Flight Report/s
Kevin Boddicker
Been a long time since my last report. Damn!
Flew last week for the first time this year, but for a biannual on 2/2. Nice day forecast, and that came true. Left DEH at 11:30 AM to meet Paul Fisher for lunch.Flight was great! Severe clear and bright sunshine. 45°F as well. Picked VTI because of favorable winds, although wind was light when we arrived. I took Paul a used O-200 cylinder. He has use for one, but is not sure if he will rebuild, or buy new. Went to town for lunch an good conversation. Flight home was excellent as well. Had a strong crosswind, but didn’t effect ground speed much. Paul had a headwind to VTI, and haulled on the way home. Made two good landings, and was happy with the day. #2 Flew again today! 50°F+ today. Old saying, if March comes in like a lamb, it will go out like a lion. Hope that”s wrong. Went for two reasons. The obvious, because I could. AND I logged 500 hours on N7868B today!! When I was building, I could only imagine being able to fly at all. Now I have flown her 500 hours. Again, never thought that would happen when elbow deep in a layup in some hell hole. It may not mean much to you high timers, but I’m happy today. There is an old story about someone in Q the group, telling another from the Dragonfly group that he would kiss his ass, if,,,,???? Well, I would have thought I might do the same if I ever got 500 hours on my plane, but I don’t have to. See attached. Thanks Yimmie Keep building, taxiing, painting, dreaming, working, It’s well worth it.
Kevin Boddicker TriQ 200 N7868B 500 hrs Luana, IA. I'll never tell!!!

Yes, I’m hesitantly outing it up for sale. I’ll update the post later today. My apologies.

Re: Q2 to to Q200
Martin Skiby
Mike, I saw one years ago that was a swing mount so the guy could swing the engine out to get to accessory case. It pushed the engine only about 2 inches farther forward I believe. Looked like a good idea, but I decided it was not worth the extra work and weight and CG issues.

Re: Q2 to to Q200
Mike Dwyer
The Quickie factory people determined that to use the heavier 0-200A engine that a LS1 wing with the carbon fiber spar was needed. The GU spar ends 4 feet from the wing tips and is the weak point for landing loads. Yes a couple of people have got some hours on a GU with the 0-200A but maybe they are exceptional pilots or haven't faced that sudden downburst yet... Other changes. Header tank, elevator control system, mass balancers on elevator and ailerons, stiffener stringers on back side of cowling, engine mounts.

Yes what Richard said. No need for an LS Canard. But there is a need to counter balance all control surfaces if not already done.

Should have done them at the pedal end as well, that's an

Re: Brake tube failures

You can change from Nylon tube to Teflon tube without needing to use the braided tube. The end fittings can be the same or upgraded.
