Bob, In order to keep the elevator raised do you find the trim spring fairly heavily loaded? I may need to increase my (modified) trim spring setup.? Peter _____ From:

Is changing a tire as easy as it looks? Also, I'd like a picture of the toe brake assy.

Could anyone send me a picture of their toe brake assy please. Austin

Hi Guys, I'll confirm that as Richard says it sits under the main gear and does open at the front like a scoop. Austin

Hi Gerard, If it is the tail dragger, the speed brake is under the tank , whereas I think that Austins is under the main gear if it is like Farrys. It opens at the front as well, like a big

Sorry, Bob, for the memory misfire. Dave [Bob Farnam] Actually, my Q picks up speed when I raise the elevators a few degrees (pitchdown) above 0 degrees and retrim level with the reflexor.

I pull the reflex lever back and this causes the trailing edges of the ailerons to cross neutral and rise above the trailing edges of the

Hi Peter, I'm going to respond to the questions up here instead of inserting items again but I'll put numbers by the items I'm answering. 1) I have my reflexor set to 0 (faired in) to +8 degrees

I've been experimenting with graduated-effectiveness since Jim rated 57RM's taxi a 5. I'm targetting toe-travel for the runway and leg-travel for taxiway, so I have a clear rule for staying out

Peter, Allow me to rebut: Part of the reason it skids is that the plans ratio moves it too much. At higher speeds, the tailwheel is quickly and easily pushed past the limiting slip angle and it

Thanks Larry. To me it seems like an awful lot of complication for a dubious result. The sensitivity of the tailwheel steering increases as the speed reduces. At first touchdown the aircraft

Austin, For the speed limit, in the section about the belly board that was added to my Q-2 construction plans, it says: "We recommend that the board be deployed at a maximum of 110 knots

I would surely hope Jim and others don't quit on answering questions about any part of Q construction. We all need to review all the idea's to arrive at what we think is for each of us builders. I
