Re: [Dragonflylist] Congratulations on a successful flyin and I need a little help here (Grin!)
Spud Spornitz <spudspornitz@...>
Hi Justin,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The event did go very well (a little windy), the newbie's and oldies learned a bunch, we laughed a lot (cried some too!), saw some fun flying (That 540 Cozy IV was a rocket!!), and the camaraderie was off the scale, but the folks from AZ area and the west coast were very much missed. Super thanks for the report as it sounds like you guys have been busy building airplanes!!!! Which is the most important part. We had two attending Dragonfly's, Letempt and Bourque and the balance was Q-1's, Q-2's & Q-200's (with a Cozy IV and Velocity to pick for a "Tie" for Biggest Deviation of Plans award). There will be a full report in the up-coming editions of both newsletters. I must admit, I'm a little perplexed why we don't more Q's & DF's and their pilots attending (particularly Dragonfly's) from the AZ area and west coast. Maybe its flying over the mountains, maybe some are uncomfortable with engine combinations (VW, etc), maybe its to close to Oshkosh, maybe it timing, maybe it just isn't important enough (it certainly is plenty of work!), maybe people just have to busy a schedule to carve out that time, who knows for sure????? Tell me Justin (and you trusty band of AZ DF's), also Richard in Chino, Hale, Patillo, Farnham and etc. What's a good weekend in Sep/Oct 2007 that would work for you guys, Sept 7-9th or Sep 14-16th or Sep 21-23rd or Oct 5-7th. Give me some feed back guys and we'll try to scheduled around what works for you. We want you here, you are very much part of the group!!! And now after this years event, I really need you guy's help in a big way, I now have this bet with Jimmy Masal on the amount of attending tandem wing aircraft, Q's & DF's in 2007 (no Longs, Cozy or Velocity's don't count). I need 20 or more Q's & DF's flying/attending (with a minimum of 5 DF's). Yes, yes, yes, I have opened my big mouth again!!!!! So guys, you tell me what its going to take?? (Within reason!!!) to get you and your planes to Kansas in September/October 2007. All bribes will be entertained (Grin!!) In 1993 we had 27 or 28 tandems at the event, why not 20 in 2007. I don't see why not, with a little organization we can pull this off (And I win! <Happy Dance>). So I ask you Q and DF drivers out there, tell me what it going to take to get you here in 2007!!!!!! Important note: No Jimmy, this isn't cheating, you never said I couldn't ask for help!!!! (Snicker, snicker!!!) Very Best Regards, Spud Spornitz Olathe, Kansas P.S. Yes, we'll play Poker in 2007, we will even have an "official dealer" for the event. We gave away $150 ($100,$30 & $20) in poker this year, but can't remember the names right now. But that was fun!!!

From: Dragonflylist@... [mailto:Dragonflylist@...] On Behalf Of Justin Mace Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 7:21 PM To: Dragonflylist@... Subject: [Dragonflylist] Congratulations on a successful flyin. Hey Spudly, sounds like the swarming went well, but I am saddened to hear of a Q driver going down in MO., on the way to the flyin. My condolences to his family. Just to keep you up to date, while you guys were having all that fun I happened to be in the LA area and had a chance to get together with 4 other dragonfly drivers. Between the 4 of us still flying we have a total of 4650 hrs on our planes. Two of these aircraft have Continental engines with one of the fellows planning on installing an O-200. I got a chance to see his new motor mount and cowl design. The last fellow is still flying with a VW but is on his third case and still accumulating hours. A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to fly along side of Allen Peterson in his Dragonfly. Allen has installed an O-200 much the same as mine. He just got back from a trip to MN. He has installed a Navaid Devices wing leveler coupled to his new 296 Garmin. He also installed an altitude hold unit by Altrac, between the two it amounts to a full autopilot. He said the trip was very good and was not a problem to fly all day. Much more comfortable than his old Beachcraft Musketeer. Allen said that he got into some serious rain while enroute but it was a non event even with the GU canard. Oh, he has VG's installed at 50% cord. Like I said, I had the opportunity to fly alongside for a while and let me tell you it was great fun to fly with another DF again. Especially with his "auto pilot" turned on. No altitude changes or course changes while flying formation, it was very easy to be stable next to his plane, MaryJo even thought it was fun. He was at 140 kts and I was fooling around and let him get ahead. I had to go to 150 kts to catch up. We flew for about 20 miles like that before we started to do some sight seeing. All in all it was great fun. MaryJo didn't have her camera along this trip or we would have some air to air shots, maybe next time. Lurking here on the list it sounds like there are a few that still have no clue what the Dragonfly is all about. In short, it's the best bang for the buck flying machine going, even with the expensive O-200 for an engine. If you don't believe that just price some of the ultralights. While they have their place, for the same $$ you can fly at 140 kts on 5 gal/hr. The DF does require a PPL, or better ticket. For those that have decided and are building, keep at it, it is a very fun, safe and useful airplane. Justin Mace Tucson, AZ Dragonfly MK2/O-200 with more than 100 hrs in type. P.S. Jeff, I also looked at the ACS catalog on page 26 and find that Dart is not listed as the owners of the Dragonfly, this appears to be something that needs corrected in the 07 catalog.

Re: Props Inc. References
Rene Robertson <q2robertson@...>
I was trying to bring up my power band so mu cruise rpm would be 3200-3400 rpm. It worked, but I lost top end speed since the engine was turning close to 4000 rpm on a low pass at 180 MPH and I could no longer get those 200 MPH low passes. I've since gone back to a 54" diam and 48" pitch prop - best of both worlds.

Re: coughlin brake mount
wesisberg <wes@...>
That does help, Sam, esp. mounting instructions.
Not sure how I can better describe my concern in words. Let's say the mount is an uppercase "L" where the bottom part of the L is clamping to the rotor which is spinning at 5,000 RPM (90mph) with a run-out of .03". Then the top of the L will be wagging at the same speed and, if the ratio top:bottom is 2:1, an amplitude of .06". However, the slide only permits movement along the top axis (i.e., L jumping up and down, not teetering side-to-side). Nor am I sure the thing will loosen or wear visibly before breaking, so I'd at least have some notice during preflight. Agreed that I should avoid the issue by removing run-out, but the rotor is new and that's as close as I could get; maybe I should get finer shims.

I have a props inc on my plane. 58 X 71. It came with the project. I only have 32 hours on it, but it seems OK. I did have some correspondense with Jeff, I think that is his name, and he seemed willing to work with me. Also remember reading Brian Martinez flight reports and his comments about the Props Inc prop were neutral. Only that it worked as expected.
