Al, Sam's account is a classic description of flutter, not just buzz. In answer to your question, "...anyone still think that balancing it is a good idea?" Yes, the FAA does in FAR 23.629. I already

They are part of the origional design and necessary. Since I did not build this from zero, My understanding is they aid the airflow over the elevator's. Maybe some of the flying Q's will give us the

Now they are in place, I am starting to detail all the little spots everywhere to get ready for paint. You can see the strainers on my web link below and I also will upload them to the Q list photo's

Wasn't the Dragonfly the next evolution after the Q? It does have a larger cockpit. It could probably benefit from the LS1 canard or something better. Butch Hernandez had a nice Tri-Dragonfly with a

Damian, Not quite sure of the question, "That is Qs are not devices . " but, there is, of course, no "requirement" to do really anything to the airplane... There has never been a plans inclusion

Sam, Welcome back and congrats. Now that we have the owner's verson of the story, it like Larry's version certainly indicates that there is nothing in the design of the rudder of the Q2-Q2XX

Damian , A 2 place and a 4 place Q from a pre fab kit would make a big impression. Peter

Damian, If this means a possible source for ready built pre formed wings and canard this could be the way to find a new generation of builders and to ensure the future for the Q. Construction of the

Hi any of you guy's need a Q 2 I still have my project w/Revmaster 2100 D and demuth prop, come on to Atlanta Ga and get it . Thank's Randy Bass.

Buzz, flutter, call it what you will, but it shook the crap of the aircraft and it scared the crap out of me. At least till it stopped. I had this happen on about three occasions on my Q-200, all

On a Q200 one could on first thumbnail hinge it off the firewall and nest it under the center console with a blister on the bottom of the fuselage. the wing tip wheels would have to change to

No really major mods for me. I still have hope of actually finishing the thing. The new canard and non Onan engine is enough Experimenting for now. I don't see my mods as really improving the

Al, thanks for reply. I am currently looking at several options from complete kits w/o powerplants to a crashed Q with a broken wing.( I have a soft spot for wounded animals) I do not like the idea

If you haven't already done it, itstall the panel you have made and check all the clearances. If you are putting vacuum gyros in, make sure sure include the hose and fitting clearances...the same

Leon, Thanks for your response. Is that what you are doing with your Super sized Q? If so how far along are you? What is you target speed ? 4 seater? What powerplant? What payload? Fixed gear or

Peter , thanks for the reply. Do you have any ideas or source info for a better airfoil than the LS1? I am looking at a few unfinished projects as well as a wreck and one formerly flying Q to buy .
