented 45 degrees to the joint line. |
