Old Q2/200

Old Q2/200 was created by Caldwell
Long message: I really don't know were to start,The Q2/200 I purchased out of CO. with foam blocks cut to size and a table and all parts for a Q2 -engine. after reading about people that have been flying these birds for 20some years. I almost don't want to write in this forum do to embarrassment.
I to started building a Q2 in 83. Later when the new canard was released I purchased the spars and belly board.
I finished the basic airframe, but shortly there after I lost my engine do to chapter 13 issues with Quickie Aircraft and that took the wind out from under my wings. After moving to less appropiate working conditions,and life in general the Queen sat. So my HQ has been stored for 20some years. But now to my questions.
What epoxies do builders use now?
And since I've aqquired a C85 with a tapered flange,what length of a prop exstintion would be recommended?
I would be interested in a set of engine mounts for the Q200.
I would really like to start up again, just need that kick in the aruss. Reading Sam Hoskins site has been refreshing.

Flying an aeroplane with only a single propeller to keep you in the air. Can you imagine that?

Roger,
Please, there is no need for embarrassment! I am the Editor for the Quickie Builders Association and I'm still intimidated by the guys who've been flying for 20 years! LOL!
I don't think that will really go away until you've finished your Q and get to go out flying in it!
I decided to use Aeropoxy, but again my project isn't flying yet. Hopefully some of the other builders will chime in here with some answers. That way you can have a few more data points.
You might also consider joining the Q-List on Yahoo Groups. That seems to be the most active community for getting your questions answered. groups.yahoo.com/group/Q-LIST/
I'm trying to get people to post more here though. Hopefully this year I can get the two forums linked together. We'll see.
Also, feel free to post WANTED ads in the classified ads. They're free.
Hope this helps, please let me know.
Warm regards,

PS: I've found that you shouldn't spend too much time worrying about where to begin. Just jump right in and do SOMETHING on the project.
It ALL needs to get done, so find something you KNOW how to do and just do it. Then once you have some momentum going you can tackle something you might think is a little trickier.
Remember we're here to support you if you have questions or need answers.
