Re: [Dragonflylist] First Flight still flyable
What no low pass! I know you are busy with 1st flight parameters etc but you must be ecstatic flying that lil' airplane again!!! Engine sounds great and sewing machine smooth! William Wyne must be cheer leading for you! How is cruise compared to the VW? What beautiful scenery! "Honey Lamb" just wants to know if you have cockpit heat up in that cold mountainous setting.Lots of folks pulling for you Charlie. Tell Bob hi and give him a wedgie for me. Hope to see you guys soon.Blessings!Bruce N "Honey Lamb"

Well done, Charlie. I know that engine monitor. It will change screens
when something goes out of limit and you have to poke at it to get what you want back. There are setup options for selecting your favorite page; you can get back to it with one click. Make sure your alarm setpoints are realistic- over-conservative and you'll be chasing them on the display. What scenery you have! It must be a blessing to flying beside those wonderful cumulo-granites! Rick Hole wiring V-Twin Velocity, not much time for Q2 lately

You are right, my bad.

I was steering with my feet trying to get my tach back and did get off centerline. I finally just had the airspeed and flew it off. Trying to get used to lots of info on one screen. I am also going to request the bigger runway. Regards, Charlie Johnson Ogden, Utah

Re: [Dragonflylist] First Flight still flyable
To all Q list;
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
First I would like to thank the members of the tandem wing community for the support. they even let me show up in a Cessna! Thanks to all for the encouragement and congratulatory posts following my engine runs, taxi runs, and first flight. More details: February 5th I went to the airport N-187CD was sitting there cowl on, tires aired up, main tank full. I had replaced the 52" X 58" propeller with a 52" X 54" from Tennessee Props Inc. I was getting over 2800 rpm static. I had previous static runs of 2650 with the 52" X 58" with taxi runs with 2687 peak rpm. I was thinking I was over the torque curve peak. I have been operating full rich on the ground and the mixture adjustment seems to be overly sensitive swinging rich to lean with little movement of the lever. The first card of the flight plan: Take off do not screw with mixture,carb heat, trim ect. Climb to pattern altitude, check temps, climb to 7500 msl north east of the airport using clearing 360 turns of varying bank angles. Check temps, slow to pitch bob level attitude. Return to airport to land. I basically accomplished the card but have a low rpm condition. This may be mixture or attitude related or too much prop or something else. Still have 39.1 hrs to get it figured out in. Here is the video link _http://contour.com/stories/file001a_ (http://contour.com/stories/file001a) Regards, Charlie Johnson Ogden, Utah

Just some fun...
Revmaster Aviation, best known for VW conversions in experimental aircraft, got
their start in drag racing. Coming full circle, they are currently testing their latest creation, a 3000cc VW derivative, in a dragster and unveiled to us on Saturday. Watch for an article on this event in the March issue of EAA's Experimenter eNewsletter. https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=3357023442997 They ran a few tiny burnouts for us with the muffler installed, but for this run, they removed it to see how loud it would be, but didn't launch it. I'll have the launch videos in the March Experimenter. This is the same Revmaster R-3000 we published in CONTACT! Magazine a few years ago. http://www.issuu.com/panzera/docs/issue_80l Patrick Panzera Editor@... www.ContactMagazine.com Editor, EAA's Experimenter e-Newsletter http://www.eaa.org/experimenter/ PPanzera@...

My first Q-2 flight------------------
Mike McGowan
My hat is off to Jim Patillo and friends for a wonderful day at Livermore AP in Calif. This is a GREAT bunch of very helpful guys. I am loaded with priceless info and encouragement for my Q-2 project. I am sure that my first flight could have been disastrous without their help.
Jim took me up in his beautiful Q-200 and made many approach to landings showing me the tactics and visuals for a safe landing. What a rocketship, a little Ferrari with wings. I cant wait to get mine airborne. Moving N71SM to St George (SGU) for flight testing, it's 150x9300 ft. Hurricane AP is only 45x3400 ft. Thanks again to Jim and the gang at Livermore AP, I will be at the fly-in in Aug for sure. Mike Mcgowan N71SM

Re: Installing a new main wing
I raised the TE because the old angle of incidence had problems. I know
this because I was flying it. If you have not flown this aircraft I don't think you have any basis for making a change. In addition, my rear wing had already been replaced back in 1987 and the alignment may not have been perfect back then, so this time around I was actually correcting the previous repair. I would be more comfortable striving to insert your wing according to plans. Has this plane flown? Have you already removed the old wing (I hope not yet). If you have not removed the wing, make a couple of dead nuts accurate templates for the level lines for the old wing AND THE FUSELAGE. Then transfer to the new wing. There may be photos in my blog.

Re: Spring Fling
Hi Kevin,
I will put this on my calendar. I am pretty intrepid now that I have my XM satellite weather in real time in my Cherokee.Have not heard much from Charlie lately, but wouldn't it be cool if he had flown all of his time off in the corvair powered D-fly by that date and could make it out. I would happily be his chase pilot..hint.hint.Charlie are you listening? Cheers, Jay Scheevel - Tri-Q still building...

Installing a new main wing
Martin Skiby
I received a very nicely built Main wing from Rick Hole this past week and it is ready to install. I will need some suggestions on getting the plane level at this stage. Jay has offered a level fixture that I hope will do the trick and ease my mind on this. I have the intention of decreasing the angle of incidence by moving the rear of the wing about 1/8 inch up before floxing it in. Our previous wing had too much lift and we actually placed three cuts in the bottom from the aileron to the tip and twisted the wing up so the tip was about 3/8 up. It made a cool looking wing, but I don't want to do that again I would rather change the incindence slightly and avoid the issue all together.
I think Sam also raised his slightly when he installed the new one. Thanks in advance to the group. I'll keep you all posted. Hopefully not to much longer before I have her back in the air.

Re: The Big Muddy Air Race is live! June 9
The number 1 point to remember "The shortest distance between two points is
a straight line". You may laugh, but it's harder than you might think. Depart Carbondale and hold it down to build speed till you pass the starting judges at the end of the runway. Head to the various turn points, usually 1,000' AGL. The finish is a low pass for the timing judges, then circle to land. Last year I did SARL Air Racing 101 presentation. I'll send it off line to you and anyone else who requests it. It is very very fun.
