basic spar construction

Dave:
Take a look at the ruttan wings on a q-1 or q2 it will fit the bill for
what you want. There is one site on the web for free downloads of the q2
info but I do not have the URL at hand. Q1 plan can be had on C.D. for less
than $10 via EBay.

Can anyone suggest some home built construction sites where they show the
process of building a spar for a foam composite wing. I'm confused on how
a
spar is built for a foam wing. It doesn't seem like the foam itself
would
provide enough structure to provide a web. It would seem like you'd have
to cut the wing foil, cut out the location of the spar, build the spar,
and
then reinstert that section back into the foam wing.

Thanks,
Dave

after a bit of surfing i found this. Is something like this what you are
talking about?

There is also this on ebay:

Basic question for the Quickie, do the wings disassemble? I'm also looking
for techniques for attaching wings.

Thanks!

Dave for Your info. The Quickie and Q2 use a fiberglass build up spar as You
will see from the plans. The Q-200 uses a carbon fiber spar.
Yes the Quickie canard (front wing) can be removed.

Thanks much! There is a lot of good general construction information in
those plans.

A went through the Q1 and Q2 plans this past weekend. Nowhere in the plans
did I see mention of what weight glass they are using for the unidirectional
and bidirectional glass.

I believe that you'll find that, unless specified, they want you to use
RA7715 for UNI and RA7725 for BID. The 7725 (which I think is basically
the same as 7525) is about 9 oz and has a twill weave for good drape.
The 7715 (which I think is the same as 7515) is about 7 oz.
Thanks, and best regards to all

Thanks. I see you are using the carbon rods too. (in reference to a
previous link: http://www.continuo.com/marske/carbon/carbon.htm)

Bates Engineering has a DOS computer program for designing a wing spar.

I have met him and listen to his forums at Oshkosh many times.

I have never seen a Quickie that had a removeable canard or main wing.
( I built the single place, so I'm certain of that.) I have looked at
hundreds of pictures of other Quickies or seen them in person and have
never seen removeable wings. ( Not to say that someone out there hasn't
done it of course, but it's not in the construction plans ) The
fuselage, however, can disconnect aft of the main wing if you would
like to build it that way. It's approved, but take it from me, it's a
nightmare !! I do believe the main wing of the Dragonfly is
removeable, but I'm not sure of the canard.
