Hi, I´m new in the group, I´m from Argentina. I want to know if it is posible to use in a Q1 a Rotax 277, 337 or a Mosler (35 HP). Some of you have experience with this kind of engine? Thanks ind

James, did you arrive at the +3 degrees in static conditions? If so, that would not be accurate. Under live taxi tests it would be much more. Sorta like trying to hold 50# weight with it not moving,

Peter, I have confirmed no restiction to the carb, when I get it to 2650 its 3/4 throttle and just falls off as it is getting to much or not enough gas,no back firing or anything.I have a guy

Jim, Sorry Jim, I see I didn't answer all your questions: I took the project over when it was 80% complete about 5 years ago. Then I started the last 80% of the work ! For the last three years I've

Hi Peter, Posted a few last night under "Dawie's Quickie". Is your radiator also behind the cockpit? Cooling is the one thing that is still not good enough on mine. Dawie

Hi Ryan, A Rotax 912 reduction box. the previous builder already had that on when I took the project over. It isn't an easy box to convert, as it is normally very integrated into the rest of the 912

Hi Jim, Thanks for the nice words. Yes the tail wheel is still the original, but the tailspring is a new custom design. (The original kept de-laminating in tortion). I will consider quite a few

Exactly. The canard flexes 3 degrees going from no load to gross so if you set it at +3 when constructing you may not have to adjust the camber after building the airplane. James Postma Q2

Rich, I had some similar problems and had Revmaster dyno my engine. Joe said the carburetor was too big. Fuel is not the problem it is the air. Instead of downsizing the carb, I upsized the

Hey Earnest! I don't run the boost pump all the time. Just gravity feed will work for cruise. I also don't run the pump full time for transfer either but then I have 2 transfer pumps (1 with 3/8"

Jim, Sorry to hear about your mom. My condolences. If you have not been to Arlington, you may want to go next year and pass up other events. It is the third largest EAA flyin and they are

They could buy the airplane less engine and instruments Darrell

Dawie, What are you using for a reduction unit? Ryan Tri-Q1 Behalf Of installation? powered aircraft. Africa. in overhead, -------- --------

I am not at the plane, but 3 degrees works out close to 20 to 1. If the axel is 8 inches, I should be able to drop the outside and raise the inside (including braking system) each 3/16ths to

Dawie, Congratulations on your first flight. Those are the defining moments in life. I bet you still have that smile all over your face. When did you start construction? You've done a real nice

This is a great flyin which is lots of fun with a lot of interesting airplanes. Note the exotic blue striped airplane on the upper right. This flyin is held every two years. It starts on Friday and

Larry, Ummmm, I hope I'm misunderstanding your intent, but you don't need +3, just zero at gross weight. The +3 was a new-construction guideline to make the wheelpant attachment.... Keep up the good

I quickly posted a few 800 x 600 photos under "Dawie's Quickie" Hope I havent broken any rules in the process.

Hi Peter, I do have some photos that I can show you. I've never posted photos on the group, and will look into how do do it. Alternatively I can send some to you offline.

The radiator is just behind the fuslage joint at around 45 deg, with a huge Naca duct under the belly, and the exit on top of the fuselage a bit further back.
