Re: Seat Tank Fuel Gauge
Corbin <c_geiser@...>
Oh man, so putting weights on didn’t compress them so I opened up the left one and cut down the foam 50%. I’m hoping after the “cut down” foam compresses then I can add back the rest. I left the right seat one alone.

Re: Seat Tank Fuel Gauge
I have the dial mechanical gauge, like Sam’s. I also have a capacitance gauge. The dial gauge will be difficult to install after the fact, without getting a lot of contamination (fiberglass and foam dust) into the tank that will have to late be removed from your fuel filter. I would suggest repairing the floating tube gauge that you have, or putting a capacitance gauge in that same location. Just my two cents.

I see that Sam Hoskins has a dial gauge in his seat. Where does everyone else have their main tank fuel gauge? Mine has a clear tube going up by the pilot's right leg (and not working).

Re: LS-1 canard
Look in my photos section in the Q-list photos. I have several photos of the Coughlin brakes, plus a dimension sheet. The Coughlin brakes are an improvement over the LaRue, which were an improvement over the QAC brake mounts. I also have an article about them on my blog. Sam

Re: LS-1 canard
Not familiar with the Coughlin Brake Mod but there is a Gall wheel alignment that most guys use. Sam Hoskins is the go to guy for split rudder/tail wheel cables and I think he has the alignment procedures. Jim Patillo is also a go to guy as his Q200 is really tame on landing and take off.

And obviously major unending kudos to Dan for putting all that stuff online for free! Saved me metric buttloads of pain and suffering for sure.

Sam, is that plate aluminum or steel? Thickness?

Re: How Much Cable Play between Rudder and Tailwheel in Q2?
Here’s another cable option that allows for differential between rudder and tailwheel but Sam’s
set up is a lot easier to install especially on a finished airplane. Like he said, no destruction. (This is one of the six pack mods). I think this mod is like dual finger brakes vs dual toe brakes, it’s a matter of individual taste. They both accomplish the same thing. Jim Patillo N46JP Q200

Re: How Much Cable Play between Rudder and Tailwheel in Q2?
No destructions needed, this photo shows all. The turnbuckle cable goes to the rudder bellcrank. Sam

Do you have instructions/drawings/parts list for your cable splitter in the files section somewhere, or on your blog? Might be an easier retrofit on a completed bird. -- -MD #2827 (still thinking about planning on visualizing how to finish building)

Re: Facet Fuel Pump

Yes, the old pump was repaired. But it's so old that I'm only going to use it in the airplane now.

Re: Hobbs Wiring

Good idea, I'll try that. Now that I think about it (and now six states away from the plane), the main bus isn't that hard to get to.

Try connecting a 9 volt battery to the Hobbs meter directly using alligator clips. Wait 6 minutes and see if it turns... -- -MD #2827 (still thinking about planning on visualizing how to finish building)
