Hey Larry, Have you got a drawing of your bellcrank?? Steve Ham

Hi Jim That helps clear it up. I had always thought a locking tailwheel (& a grippy tyre) would help, it's the first time I have read or realized that someone is using one. AF Allan, Reread my

You are right Bob, thanks for the correction. That is the idea though. Ron Triano N91RT Sonerai IIs, is a bird, it really flies Q200, Back working on it, soon to be flying

Bob, Install a bellcrank a la the JB6, but with a twist. Fab a disk with a cable guide groove on the edge, sort of like an automotive throttle advance on the side of a carb or throttle body. This

...Took the words right out of my keyboard...! (No wonder the Sonerai is twitchy...????) :) David J. Gall

Just backwards, Ron. If you want less angular movement of the tailwheel, you should use a big (long) belcrank on the tailwheel, not a short one. Bob F.

My ratio is not as much as I would like, but is limited by my own requirement that I be able to reach the unlock detent on the full swivelling tailwheel at full rudder. This so I can pivot around a

As I said Dave, something about sheep. Ron Triano South Lake Tahoe, CA The Sonerai is finished and flying finishing the Q200

Hi all, Feels good to introduce myself to some like minded people. I'm purchasing a Tri Q thats been stripped down for inspection over here in rainy blighty. Sure I'll probably have some questions

Ron, Klaus is using his own design and yes I'm sure he's turning hisprop in the 4,000 + RPM range. Dave Richardson is correct my friend. You are still therotical in your modifications until your

It may be the easiest way to an end, but not necessarily the best. If everyone followed this motto, we'd have no six-pack. For that matter, we'd have no tandem wing aircraft as well as no

Hi Ron, I might point out that your disagreements are based on your theoretical observations. The sixpack is based now on repeated experiences by several different pilots. The sixpack bellcrank

I guess the Q2 had many variations in the beginning. A friend gave me his mechanical (cable) brake pedals (Q2) when he put in hyd. brakes. They slipped on my original Q1 rudder pedals easily. A hole

Allen, whichever rudder/tailwheel system you choose to use you can get the same results if you want to change the angle of the tailwheel. Just think of the tailwheel as a gear with a chain to

Since, like most of you, I use a cell phone, I was intrigued by the advertising of headsets with cell phone connections. I had been reading, off and on, about regulations against using a cell in

I wonder what Klaus is using for a prop and what RPM he is turning. Could he be turning the 4400+ like the formula 1s.? Ron Triano South Lake Tahoe, CA The Sonerai is finished and

This same subject comes up more than any other, so I will add my designs also as I already have many times over. 1) I agree with some that toe brakes are much easier and more convienient than

Jim, I enjoy being a tight wad, vat a good deal, As I said already the lightspeed is probably the way I will go. I just enjoy checking out the other competition to prove to myself I got the best for

Allan, Reread my comment. I didn't like the idea of loosing control and not being able to get back to center line way before I installed the brakes. This was obviously the opinion of a lot of others
