Accident report N1711Q
Doug Humble <hawkidoug@...>
It has been brought to my attention that a Q200 owned by Harry Scarfe had an accident in the last few days. The FAA report indicates the aircraft hit a PAPI light and flipped over resulting in injuries but no fatalities. The aircraft had substantial damage. Harry is from St. Helena Is. SC.
Anyone one else have more info.? Doug "Hawkeye" Humble www.asignabove.net Omaha NE N25974

Bruce,
I am using a modified Whiteside antenna (Q-Talk #42 P.4). I checked it with a VSWR meter and made some change to the balum but did not keep any notes, darn. Were you thinking of the transponter antenna that I purchased? I did not test that but it is working great. Paul Spackman --- In Q-LIST@..., "jcrain2@j..." <jcrain2@j...> wrote: (for comm).

We have been over this ground before and it kind of resulted in forming a second group "Q-performance" to hash out modifications like this. I'm of the camp that believes there is room for improvement in this area, but do agree with most of the others here that if you want to fly something like a Q in a reasonable amount of time stick to the plans and other proven modifications. Ask your question again on the Q-performance board and I think you will get some feed back. ======================= Leon McAtee Building something like a Q-1

Dave, that is just great. I'm so glad all was successful.
You did it all the right way. You gathered information, you sought qualified advice, you developed a solid plan and you executed it. I welcome another Quickie role model. Fly a lot. Then when you get 300 hours on it, you can switch from the Revmaster to the O-200! Sam Hoskins Murphysboro, IL www.samhoskins.blogspot.com

Yesterday around sunset I touched down in my Tri-Q2 after an hour and a
half of stability and climb/glide data collection at gross weight and my total flight hours are 40.3. I am finally ready to sign off the logbook for the completion of the FAA phase one restrictions. I have nothing but the deepest admiration and respect for those who have contributed so much to help make this not only possible but safe and successful. I will always be in your debt. Thank you.

The difficulty of high-lift devices for tandem wing aircraft (long)
slottedflaps <quinnj@...>
Good evening Quickie group,
I'm a third year mechanical engineering student who wants a corvair powered Q2 but I'm unwilling to fly an aircraft that lands at 90mph with a passenger. The comments I've read regarding high landing speeds of these aircraft relate to loss of elevator effectiveness and / or canard stall on final approach, the only remedy being to add a few units to the target landing speed. Q200s appear to have a CG change over the original 2100D powered version, and my experimentation with free flight tandem wing models showed an increase in minimum speed with forward CG. In a nutshell, I'm pondering a mechanism for the LS1 canard which would produce a fowler flap action for the elevators with a slot to recharge the boundary layer at the corner produced by a downward deflected elevator. So I've been looking through reports of deep stall vs. center of pressure relative to CG; it goes without saying that adding lift to the front wing only will disturb the safe stalling characteristics of the original design. However, the stall of the rear wing appears to be AOA dependent, and a slotted flap on the front wing might achieve its max. lift at a similar AOA as the plain flap original. The belly board could be integrated with the fowler flaps to move in the same motion. Anyhow, the Q2 seems to be a very fast aircraft with 100ish HP and an efficient cruise prop, but the landing speed is a seriously high price of admission to most people, myself included. I don't want to impact the ground at 80mph if I have an engine failure. My plans are to build a 1/3 scale Q2 and experiment with a scale LS1 canard and fowler type flaps, and find where the CG needs to be to be safe. Getting enough down elevator could be be a challenge though. Anyhow, nice to meet you, I'd buy Henry Hurd's project if I was out of school. :) -Jeff Quinn

Re: Mazda single rtr was - rudder trim
JohntenHave <Jtenhave@...>
Mark,
There is one under active development here in Sydney. It is at the stage of being driven around in an RX7 presently and seems to run like a clock. We have been asked to manufacture the custom end housings for the prototypes so there will be more to report later. The engine is one thing, the PSRU is quite another. The required airframe mods yet another. My suggestion? Building these things and getting them flying is hard enough without adding additional degrees of difficulty and increasing your risks of multiple engine failures (and they will happen) to the test flying program. Stick with the simplest possible most proven configuration and get it flying. Then modify from a known base. If you have an Onan get it flying with that. Also remember that C of G is a really big deal 0.75" total range of travel! Add weight up the front and the back end will have to change. Leon is right on the money when he asks about weight. Remember it is the weight of everything engine, mount, psru propeller, baffling, radiator, hoses, battery, new cowlings, fuselage reinforcements etc. Keep it simple if you want to fly. If you do not, modify away to your heart's content - it will keep you grounded for years - guarenteed. Second thought : fix or improve something after you know it is either broken or inferior. Fixing things that ain't broke is just plain dumb. Don't confuse activity with progress. Third thought: be crystal clear about what it is that you wish to achieve with this modification effort - is there an alternative means of achieving it? Regards John --- In Q-LIST@..., "Leon - C" <leon@c...> wrote: be interested in the quoted weight from Atkins. I have a 13B in myshop that I've been thinking about converting but I just don't see how toget the weight down enough to use in a Q-1 without resorting to home brewaluminum parts.
