Hi Mick, I didn't realise you are Northamptonshire; which Tri-Q do you have?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Please heed the advice re: runway length for first flights. Mine Q and several others are at Enstone which is not far from you and more than 2000yards. Most of the time you don't need that much, but sometimes you do. Call me on 01367 820231 if you want to talk.... Regards Chris Rayner (Q-200) From: Q-LIST@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Q-LIST@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mick Davies Sent: 20 May 2010 22:01 To: Q-LIST@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Q-LIST] "Old" new guy-lurker Many thanks guys. I am in Northamptonshire, England. It would be great to get some experience first but there are so few Tri Qs here. The runway is 800m (2660') long concrete. Having flown a Long EZ (which was heavier but had O-235 108hp engine) it seemed to get airborne about 60kts. I got to 65kts with 400m used and it didn't seem to want to fly but I guess I chickened too early! The prop is quite coarse at 58x68. Mick

On take off with just myself, no extra fuel,bagage or a passenger I would reflex the ailerons up 1/8 to 1/4 inch. The elevator trim to neutral and hold slight forward pressure on the stick until 85 mph. At 85 start releasing forward pressure and give it back pressure and allow it to fly off. Once at pattern alt adjust trim as necessary. Each plane is different due to builder adjustments and mods so-----Y'al be careful out there ya hear.

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "conlin michael" <conlin_m@yahoo.com <mailto:conlin_m%40yahoo.com> > To: <Q-LIST@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Q-LIST%40yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 10:03 PM Subject: [Q-LIST] "Old" new guy-lurker Hi there, I'm one of the "early" Q guys, having built/flown a QuickieQ1 in 1979. I later rebuilt/converted a wrecked Q2 into a Tri-Q C85, then co-owned a Q200 for several years. I don't fly anymore, but have some Q parts that I would like to sell. a partial listing would be a complete/running/flown Onan 18 with the "20 hp" heads, spare heads/parts for another Onan, a prop hub for same, prop, many different belcrank weldments, reflexor, etc, all used of course (none of which ever got higher than 10,000 feet). I also have 3 cowlings, one O-200, one revmaster, and one that was used with a C85. also -O-200 magneto, was tagged, but lost the tag also elt, Narco com120, xpndr, a propellor duplicator, with a solid maple blank for Q200, epoxy pump, etc, a lot of "stuff". Let me know what you need, I may have it. Mike ------------------------------------ Quickie Builders Association WEB site http://www.quickiebuilders.org Yahoo!
