Re: Fire extinguisher location
Paul Fisher
I understand Mike. I am HAPPY to say that I have carried a fire extinguisher for 27 years and have never needed it!! I hope for that trend to continue. Seriously, I figured the best use was on the ground in case of a fire during engine start. I doubt it would be much use in flight - but I would still try!!

Re: Fire extinguisher location
So a question about fire extinguishers. Obviously Halon seems to be a good choice. The others blow out powder or C02. Don't want the powder all over everything. The Halon works by displacing the oxygen. When I'm flying I got the air vents wide open and a good breeze blowing through. I don't see Halon working in the cockpit. And how could you test to see if it would work? In flight, I see the highest risk of fire under the cowl. Anything that could put out an engine fire? I do know how to build an electronic fire detector but haven't done that either... Sorry to say I haven't had an extinguisher for 30 years in the Q...

Re: Engine installation
UL offers their engine weights with oil and all accessories (ECU, fuel pumps and so on) total weight comes in at 168lbs.

Re: Engine installation
I was probably misunderstood at SNF. The placement for the engine mount moves down 1 3/8" at the top to get the UL engine crank on the trust line for the Q. I will post a picture of the firewall dwg when I get back into our shop in WV this week. As far as CG the UL comes in at about 8lbs lighter then the 2100D VW so there should be no issues there. UL offers all the info on line for the engine mount dimension needed and the original Q firewall templets does offer the thrust line location. Balancing the controls is a must do because of the speed increase with the new engine.

Re: Engine installation

I would not be concerned at all about the placement for the UL. Personally I would place the centerline exactly where the 0200 is and give it a run. Check the weight and balance carefully and go. I have done research on the UL and find it will be a great option for the Q2/200. You will need to counter balance all your control surfaces and follow the procedures for the Q200 as you will basically have one of those. Actually a Q-260!!. Great choice and good luck with the install. Let me know if I can help at all.
We have a Q200 and a TriQ200 both in the air. You could also start with an 0200 prop or something very close. We are running our 0200's in the 2800 RPM range for high speed which is a little less than the UL will want. Biggest issue is to make sure you have adequate static RPM for the first flight to get off the ground. I would love to chat more if you like. Sincerely,

Fire extinguisher location
Martin Skiby
I feel that having a good fire extinguisher is mandatory equipment for any plane. With that said, we have a nice place for one in our TriQ in the area over the main wing. In the Q200 we just got flying it seems that the canopy brace partially covers the opening so you would not be able to pull out the extinguisher without opening the canopy. So my question is, where have others found is a good place to tuck a fire extinguisher. I have the smallest halon type I can find for both planes, which I feel is the minimum. It would be a chore to change the opening over the wing, but that is what we will do if necessary. Thank you all.

I have a Rotax 912 in my Titan Tornado. The good thing about it is the ability to use an inflight adjustable prop, it would really suit a Q. Sent from Samsung tablet

Re: Engine installation
Since the 2100D, Revmaster has lost some weight by ditching the heavy dual mags and going solid state. It also picked up a few ccs going to 2332. The prop flange has always been included in the weight of the Revmaster, so is the complete induction system and starter. There's not much to add, save oil, fuel, and 12 volts for the starter - and the engine is running. The only thing omitted is the exhaust, as with things like an engine mount, cowl, baffles, prop and spinner, those are all airframe specific and the weights will vary. Pat

Might be total weight FWF? The UL engine weight looks like bare and dry.
Really pinning down engine weights is difficult if you are not there to see what
is included.
