Re: X wind landings in a Q diff toe or hand brakes

Nope. Not with the electronic subscription. And... I get the mag in .pdf so the snail mail man no longer gets to tear them to shreds.

Don't Kitplanes charge $7.50 pay per view?

Re: X wind landings in a Q diff toe or hand brakes

And... as 108 is a back issue... I have to buy it to answer the question. Quite the marketer there Doug. :) Why are back issues not posted on the website? They are on the Kitplanes website...

Re: Thrust Line & Belly board

The belly board is for drag to slow the plane down. As in this design is very clean and doesn't slow down easily. I'm no engineer, but I don't think it increases lift. Doug "Hawkeye"

Re: X wind landings in a Q diff toe or hand brakes

I have finger brakes in the center console because I have dual sticks. Some have them outboard. Toe brakes are more traditional, but I believe you get use to what you have. I knew where they were when

Re: Thrust Line & Belly board

That is what I thought I was picking up too. So... that means that there sort of are "flaps" on a Q? What effect on speed? From the numbers I have heard, I am wondering if it is much. Bill

Re: X wind landings in a Q diff toe or hand brakes

Doug, sounds pretty hairball glad youare around to talk about it and don't have damage to repair. ? your differential brakes are they toe brakes or hand controls. i am used to toe brakes so I have

Re: Thrust Line & Belly board

I am a rookie also, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong: I believe the belly board acts basically like flaps in a conventional airplane. It increases drag and lift. With it deployed, you

Re: X wind landings in a Q

Like I said. I don't want to start with the rudder thing because mine came this way and my point is I'm glad I had differential brakes which I believe is part of "setting them up properly". I don't

Re: Thrust Line & Belly board

I am sure this is a dumb rookie question, but what does a belly board do?

Re: X wind landings in a Q

Doug, When Brad and I returned from Oshkosh last year we landed at Wendover, UT. The runway was 120 degrees and the wind was blowing 170- 180 degrees at 38 gusting to 42. No problems (standard

Re: Thrust Line & Belly board

Mike, You are correct. Not much detail except the layup was from several plys of fiberglas BID laid on so the each bid was at 45 degrees to the next one. The whole layup is about 1/8" thick and has

Re: flaps on a Q2

Thanks Doug. I watched these airplanes (Q1 and Q2) back when they first came out to around the time when QAC died. I always thought they were a beautiful, and a wonderful idea with the main attraction

Re: flaps on a Q2

Those of us who fly these airplanes have been trying to repair a bad reputation for some time now. They are a tail dragger that lands fast. Get time in a tail dragger, respect the airplane, talk to

Re: X wind landings in a Q

Thankfully I had 150' wide by 7000' long runway. I used it all. The female controller came on after I was down and said "That wasn't fun was it? Now I remember why I don't fly." I'm impressed with

Re: flaps on a Q2

I am looking for a kit or a finished plane. Always liked the Q's but was hoping someone found a way to incorporate flaps or flaperons or something to slow it down on landing. I always thought they
