Subject: [Q-List] Any Ideas

I like the format Sam, its informal so allows people to relax, both the audience and the presenter.

If there is anything the audience think has been missed, they just need to ask.

FYI - Paul Fisher put together a list of topics for the Q-Tour hosts to cover.  Things like purchase date, time to build, how much flying time, etc.  It's provided to the hosts before their tour.

Then, they can film (cell phone is fine and everyone seems to have one) the walk/talk around while addressing their interest as well as the standardized list of questions/topics.

Once they finish this, the cell phone video can be uploaded and then as you mentioned a ZOOM meeting for everyone to get feedback.

All of mine are 6 ply. Probably overkill, but that is what they were selling.

Cheers,
Jay

Subject: Re: [Q-List] tire size (revised topic)

Thanks Jay,

I have the uprated leg, but set it up with the 10 inch tyre, to the + 3 Degree, it looks good on the wheels currently, but it is an option if the lift off needs assistance.

I was more meaning the ply rating, are you running 4, 6 or 8 ply ? As you are running 11" will be slightly different anyway.

Hi Richard,

Most people use the original 4" rim and tire size that came with the tri-gear kit (also most people have the heavier-duty Scott Swing/Velocity gear leg and fork). I initially used the 5" rim with the 11" tire that is intended for the main gear also on the nose. Plan was to have same on all three wheels and carry a spare to replace any of them. I changed my mind on the mains and went to the 500x5 on the mains, but left the 11" tire on the nose. Since you have the 500x5 mains, you may want to do this since it raises the nose a bit, which helps with rotation on take off and gives more prop clearance.

Cheers,
Jay

Hi Jay,

slightly off subject but have you done a survey of what Nose tyres people are using ?

I just finished the top skin layup on the wing and am doing the canard top on Wednesday. Does anyone remember their weight for wing and canard Q200 at this stage? Curious as to where I stand.

Also, in the plans it says to put the rudder pedals where comfortable.
I am 5 10 1/2. Can someone around my height measure from the inside firewall to the mount point for their rudder pedals and let me know. It will save me a bit of figuring. Thanks Chris

Richard,

You had asked about the reflexor and elevator push pull tubes and adjustment for roll trim.

I will attempt to attach some pics for you.

Reflexor installed. The aluminum holds the cookie in the ring, and applies the friction to keep it in place. The bolt at the top is a b-nut that captures the control wire. the control is a veneer cable in the cockpit.  

The stainless cable is for the rudder. 

Elevator control rods. If you look closely, you can see the friction tube that is on the left control rod. Just a piece of clear tube. The ID is tight on the metal parts. No movement with vibration. There is a left thread on one end and a right thread on the other.  Cardinal Rule! DO NOT ADJUST DURING FLIGHT. It would be a bad day if the tube came disconnected in flight. There are no jamb nuts on them. 520 hours and so far I have had no trouble.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: [Q-List] Dave Dugas' Q-2 presentation upload on hold

All,

I was able to get Dave's presentation uploaded, but when he saw it, he realized that the recording quality was so poor, that no one would probably want to sit through it.  This may be an on-going problem with Zoom. With each presenter, we do a test Zoom from their hangar, and honestly, I wouldn't lie, the broadcast quality was just fine. Maybe it has to do with local weather conditions. At any rate, Dave has kindly volunteered to repeat his presentation, not on Zoom, on some device, then upload it via WiFi and we'll get it on YouTube.  It may be a week or two, so please be patient.

In that same line Keith Welsh has re-recorded his presentation but hasn't had a chance to upload it yet.  So that is in the works.

Reaction to the presentations has been very good but it looks like we will have to move to more of a pre-recorded format.  Maybe we can release the recording, then have a Zoom Q&A shortly after where you guys could ask the follow up questions.  Also, Mike Dwyer is working on another format for his October session, where he may combine a pre-recorded film, but combine it with a Zoom meeting.  It will be interesting if that method works.

Anyhoo, stay tuned and please stay patient.

Thanks.
