Yes, I thought you were referring to the templates. However the dimensions that are required from the standpoint that I am proposing are obtainable from the TERF CD-ROM.
Quote: “…do not match in any respect the Cozy's M drawings. The dimensions are all different, correct?”
No. The Butt Lines are different. The Fuselage Stations & and Water Lines are for the most part identical. Let’s take for example the position of the canard. This scenario applies to the Long-ez, Cozy, Cozy MK-IV and AeroCanard:
The canard NC-CLT lift tabs are bolted to the F-22 bulkhead located at FS 21.90 (aft datum point.) The bolthole centerline is at WL 17.875. The canard leading edge is at FS 18.6443 and the canard is installed with a positive 4.6721-degree incidence. The Long-ez bolts are drilled at BL 8 & the Cozy is at BL 15. Both of these dimensions are obtainable from plans section I.
Quote: “Purchasing cores and spar from Aerocad eliminates A9 through A14, but does nothing for you when it comes to A1-A8.”
A1 thru A4 are bulkhead templates. A5 depicts the gear attach brackets. A6 thru A8 is a sectional from the nose to the control stick.
Quote: “You need those drawings, don't you?”
I think you got me. You might have to purchase your bulkheads pre-fab.
Seriously however, I think you’ve convinced me that I wouldn’t be willing to build a Long-ez without the A drawings as a reference. I’m not convinced that you couldn’t build a Long-ez per plans without the A size drawings, I just wouldn’t want to be without them for reference.
