Some of the Q-1’s were modified to larger wheels and it makes them operable
on grass which is a good thing in tail draggers. The tire scrubber brakes
are a joke. I always said that they give you something to do while you’re
waiting for the plane to slow down. I would definitely upgrade your plane
to bigger wheels with real brakes.

Dear Quickheads,
I'm finishing up a mostly-complete Q1 project (actually Marc Zeitlin is doing most of the work) and am interested in the group's opinions on the suitability of the Q1 plans brake system. It seems a bit dubious, but does it tend to work well enough in practice? Has anyone fitted a hydraulic system or any other variant? Do larger wheels ever make sense? Thanks!
