Hi Mick,

I can only answer some of your questions since I fly a Tri-Q2. Trim should be neutral (you didn't say if you have reflexor or T-tail, but if T-tail, it should be horizontal) for take-off. If reflexor, maybe the reflexor guys can chime in. Stick should be neutral as well for take-off and when you hit 70-75 MPH you can pull back a bit on the stick to ease her off the runway. I found I have to pick my Tri-Q2 off the runway and it won't leave until I hit about 80 MPH. Be ready with rudder in puts as soon as you lift off. Mine tries to go left a bit as soon as I lift off. My take off roll is about 1500' and is mostly due to the Tri-Q2's unwillingness to fly until I hit that magic 80 MPH. My taildragger Q2 used to levitate off the runway at 75 MPH, but this is definitely different with the Tri-Q2. Good luck with your taxi tests. I would keep speeds low until you feel comfortable with your airplane. A long runway (5000'+) is a definite asset. Rene Q2 C-GTCA

That being said, I don't think I would hold "full aft stick" for taxi runs or first flights. You might get a surprise. (if you were flying a "normal" plane, would you take off at full aft stick?) Mike just about to fly a Tri Q200. 58x68 prop. What should the static rpm be? What take off roll distance should I expect? Should I hold the stick fully back or only partially for take off? What trim settings should I use? regards Mick Davies [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
