Rutan Aircraft Factory CDROM (TERF)
« on: January 08, 2009, 03:36:19 PM »
Hello - I am attempting to acquire documentation re. the Rutan Long-eze. Recently, I queried dragonaero and asked if the TERF CD included dimensions/lofting coordinates for the Roncz R1145MS canard, high performnance rudders and hidden bellhorn. The answer I received simply said that they have sold many TERF CD's and have never received a complaint - vague answer to a direct question.  Does anyone know if the dimensions/coordinates needed to build and install these parts is reflected on the TERF CD. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

The Terf CD has a lot of stuff on it including:
-Defiant Manual
-Longez Plans and Manual
--High performance Rudders
--Internal Belhorns
--Special Performance Canard
-Moldless Composite Construction book
-Solitare Plans and Manual
-Varieze Plans and Manual
-Variviggen Plans and Manual
-All of the Canard Pusher Newsletters

For the most part, the big templates are not part of this set.  However, I think everything you need for the special perf canard is there but on a PDF---and there may be scaling issues.  I think that Canardzone.com has the templates posted.  For building, you need both the plans and the templates---so you really need the CD regardless.
