Jig Table
.....
You will need a table to jig and build the wings and canard. It
should be at least 2 ft by 10 ft. Any larger than 4 ft. by 12 ft. will
just get in the way. Use a little care in making a flat, untwisted
surface. The following is a sketch of the one we made and it works
fine. The box design makes it stiff in torsion. Set it up with the top
35 to 39 inches above the floor. Don't get carried away with surface
finish, since you are going to be gluing blocks to it with Bondo and
chiseling them off several times.
.....
When building the wing and canard, which are nearly 17 ft long,
one can extend the jig table with lumber (2x4's) and Bondo (see
section on Bondo) to provide a platform for the top jigging templates.
MATERIALS
.....
The materials, processes, and terminology used in the
construction of your Q2 are recent to homebuilding. This section is
devoted to familiarizing you with the language, materials, and
techniques used in these plans. This information is basic to the
construction of your airplane. You should study this section and be
sure that you understand all of it before continuing.
.....
There are five basic materials that you will be working with:
fiberg1ass cloth, epoxy, microspheres, flox, and foam. Each material,
its properties, and uses, will be discussed in detail. Basic processes
using these materials will also be discussed.
Fiberglass Cloth
.....
The most basic structural material in your Q2 is glass cloth.
Glass cloth is available commercially in hundreds of different
weights, weaves, strengths, and working properties. The use of glass
in aircraft structures, particularly structural sandwich composites,
is a recent development. Very few of the commercially available glass
cloth types are compatible with aircraft requirements for high
