Tad,

I had about the same gap and filled it with epoxy and some real thin
fiberglass cloth.

They do, and it is $85k, goto the website for the Vans QB builders and
they have it listed for purchase. Do not know how you would get it
certified here though.

Brian and Ruth,

If you disregard the canopy and the doors, I might agree with that. But I think the empennage was the hardest for me because I was, and probably still am, a novice so I was learning a lot of new skills that I hadn't ever had. Once I was finished with the empennage I had a lot more confidence and experience.

My question remains unanswered. How many builders would be interested and how much might they pay for an improved canopy with door fitment complete which meets the current FAA 51% rule? Carbon fiber, lighter weight, roll bars included, overhead air plenum, improved hinges, improved locks with fitment and alignment up to 21 century QC standards.

This would like remain predicated on VANS continuing to do the right thing by crediting builders who find the composite components not up to the Builder’s QC standard. We are the builders. I understand that $700 is the customary rebate for those going with a Wholly Cowl.

I see a new war on the horizon.

I would imagine that they could build an almost completed shell, ship it to
you in a container and one would have to unrivet a lot of the work inorder
to get the wiring and systems inplace.

The pictures just go to show how big a business this really is. I
personally am happy for the 51% rule and I am happy I am taking advantage of
it.

Whining because I only put in about 11 hours last weekend.

Is anyone running anything under the pilot and co pilot floors before I
close them up??????

Haven't started on this section, but if things are as bad as people say, I
would be interested in a better part. Price is an issue, but if the new part
is that much improved and does as it claims, the value is realized and worth
it.

The vertical stab faring was almost a quarter of an inch short in its
intersection with the rudder, that was unexceptable for me and I spend
atleast two or more hours increasing its length.

Hi John,

I haven't thought about this much, however, for a considerably lighter graphite canopy thats "almost ready to rivet in place" with an overhead similar to what Accuracy Avionics provides here is where how much I would be willing to part with.

- at 1K to 2K above Vans rebate it would be a great deal and a no brainer for me.
- at 3K to 4K above Vans rebate I would have to think about it. Depends on how much lighter, and how good the fit is.
- at 5K above Vans rebate it would a bit expensive to justify.

John

Van's quick build kits are $4,800 for wings and $6,000 for the fuselage. I gather from what advanced builders say about the fiberglass experience, that a well designed and ready to install cabin cover, with an improved door system should cost near the range of the other Van's Q/B kits. Say $5K for starters. The real draw will probably be the design, plus workmanship and ease of installation. The spinner, cowling and plenum, again nicely crafted and designed with improved air handling intake and oversized easy to open dip stick access should fetch just North of $2K.

How does weight compare for the C/F vs F/G?

Excellent fit and finish that match the quality of the airplanes we are building would be great. Where do I place my order?

So far up to this point I have decided to go slow build on the metal kits (wing and fuse) because I enjoy that part of it. Money is also an issue. However, I have absolutely no experience with fiberglass/carbon fiber so I would definitely be interested. Some of the money I save on the slow build kits could be put into a QB canopy. If you can come up with something PLEASE keep us informed!!!

At the rate I'm building I won't need the parts until about April 2012 anyway so I'll give you plenty of time!!!

I would be interested. I stand firmly behind the word and spirit of the 51% rule. However I love aluminum and hate the glass. I am building a slow build kit (read very very slow) so if I could buy a completed lid and door system that was ready to rivet on I would jump on it and I would still be in the 51%. Same with cowl, pants, fairings... If it could be done to the point of super quality work primed and ready to paint it would be worth the money for me, after all what did I save on the QB aluminum parts?

Niko,

be veeeeeeeeeeery careful to rivet a carbon fiber part onto aluminum with aluminum rivets. Between carbon and aluminum you have a large difference in electrical potential, this will cause severe corrosion of the aluminum part.

So some sort of glass inserts and coverage of the carbon needs to be done to avoid bad surprises or a coating of the aluminum of some kind..

For myself I would be willing to pay a $3-4K premium for a better top with doors and console already fit, final trim to mount. Much more than that I would be hard pressed not to do it myself.

Hello,
My wife and I would be interested in this better fiberglass canopy and cowl. We would like to know how much additional cost there would be, and who manufactures them. We are not nearly at that point yet, but we want to keep infomed. Just finished our empennage

My question remains unanswered. How many builders would be interested and how much might they pay for an improved canopy with door fitment complete which meets the current FAA 51% rule? Carbon fiber, lighter weight, roll bars included, overhead air plenum, improved hinges, improved locks with fitment and alignment up to 21 century QC standards.

This would like remain predicated on VANS continuing to do the right thing by crediting builders who find the composite components not up to the Builder’s QC standard. We are the builders. I understand that $700 is the customary rebate for those going with a Wholly Cowl.

That is because it is not offered through Vans. The level of completion they build it to would not meet the US requirements for 51%, so I only provide this link for informational purposes and you can do with it what you want to....
http://www.bonanzametalcrafters.com/index.htm contact them for a price list and options available.

They do, and it is $85k, goto the website for the Vans QB builders and
they have it listed for purchase. Do not know how you would get it
certified here though.

Dan,


"They" who and to which website are your referring? I see no mention of this $85K on Van's (?) website.

Just thought I would add that I am just finishing my wheel, leg, and intersection fairings for paint. Between install and lining them up and getting them ready for final paint I believe this has been the most time consuming of all the single tasks so far. (as stated previously it is much easier to mount and line them before the engine is hung and the wings are on) So for those who haven’t gotten this far don’t get hug up on the top and doors.

IMHO the Van’s kits are much easier than any of the other kits out there. 30 or 40 hours working on the cover and doors isn’t much. Besides it is good glass experience if you ever need to make a repair.

John



Van's quick build kits are $4,800 for wings and $6,000 for the fuselage. I gather from what advanced builders say about the fiberglass experience, that a well designed and ready to install cabin cover, with an improved door system should cost near the range of the other Van's Q/B kits. Say $5K for starters. The real draw will probably be the design, plus workmanship and ease of installation. The spinner, cowling and plenum, again nicely crafted and designed with improved air handling intake and oversized easy to open dip stick access should fetch just North of $2K.



How does weight compare for the C/F vs F/G?



Excellent fit and finish that match the quality of the airplanes we are building would be great. Where do I place my order?
