Q fuselage
Sammy,
I've been having thoughts of maybe slicing the middle out of a Q200 fuselage and slimming it down to a 1 seater. Didn't Lancair do that with their Lancair IV and add a jet engine? With the Continental 0200 engine pumped up front the aircraft would surely be faster. Much less front plate drag. The hard part would be incorporating the tail section and fairing the top and bottom smoothly. Should be easy to find a kit with a fuselage. Might have to pick up a couple of carbon fiber spares from "Down Under". But then again when it is finished the rest may have moved on already. Just thinking out loud. Maybe in a few years when I retire! Bruce N96BJ ___________________________________________________________________ Try Juno Platinum for Free! Then, only $9.95/month!

Re: Prop selection / Sterba props
French <LJFrench@...>
My 60X70 is a Sterba. They are hand carved and he only does a static balance on them. Probably not a bad buy for the money though. If money was no issue I would probably go for a CNC cut prop.

I have been there several times. Brand new terminal building, two nice runways (slight hump in the one - kind of like Ottawa), staffed on weekends (a big plus when coming home from Sullivan on Sunday's), T hangers usually available, hotels close. I don't know about a big hanger that could house several aircraft. I suppose the town is around 13,000 population and about 45 miles from Lincoln, NE. Commercial flights to Lincoln are sometimes a little pricy, but Omaha has better fares and only 60 more miles away or so. It just so happens that BIE is direct in line between my hometown airport and Sullivan. Oh........... and if you show up to the fly-in after everyone else has left for supper and there is no ride (not that it ever happens to me), you can just walk up the street a ways to the Super 8. However, I think they have 2 courtesy cars. LF If
things do not work out with that, I am looking at an airport in SE Nebraska.

From: "Peter Harris" <peterjfharris@...> : Re: [Q-LIST] Engine mount question After sifting through all the responses I suppose the best fix is also theeasiest. Torque and the P factor are turning the aircraft away from prop rotation. By trimming the elevator or the ailerons we can offset this and the elevator requires only a very small adjustment. By trimming the correct side up we should get a small reduction in drag as well. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I ran across an interesting thing that may be related to this while reverse engineering the Quickie for my CAD drawings. CSA-6 and CSA-7 (the elevator control arms on the Quickie) do not have the same ratio. I checked 2 sets of parts and they were both identical, and since the parts were all punched out by Ken Brock, I'm assuming that all the Quickie kits had the same different ratio (1/16" or about 5%) elevator links. I don't have any idea if this was intended but the result would be that one elevator would deflect just a bit more than the other - tending to off set "P" factor. One might be able to do the same thing with the Q-2/200...... but IIRC they have identical parts right and left due to the center stick. ====================== Leon McAtee

The Field of Dreams Fly-In will remain in the middle of the US, maybe MO, OK, NE, IA, or OK. There truly is a lot of thought that goes into selecting a location for a fly-in like this. For the last 3 years (the years I coordinated the fly-in at Sullivan) the majority of the people have driven to the event. Next are the guys who fly their TW planes in and there area few guys who will fly-in commercially to a major airport. Of course most of us have very busy schedules and it can be hard to get away for 4-5 days to fully take advantage of our fly-in. For this reason I think it is worthwhile to move the event around once in a while. Someone could not justify driving 700 miles to a fly-in, but maybe 400 is doable. I understand that it is difficult and costly to fly a TW plane from CA to MO for a weekend fly-in. Typically the overwhelming majority of TW airplanes come from an adjoining state. Of course there are exceptions, Charlie Johnson, Jim Patillo, and Dave Dugas come to mind. It would probably make little or no difference for me or Sam, or Lynn, or Bruce, or Paul if the fly-in was moved a few hundred miles in any direction. If it moved west a little I do not think it would seriously impact the guys from flying their plane to the event. A few hundred miles east would make it further from the west coast guys, and I do not think that would help increase participation. Close proximity to a large commercial airport is important for the guys who will fly in commercially. It is also important to have lodging and things like that close by the event airport. It should not be inside Class B airspace and it should have a large enough ramp area and hangar space for all the airplanes. Sullivan pretty much fits the bill for everything. A fantastic rural airport that does not charge us anything with 5 hotels within about 1 mile and maybe a little over a one hour drive from St Louis Lambert International Airport. Spud has volunteered to organize the event at Ottawa, KS next year. If things do not work out with that, I am looking at an airport in SE Nebraska. On paper the airport looks good, but I have never been there to take a look. It is not far from Doug or Lynn...either of you guys been to Beatrice, NE (KBIE)? Jeff

Weather is always hard to predict one year ahead of time. The reason this fly-in was moved to the end of September was due to the extreme hot weather in Kansas during the labor day weekend. In the early to mid part of September, Kansas & Missouri are usually affected by the end of the monsoon season coming out of Arizona. Maybe, we could ask Charlie Johnson (One Sky Dog), how to deal with the weather in the Rockies. Charlie usually makes the fly-in from Ogden, UT. Regards, Sam Letempt, Jeffrey MR wrote:

Re: Engine mount question
Peter Harris <peterjfharris@...>
Thanks Leon. I notice something else about the elevator pushrod geometry, although unrelated. The elevators move about 1/8 to1/4" like aelerons and in the same direction. Maybe this adds to the "aeleron steering" effect.
