Hello Bruce: I am definitely up for a trip. I imagine I will make Sullivan or Osh or one of those nice events next year and will get a chance to visit on the way. Our new friend Kevin F.

Can't speak for QAC but in the design stage rudders are sized using the wing area and the cord. Sure would be interesting to see just how the Q's size up. Any thoughts David G.? Another question

One question that has never been asked or answered is why did QAC use such a small rudder? Anybody know? Every other taildragger I have ever seen has a huge rudder for ground control. James

James, if this is the case there is something wrong with your aircraft, c of g, rigging, relative aoa of flying surfaces or something else related to handling. It has been said before but you should

I repeat. The standard rudder is ineffective on the ground. Do not count on it to do anything if your tailspring breaks. No theory here. Just many results. My first introduction to this phenomena

Phil so they named the engine after a boxing kangaroo!? Come out and see us. "Honey Lamb" says hi. Just weekends and holidays eh? That will keep you from getting so many hours on the Q. Then

Larry, I can't speak for your plane but I use a standard taildragger main gear takeoff quite often, picking up the tail at 40 kts and the authority is max--a tiny tap and you are headed that way

James, How about a taxi TEST of your Q's large rudder using a free swivelling tail wheel. Ryan the stability problem exist. can summarize as follows. elevator trim prevail. lift on the canard and

I thought it was "Jab(like take a poke at)eru". Are you troubling the air around S. Calif with that Q? If you get tired of the high cost of Calif remember it's cheaper in Oklahoma. We could use

Larry, I believe they do, when there are no wheel alignment/tracking issues. Ryan

Kevin, Welcome to the Q community! Your original post certainly generated replys - brakes, control, large rudder or not, upwind, downwind, on and on! I purchased a Q200 almost two years ago. The

Hey Phil, Good job! I think that more Q pilots will step up to the plate and help those getting ready to fly. Hope to see you at Laughlin again this year. Paul Q-2 (What was it?) "Jiberu" 3300
