Does this also apply to the Q1? I'd hope for a slower stall speed from a small plane with a sub mach cruise speed. Is there a future for the Q1 as a Sport Pilot capable aircraft? John So

John, No the stall speed is too high. The best I can get is 60 mph with my vortex generators. James Postma Q2 Revmaster N145EX Q200 N8427 Steilacoom, Washington (253) 584-1182 9:00 to 8:00

I do not know of anyone who has done primary training in a Q2. I may consider doing this at some point in time after TAF begins operating, but only in a TAF model. It would also be highly dependant

The best info I have on this at this time is that you only have to show that it was amateur built to have it certified. You do not have to do the work, but you should do some of it to get an

Well John, I am just stating what Frank did and that he felt that it was a proven design. He made three of these and two pilots have flown them. Neither of us has done any limit testing but have not

Mr. Koutz, FYI: The Comet failed but to metal fatigue caused by pressurization/depressurazition, not vibration. Guess you don't like me much, huh? Kevin

Isn't that just real nice stir up the group and then leave! I don't know what your point was in the last several posts but it sure wasn't informative, educational or productive. Glad to see you will

Phil, You are absolutely right! (At 16 years old, we both know engine management didn't play a big role). On the other hand, being an engineer (I know that dulls the dialog a bit), I know there was

Guys, Ooops, I forgot that the implications of posting here was possible flaming and general bedlam. (Hopefully, I haven't awakened another sleeping giant like I did with controllability).

David, An afterthought: In my Pitts, which lands about the same speed as the Q, but probably has more robust landing gear, I wear a parachute. In the case of an engine out, with the Pitt's flight

Larry Koutz, Would you send me your e-mail address? I talked with a new TriQ owner that wants to look at pictures of the swing away mount. He might be interested in buying one if available. Not

David and gang, In the below reference to a Corvair engine, my thoughts went back to my dune buggy days. I was never impressed with the engine, but at the time we could buy a complete car for $40.00,

Hi John, I dropped into Leongatha on the way back and there's plenty of gliding going on at that strip. It's only an hour from here so I'll be likely to take that advice. One of my friends (who is

Rob, may I suggest a few laps in a glass sailplane as well? The accuracy required to fly a sailplane and the sensitivity of control is a very good indicator of the required standard. As is the need

Have purchased N44BJ less engine (O-200). Will be powered with a Corvair when I finish. Does anyone on the list have any info relevant to this Tri-Q ? If so please let me know. It will be greatly
