Hangar Flying / Start of my dumb questions
« on: April 25, 2012, 08:21:14 PM »
I acquired a partial build Long Ez project. The wings are bult to the point of cutting ailerons and adding winglets, the canard is built and the fuse looks like a stubby canoe ready for a nose, center spar and strakes. Overall the work that was done seems pretty good quality but thats based on my untrained eye. I did have the local Canard owner take a look as well and he agreed that the work looked good. I do have a couple questions for the group;
Are there any types of non destructive testing I can do on the work that has been done to ensure it is airworthy. I did learn a little about the "tap" test in my repairman school but wanted your thoughts.
Can you tell the type of epoxy used by the cured color of the parts?
Is there a problem using different epoxy with already cured parts?
What are the Epoxy recomendations now compared to what was used years ago?
Regards
Eric
