Le Forum Avions Piel, consacré aux Pierres Précieuses. Super Emeraude, Beryl, Saphir, CP80 etc

Hi Steve, My name is Roger and I live in the US. I have been building a 750 Beryl for about 3 years now and maybe I can answer some of your questions. There are pictures of my Beryl project in the photo gallery here http://www.avions-piel.com/galerie/thumbnails.php?album=48 I changed the fuse tubing...

I tried to pull a canopy this weekend. It only pull to about 13" tall before it cooled down below forming temperature. There is a picture of the canopy in my photos section. I will try again this week or weekend to pull another shot. I will keep you posted on how it turns out.

I tried last weekend to vacuum form a canopy. The box I built wasn't strong enough and I will build another one that is reinforced with metal. Once I heated the box and acrylic sheet up to 325 degrees I turned the heaters off and the vacuum on. The canopy started to pull a few inches but the vacuum ...

I am taking pictures as I go but so far I haven't made a successful canopy. I will post a couple of picutres today of the heaters and the vacuum "shop vac" that I'm using. I hope to try to vacuum a canopy tomorrow "Saturday". I will keep you guys posted on what happens.

Roger

Thanks, I sent him a pm. Do you know if he speaks any english?

Roger

Where are you buying the bubble canopies for the Beryl like the one on Daniels Beryl? Does someone in France make them, you making your own? Also cowlings for the Beryl.

Thanks,
Roger

Thanks, I wasn't sure what was wrong.

Roger

Why can't I upload any more pictures? I upload them but they never show up.


Roger

I can't upload new photos. I get an error message....

Roger

Hi Laurent.
So far the building is going fast and I'm having lots of fun doing it. There are several things I have been putting off because I don't know the best way to do them. I want to do a slidding canopy but havent decided how to yet. I will keep the pictures coming.

Roger

Thanks Laurent. I will post the pictures I have so far.

Roger

Here is a picture of my progress. How can I add a photo galerie and upload pictures to it?

Roger

Thanks Jean-Claude I'll look at that when I get home.

Roger

I received my plans Monday for the Beryl and have been reviewing them.
Does the Beryl and the Emeraude have washout in the wing I cant see it in the plans? Am I just missing something?

Roger

Sorry guys the plane above is from Brazil.

Laurent are you planning a slidding or tilting canopy for your Beryl?

Roger

Does anyone know any information about this Beryl PP-ZRM. I would like to know more about the tilt open canopy he used. Where did he get it, does he like it....

Roger

Thanks that answers some of my questions. What is the difference between a 750 and 751?

Roger

I am considering ordering the plans for the 750 Beryl. There are very few of them here in the U.S. so I have never seen one in person. I used to own a Super Emeraude and it flew great so I'm interested in the Beryl. How thorough are the plans and how difficult is the spar to build? How airobatic is ...
