Download AC 20-42C from the FAA web site. it has information about fire extinguishers including how to calculate the amount of Halon for a confined space. The amount needed for fire suppression is

It is worth thinking about a safety installation for the Q. If the crash remains right way up the belly tank is the most likely to be split and in my case the fuel was spread over 20Yd and luckily

Read in a history book, about a Russian fighterplane, the pilots loved the fire supression system, and saved quite a few. The engine exhaust was routed into the aircraft, and as it is depleted

I am carrying a double edged folding saw to cut the glass panel under the canopy . I think it would be hard to cut the canopy. Peter _____ From: Q-LIST@...

Thankfully my plane has a roll bar. Thankfully I had a hatchet. I went inverted on landing once, popped the seat belt, and then broke out the cracked canopy which allowed me to crawl out. Though

Here is another one sold for the car engine compartment. Ideally we get someone to look at this stuff and pick the most suited then maybe we could bulk order for

I found this link by searching on automatic fire extinguishers. There will be others to compare so we could pick the best to suit the q. Peter http://www.safelincs.co.uk/section.php?xSec=77

That would be the cowlings produced by Earnest Martin. He is on this list and should respond in time. Doug "Hawkeye" Humble A Sign Above www.asignabove.net Omaha NE N25974

Important, my basic Q2 has that. Unfortunately, my triQ does not. Unconscious is out of luck. A hard surface crash breaks the canopy. A plowed field probably will not. A poor tool that will work

Just a note of caution before anyone starts experimenting: Mark Waddelow died experimenting with Halon. (Pretty sure that's documented in an old Q-Talk but couldn't locate it tonite.) Halon is not

Kevin, I have posted some pictures of my cowling. See http://www.corvairq.info/Canard%20fairing.htm . However, I have not offered to build copies and I do not have a mold. The nose bowl is

Recenting I saw on someones website a cowling for a Q200 with round inlets and the split line altertered to match the water line. I believe he offered to possibly build some more from his mold. I can

It's Yahoo. All the groups I belong to are doing it. Pat

Thanks Earnest Steve Ham

Something is loading up the Q and Dragonfly sites with repeat messages. Help Pat!

I reported my Q1 crash in QTALK. Gas all over my legs and belted too tight to reach the switches. I saw 2 bubble canopy crashes at Oshkosh which both lit up. If they light up you can only say your

On my 15th flight I went inverted on the ground. The canopy smashed and I had grass in my face. Some kind souls ran out and lifted the plane off of me. IMHO a hammer would do no good. I do carry a

Larry, Since Phil Lankford with a "K" is the only Q-Pilot I know of that survived a serious crash in which he and his wife had gas all over them and lived to talk about it, I thought he might be a

I always kept a small folding crash axe strapped to my shoulder harness. Thank goodness I never had need for it. Jim Doyle
