Re: Q1 Fuselage comes up
Robert Cringely
My engine is 55kg all-up.The titanium parts hardly weigh anything. There are Q1s with 1835 VWs that weigh 75 kg, so I'm not too bothered. Keeping the CG in the right place is a matter of adding weight in the tail. I've converted to a heavier Aviation Products tailwheel with a rod spring for most of that. The lady in Ojai who makes those tailwheels (it's just one lady, all on her own, in her late father's old airplane factory kind of like a flying Miss Havisham from Great Expectations), she'll sell me the correct spring to dial it in when I finish carving my prop, which I should have done long ago, but it's my first three-blader and pretty daunting. There's a reason why only Craig Catto carves three-bladed wood props.
