Oh goodie! I have been sanding for months now. I should go really fast and be fully trimmed.

Yes my strainers are at about midpoint on the elevators. They were probably overbuilt slightly but still won’t make it if stepped on. I have flown them for years so I couldn’t tell you if they work better than inboard. I originally made them adjustable and thought they were going to work. But I had an add on trailing edge flap upward to make them neutral in cruise (the bolt heads and rough texture produced a drag upward on the elevator without the flap).
When I pulled the pivot bolts and glassed the strainers in place the drag was much less and the strainers made the elevator pull down more and it wanted to climb so I started sanding equal amounts of aft strainer flaps off until the pitch was neutral in cruise. Then I filled and sanded them smooth.. The strainers became even more effective and once again which made me sand more of the aft flap off for cruise. Next I painted them and sure enough they became more effective and essentially I ended up sanding off the entire aft flap when finally finished. By the way I was able to remove my pitch trim when I finished sanding them for neutral in cruise.
And they lived happily ever after.

I believe Bruce Crain has his strainers mid span but don't quote me on that I've seen to many Q's over the years to remember them all in detail. Here is a photo of one of ours with a small turn buckle for adjustment. We use to have another with a slotted hole in front for adjusting.

Re: Strainers

Hi Matthew,

Don't confuse the strainer with a trim device. It is only there to try to even up the elevator control forces. The reason you are experiencing a balancing act to get the plane trimmed up in cruise is because the main wing has largely been unloaded with your configuration, so the pitch is primarily controlled by the canard. This makes it a bit touchy. Try introducing a little up reflexor in cruise, then trim the elevator above neutral and I think you will find the pitch more stable because you will be "cradled" between two lifting surfaces instead of balancing on just one.

As a side note, if you send me a photo of your plane taken from the side standing about 20 feet from off the wingtips and looking perpendicular to the fuselage (stand midway between the projected/extended canard and main wings), then I can tell you what your decalage is. This is useful to know, when comparing your plane's behavior to other flying Q's.

Re: Strainers

Matthew Curcio

#46142

I have seen some that have the strainer at the mid span but in that case they give the strainer more span as it is presumably less effective when out of the prop wash. I have had multiple close calls even with people who should know better trying to use the strainer as a step so I kind of think moving it out is a good idea despite the weight penalty.

On that note I have not read in the manual how it advises to set AOI of the strainer but I suspect it may be vague. I have asked around on this subject a bit because my q is quite divergent in pitch. I can get it trimmed out decently in roll and pitch but it’s more of a balancing act than anything, especially in pitch. I’m fairly certain this has to do with the strainer. This is an especially unsafe characteristic since the q trims the feel of the stick not the control surface. It’s one of the items on my list of things to sort out. If I was building a q I would leave the strainer unfinished before first flight and build it such that you could adjust the angle before permanently glassing it in place. At some point, during phase one flight testing, do a series of pitch doublets with varying AOI on the strainer to find the best angle.

Costco sells 2 down throws for $40 look for them. They make excellent travel blankets and pack up very small and are light. Check it out.

I am enjoying the best winter I ever had 67 today 75 tomorrow.

They are starting a new row of hangars at E95 and I am on the list to rent one. Hope to get my Dragonfly down here next summer.

Paul, 2 hair dryers sounds faster. You must have 2 circuits available as each of mine pulls over 15amps?. It took me an hr with 1, I need room for a travel blanket.
Jay, I'm traveling (San Francisco area) and will cross post to Google when I get real Internet. Any Q folks in San Francisco, feel free to email me off list using "web AT vt.edu" and I'll look you up when I get a break from work.

Glad to join you all in the hair dryer club. Bruce, we won't comment on any other hair dryer activities!
