Re: Spring Fling
Am looking forward to it, Kevin. I know that weather can be unsettled over the Rockies that time of year, so I will plan like a Californian, where every day is sunny.

Spring Fling
Kevin Boddicker
Listers,
Bruce has been promoting the Spring Fling for quite a while now. He called me yesterday, and needed information. I decided on May 21,22,23, 2021. Good Lord willin. Hope everyone can participate on those dates. Last year we rescheduled for mid July, due to the virus. No-one got sick by the way. Personally, I will have received both vaccines by then, so no worries. Right? Mark your calendars. Make room arrangements. Lots of rooms in DEH. That’s Decorah IA. It’s laid back, lots of fun, great FBO on the field that goes out of his way to accommodate . If you know you are going to attend raise your hand. All the best, Kevin Boddicker TriQ 200 N7868B 542 hrs Luana, IA.

Re: N96BJ Flight
Any time frame for completion of "Frankenbird"? Inquiring minds want to know. It would sure be great to see you taxi up at FOD this year! I don't suppose the weather has been conducive to squeeging fiberglass resin. But Spring is coming and the temps will be perfect! I concur that Cushing would be a great place to test fly it. I've been into Pogue and didn't like to surroundings and approach. It is a bit unsettling to me.
What are you working on currently?

I learned to ski back in the late 60's on "Cascade Concrete". We lived in Arlington Washington and the high school there didn't have a football team, but did have a ski and track team.

The whole Northern New Mexico scene has changed drastically. When I first moved there in 1997 it was a LOT backward. Anyway..in 2017 Lara and I sold off our 50 acres with the Earthship I built and decided Green Country Oklahoma was a lot better for her gardening efforts (and our retirement pension dollars as well!). It was a good choice for us.. we are both much happier here.
I have been drawn to Cushing for the 40 hour testing..but we are closer to Bristow. As you know most of the time we have North/South winds but less so here in the Tulsa area. I figure Cushing is a much better testing base..but I do want to have the aircraft closer. Pogue in Sand Springs is a nice airport in itself, but lots of hills and trees so not many places to choose from in emergency landing.
Frankenbird's canard and wingspan is 18 feet..same as Q2. I figure since it has the GU airfoil, it will probably fly similar to any other MKII Q2 with the same airfoil. The difference being construction of the Canard and Wing are Dragonfly.. the wing has the D-fly turtledeck...so both surface bolt to the Q2 bulkheads. Because I will be using a three blade prop with the same deck angle on the ramp as any other Q2 I'm not concerned that there will be a prop tip clearance problem. The aircraft will look pretty much as any other Q2 would externally, but imagine it with your RV6 gear.
Some of the specific changes I am doing deal more with what I learned in the aircraft factory life I fortunatly endured..and some from owner reports..accident reports..additions that any could choose to do if they had the same concerns as I.

Glad you made it through Snowklahoma! It was warmer in Angel Fire than Enid when we were there. Took off in a big crosswind from Angel Fire and an glad to be able to use the RV again!

I don't really think of forward slips much except to slow the TriQ down a bit. I try to come in over the numbers flat like I am sitting on the runway so the nose doesn't get to high. If you come in with the nose high you are going to fast. If the nose if above the horizon much it will pay of and give you some bounces. Of course the Dragonfly may work differently so go cautiously! I usually try to hold the upwind wing down and opposite rudder as sometimes in a gust crabbing can make you go airborne again.

How bad was the homestead when you arrived? Just today the water mains in Tulsa were finally repaired.. Out here in the sticks we are on a water catchment system I built backed up by a well I drilled last Summer. No water problems but my electric bill is probably going to be a bit extreme.

I've been to Angel Fire many times...Taos, Crested Butte,.. lots of skiing. Its a beautiful airport at Angel Fire.
Which is your preference for X-wind landings, Bruce. Forward slip all through Final or do you crab angle and then align to the
runway? X-wind Pilot techniques were taught both ways in my Student times... Instructor presented both.
I ask because the various types of aircraft make the Approach to landing different. I am wondering specifically the change (if any) in Tri Q compared to taildragger version.
I learned both and most of the time use forward slip. I do this because early in the approach it's mostly known what the ability of the aircraft is to fly the X-wind component at that airport at the time. The risk of course is strict airspeed maintenance because I'm cross controlled at low altitude.
Glad your back and safe. Does your RV have the added gussets on the gear tubes? This months Kitplanes has a very good article on the topic.

Film trailer
Hi All,
Sam has put me on the calendar sometime down the road for a Q-tour done via Zoom. I will be doing that Zoom tour from my office, since I have poor signal at the airport. I will narrate the tour while showing a video much like Mike Dwyer did on his Q-tour. Sam will schedule my Zoom for some time after this month’s tour hosted by Jim Patillo.
In the meantime, I have posted on YouTube, the video that I will narrate. If you want to take a sneak peek. It has no narration, and you will have to tune in to the future Zoom session if you want to hear me talk about it (or not). In any case, here is the link to my “silent movie” version of that video tour: https://youtu.be/a-8e-chpia8

Corbin------------ It is minus 20 to minus 40 here for about four months.
Springtime, normal walk around , fire it up and go flying. It is always in an unheated hangar. If I ever do leave it outside, I also check the back fuselage for any water that could of entered from the canopy area, plus all static vents and pitot.

Re: Cold Weather Texan
Hey Corbin,
Two words from me: Insulated overalls 😊 Hope you made it through the Texas deep freeze without too much damage or discomfort.
Cheers, Jay

I would suggest you check tire pressure. Sometimes the cold can cause air leaks.
You might also check anything else in the hangar that might be affected by freezing. I have two boxes of stuff (tapes, cleaners, pens, etc.) that I remove in November and return in April. It happens every year here in Iowa so it's just part of the process!

As many of you know, we got down to zero Fahrenheit for 2-3 days down here in Texas. That’s common for many of you but certainly not for us.
