Re: Inspector and Instructor for Q-2
Phil,
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Q. If you are picking up Jerry's "Q" in 15 days, what have you done to get yourself ready to fly this Q taildragger and understand the planes ideosycracies? If the answer is nothing then the results will be predictable. This is not a difficult plane to fly but without systems understanding and a proper check out for yourself and the plane, it might as well be a 727. If you are a current high time, complex, multi-engine, instrument rated pilot, I would still say the same. Just ask Geoff Rutledge or Phil Lankford or Ron Weise or Kevin Bodiker or David Hyatt or Larry Severson. They can clear up any mis understandings you may have. Its good that you are casting about for help. Thats a start! Try to find someone in your area right away and get up to speed. How far from Boston are you? Dave Dugas is in Boston and has a sweet flying Q taildragger, maybe he can offer some input. If you don't feel comfortable, trailer it! May not be as cool as flying it into your home airport but it will get there in one piece.

I will be flying itback to Vermont in anycase.

Inspector and Instructor for Q-2
philmarshall05640 <phil@...>
I am buying a Q-2 from Jerry Kennedy in Sioux Falls, SD. I am flying
out to get it Sept 20th. Is there anyone on the list who can vouch for Jerry's Q-2 or could come and inspect it for me? I will also need to get at least 5 hours of dual with an instructor with time in a Quickie because the insurance company insists (and it's a good idea). I'm willing to fly with Jerry to get comfortable with it and fly somewhere to get instruction. I hope to go to the fly-in on the 23rd, but the weather may prevent it. I will be flying it back to Vermont in anycase. Phil Marshall, 450 hours (SEL & glider) Kitfox N1585F and (soon) Q-2 N214FK Adamant, VT phil@...

Re: Crashed Tri-Q
Larry Severson
A hard left roll tendancy is normal for a firstActually, I didn't know it, but it took a simple right aileron input to level the plane. Once the left elevator is trimedI did put in a roll trim system based at what I saw at a Livermore gathering. It leveled the wing easily. I left it in for the second flight which saw no roll to the left. I later found out that with one 190 lb pilot the elevator roll system needs about 5/8ths in trim. With 2 bodies, no roll trim needed. By the way, I have never flown a plane as easy and smooth as mine has shown to be in my first 2 flights.

Re: Crashed Tri-Q
Chris,
I'm sorry to hear about your accident and glad you didn't become another smoking hole in the ground. Its kind of interesting you're only a couple of hours away from Livermore, CA where there's more collective Q knowledge than anywhere. Yet you never identified yourself or ever showed up at one of our events. Had you reached out you could have avoided these stupid mistakes. A hard left roll tendancy is normal for a first flight and everone here knows it. Once the left elevator is trimed the issue is resolved. Further how does one accidently lift off? I've never been able to get my arms around that one! If you and your plane weren't prepared for flight you should have never left the ground. Unfortunately these kinds of accidents continue giving our planes a bad reputation it does not deserve. Its because of individuals like you that this airplane is considered "hard to fly and control", which is rediculous. I have about 800 hours on my Q200 which is a lot more plane to fly than a revemaster tricycle gear Q and have never even had it sideways on the runway. I am not an aviation wizard or an exceptional pilot but have tried to use comon sense when needed which usually works.

Crashed Tri-Q
yellow_tri <chrisdolly@...>
N33LQ (Tri-Q) was wrecked beyond repair on 8/29. Mechanical parts
and elevators and ailerons are okay, they are available for sale. Revmaster engine, approximately 500 hours; new pistons, cylinders, rings about 10 hours. Revmaster carb, belt driven air pump. Ran perfect, started easily. Main gear, tires (new), wheels, disc brakes with new rotors and pads, all farings and wheel pants. Entire instrument panel: Softcom intercom, VAL com 760 TSO, Narco AT150 TSO transponder w/altitude encoder, fuel gauge, EGT/CHT combo gauge, ammeter, oil pressure, oil temp, compass, Attitude Indicator (art horiz), VG, Air speed (to 200), altimeter, Vertical Speed, tachometer, and Hobbs with 233 hours. Open to offers. Chalk the wreck up to inexperience with these types of aircraft. I had never flown one of these, nobody here at my airport (Grants Pass, OR) had either. I had never flown a wrist action joystick. I had made about 2 dozen fast taxi's down the runway (accidentally lifted off at 65 mph once, came down and destroyed the nose gear). This time I held forward pressure until the A/S passed 70 and was accelerating, then eased back on the joystick. Lift off seemed normal at first then there was a HARD roll left. I corrected to the right, but chickened out on continuing the takeoff, cut the throttle and headed back toward the runway. The plane came down hard and took out the nose gear yet again, eventually left the runway and nosed over in the dirt. My one experience with a non-certified aircraft.

Re: Revflow
Doug Humble <hawkidoug@...>
I'm happy with my RevFlow. I had to tune it in the beginning to get it set right and I have a summer and a winter adjustment to accommodate for the difference in the air temp. I had heard that you had to "file" grooves into the needle to tune the carb for different rpm settings, but I have never had to do that. There are different size needles that I tried but ended up using the one that came with the carb and close to the factory setting for it.

BTW, the Waddelow schedule for the canard IS for the LS1. It simply does away with the carbon spar and is not to be used for the taildragger, only the TriQ without the landing loads on the canard, but it is still the LS1 airfoil. Paul Buckley Cheshire England

Re: Volts and amps
r.hole <r.hole@...>
Think of the SCR as a latching relay. A small current in the gate
causes the "relay" to latch, and in effect, puts a short circuit to ground. This short circuit causes the fuse to blow which disconnects the regulator from the battery. By the way, a second fuse between the SCR and battery is also necessary. I would not use this circuit for OV protection, would rather see a relay/contactor to disconnect. --- In Q-LIST@..., "Doug Humble" <hawkidoug@...> wrote: twice and didn't understand a heat sink from a limiting resistor!

No-one in their right mind would look for a 1000w Zener, and in a crowbar situation, it aint going to dissapate 1000w for long anyway...a few ms at most. What I had in mind, is more like this ( cigarette packet design): The alternator has no feild so you need to disconnect the output from the regulator to turn it off. A 60A scr is not a big device, ( TO220 for example, or TO3) costs little, and because we are talking a one-off situation here, needs no heatsink. Put the 1watt zener in the gate, to +12 thru a limiting resistor, pull the gate down to 0v with another resistor, add a cap to the gate to give it a small time constant to prevent switch on with noise. I'd also suggest 17-18v because the knee of a zener is not all that sharp. If the output rises, the SCR latches and blows the fuse, protecting the avionics, which is why we have it there. You could replace the fuse with a latching relay, and use the relay to turn off the DC bus also, as better solution. A warning OV light also. Anyway, I'm not suggesting you build one like this....you can buy them, and I'm sure there are proven designs out there. > Neil Wrote: Not if you use it as an overvolt crowbar with > a fuse. > > Mike Responds: > What?
