That sounds like a perfect result. I also have mounted the canard 1/2 degree up and aelerons neutral and hoping for elevators neutral . Will report after test flight. Peter

OK, lets talk about the T-tail again, If one (ie. me) were to mount a T-tail that had limited travel, such that the max deflection of the T-tail was slightly small than being equal and opposite to

Bob, do you have a reference for that? I was under the impression that it applied to the LS1. I was looking thru the Q-Talk index and found a couple of references to incidence. May 87 p14 Scott Swing

Jay, I used washers on the engine mounts. The firewall should be mounted vertical and square relative to the WL. Bob F. N200QK

Unless I'm missing something, it seems to me that the stall angle of an airfoil has nothing to do with load, and everything to do with angle of attack. And since the main wing doesn't exist in

The suggestion to mount the canard 1 degree up was for the GU canard only. There was never a suggestion to mount the LS1 at any angle other than 0-0. Bob F. N200QK

Me too, except I preset my reflexor pitch up a couple of degrees when light (forward CG). Makes the airplane lift off with the same back pressure in either case. Bob F. N200QK

Bob, Did you acheive the angle change with spacers on the engine mounts, or was the firewall orientation actually changed from vertical? On 5/22/03, 10:36:47 AM, "Bob Farnam" <bfarnam@...>

Birds are that effective, huh. I wonder if the US army had a "trained birds" infantry program during the cold war :-) On 5/22/03, 10:27:51 AM, "Letempt, Jeffrey CW4" <letemptj@...> wrote

There are conflicting instructions in the Q200 plans. At one place in the plans, the instructions are to mount the engine level with right thrust. At another place in the plans, the instructions say 1

Close but no cigar. The MIG-29 crash at the Paris air show in 1989 was caused by an engine failure due of a bird strike. In 1993 I was at the Fairford air show in the UK when the two MIG-29 had

Kelly, My reflexor is set at zero on takeoff as well as in flight. I use full up reflexor it to stick the tail on landing and down reflexor to lower the nose in flight with a heavy aft load. Jim

no clue. Haven't measured.

My TriQ200 behaves about the same. I don't use aileron-down reflexer at all. At high speed ailerons and elevator are neutral. I mounted the canard half a degree nose up. I know Scott Swing suggested

It may mean that it could use a little more canard incidience. In cruise the elevator sets at about 1/4 inch below the trailing edge. I have talked to others and they have said that the elevator

Hi Kelly Does this not indicate that you could do with more canard incidence? Do you have any canard incidence or was the water line set level? When in cruise do you set it in order to 'fair in' the
