Just a quick question for all Ottawa goers. In planning the trip down I have had trouble finding a car rental place in Ottawa. Does anyone know of a good place there? We are planning a quick trip

Barry, Ottawa is awfully small and may not have rental cars. Maybe a taxi would do the job for you (if they have one...call the chamber of commerce). Or you could fly into Industrial at Olathe which

Jon, I think it means that you have some air leakage around the hinge. The higher-pressure air along the lower surface finds its way through the hinge slot and makes a little jet or invisible geyser

Was that on the Q1 or Q2, GU or LS-1 canard? Mike C.

Ed Don't be sorry. You are asking the questions I want to ask. I'm at the "pre VG" stage, and am noting this discussion very carefully. Neil ( and probably several others in lurke mode)

Hi Jon, You have some great questions below. I hope you get answers. I have only had one flight so I would like to put off experimenting with VGs. When your tell-tails go nuts with a little up

Paul - thanks for the feedback. Very interesting! Since you've obviously solved the problem would you kindly tell us what you did?!?! :-) I'm definitely interested in your video and the thought of

If I remember correctly, early Quickie Newsletters or Quicktalk Newsletters advised against spanwise elevator gap seals, because they created a severe 'Dutch Roll' tendency that could get out of

Jon, I put tufts on my canard (left side outboard where I can see them) and I do not see this behavior. I've got an LS-1 like Larry's and I don't see his behavior either. Mine seem to be fairly well

Ed, My previous message did not address your questions. So..... IMHO (and I'm no aero engineer), as long as the VG's are in attached airflow, the drag penalty will be the same no matter where they

Ed, I would like to perform some tests on VG placement. Currently, mine at at 50% and my canard does not work right. IMHO, the airflow should not separate so severely and so early. I would like to

Thanks everyone for the VG feedback. I plan to move my VGs to the 50% line. They are currently at about 40-45% back. The plane has flown briefly only once and it was no rocket ship, the hope is the

David, I'd have to look to be positive but am pretty sure that is where my spinning tuft is located. What does this mean/imply??? Jon Finley Q1 N54JF - 1835cc VW Q2 N90MG - Subaru EA-81 DD

Yes. There are two (underside and side) located on the Q-Performance page (http://www.egroups.com/group/Q-Performance) under Files. The front-side image is on the QBA web site under Photos. Jon

Cool idea!! Mike C.

I too would like to get in a ride from one of you gentleman if time allows. I am for sure making it down this year whether flying or driving, I will be there. I would be more than happy to help with

Jon Didn't you have a site showing the Quickie underside with the pressure (color) bands? Larry

Larry, Those spinning yarns at midspan are probably plus or minus about 20 degrees in line aft from the mid-span elevator hinge, no? David J. Gall

Ed, The drawing for the Dfly does not show a side view. How are you assuming those dimensions are the max thickness? Also a Dragonfly is not a Q. But the maximum thickness appears to be near or at

Doug is referring to the Gas Chits that the FBO sells to you for $1.00 each. Your job is to reward any pilot who gives you a checkride, or helps you in some other significant way by giving him one (or
