Allan, I bought my Quickie Kit in October 1981 from the factory. It had a single pull lever that when applied set both brakes. I found this to be totally unacceptable in any kind of crosswind. I did

Jim, I have a Super Quickie and you are right, the brakes scare me a little. So far I am still in the taxi phase of learning my airplane. I have no problem with steering the plane, but the braking

My two cents worth, where I disagree with my good friend, Jim. 1. I do use differential finger brakes, with great success. They are positioned right behind the throttle. I let go of the throttle

Hi Jim. I understand that originally the Q2 had differential brakes, & that QAC changed it to a single pull lever. Was their reasoning faulty in your opinion? Regards Allan Farr Q2

Dave, I hear you loud and clear and it's not that we had a better idea or that I'm pontificating. The entire tail dragger world had a better idea. Why don't you see finger brakes on all those tail

You know Jim, it is easy to get so wrapped up in the "I've got a better idea" mode that all other solutions become just noise. It sounds like Wes came up with a neat adaptation of the original single

Jim Patillo N46JP Q200 800 hours in type. So far, even in severe crosswinds, this plane has never deviated from the center line. Bingo! There's a reason. A nosewheel ?? :-)

Hi Tim As a matter of interest, all aircraft become increasingly pitch sensitive as the C of G travels aft, that is why there is an aft limit. There is a safety factor built in, of course, but,

Fellas, I had the opportunity to high speed taxi Wes Isbergs' Q200 Saturday before his first flight and would like to share some info. Even though he did a fair job of controlling the plane down the

It is interesting to discover differences in the Q and Dragonfly as these discussions come up. The Dragonfly's rudder is very effective, in fact the rudder is way more effective than the ailerons in

Or buy a David Clark or Telex and not have to worry about it breaking....not even talking about the one I have for sale, but we have seen so many light speed headsets broke at the shop that I don't

Jeff, Not all Q's are like the one described that would not lift a wing with rudder. My plane easily lifts a wing with rudder. When I want to fold a map I get on the rudder so my hands are

Ron, quit being such a damn tight wad and just purchase a new 30 3G, there are only $585.00! That will give you what you want and it will be new. You can't beat Lightspeed for service warranty and

James, do they have the cell plugin and what is the amount of noise canceling ? If so, let me know how much they offer. Ron Triano South Lake Tahoe, CA The Sonerai is finished and

Ron, I have a couple of Lightspeed headsets I was going to send in for the 30 3g units. Maybe I can set you up for the same price they are going to give me for a trade in. These units are only 2

Allan I have sent you a few pix of your Q2 showing a side view. I'll do a CD of all the Pix I have of your A/C and post iot to you. Send me your address again. neil Allan Farr

From what I understand it depends on how much filler is used on the glass-to-glass join at the trailing edge. If none is used, there is quite a lip. However even allowing for that, my elevators may

Will do - I'll let you know when it's done, probably next week before I can get hold of a camera. Allan

Lightspeed is a good unit. Last year while using a friends 3G (which I liked a lot) the mic boom came loose. I called Lightspeed. The tech guy told me how to disassemble and fix it, also sent me

Allan, I don't think there's supposed to be any curve at all in the GU elevators. My plans don't show any. David J. Gall
