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

That would work if the fire was in the engine compartment but after a crash I worry more about one of the fuel tanks rupturing or a fuel line separating. Have you seen these fire hoods that give you

One problem I see with a Halon type extinguisher is that you may suffocate... I carry a big camping knife secured on my left side arm rest to break the canopy if need be. Does double duty as a

Did anyone weigh the new Swing nose gear before they installed it? My scale has disappeared. I am trying to discover whether my nose heavy is W&B or reduced lift on the canard because of repairs

I'll check tomorrow. I think I have one at hte hanger. Steve Ham
