Hmmm .... perhaps a guage for the rear tank of the Q1? Have flown 7 hours this year already. Today was gorgeous ... tomorrow will do another 4-5; off to see Don Johnson and Gary McKirdy

Jon, Your "safety factor" concept is not a stretch but is right on the mark. Burt Rutan did as you've described on all his designs. The target "no control linkage" aerodynamic trim speed is in the

If you want a leak free electronic one that can be epoxied to the tank, hold on a bit. I have designed and electrically bench tested a capacitive gauge that uses a 1/8" tube 8" long (or whatever)

Jon, I built a flange into my tank. The sender bolts in using sealed blind nuts. So far, so good. Bob N200QK Jon Finley wrote:

Hey all, I'll be away from my email for awhile (starting today) but thought I would throw a few questions out for you guys to mull over. Anybody have tips/tricks for installing a float style fuel

Hi Folks. I'm in the process of getting things ready for the first Q-Talk of 2001 and I received article part of which is shown below from one of the guys subscribing. When I see a 'question' type

Hey Dave, Thanks! I think. :-) I spent so much time blabbering that I didn't answer your question very well. What I was attempting to say was that NOW my plane climbs and descends 100'-150' above

Finley is on target with this. If the Q1 driver built it then he knows what is underneath. I have not heard of this kind of damage of a PLANS built canard in 20 years of looking. But then, it would

Before you fill the holes and lay up with the cloth I would drill several little 1/16" or smaller holes around the circumference of the damage. Then I would mix a very wet micro mix and syringe it

Hi Jon Thanks for the great reply. Jon you are a peice of work, in the same time most of us spend thinking about changing somthing you do it and go on to somthing else. Its great. I concur with
