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 information on
joining the forward and aft fuselage shells together permanently if you
do not desire to make your Q2 trailerable.
EXTERIOR LAMINATION
.....
Begin by jigging the two shells together and checking for a good
fit. Some sanding may be required for a flush fit.
.....
Next, sand the outside skin for 3” 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 3” wide and the second ply is 1.5” in width. The lamination
should be oriented 45 degrees to the joint line, and any overlapping
pieces of cloth should have a 1.5” Minimum overlap. Knife trim flush
with the joint.
