Re: A VG question, sorry.

I checked the location of my spinning VG. It is almost a twelve inches outboard of the center pivot. I also noted that just before pitch buck most of the VG's on the elevator are spinning in circles

PitchBuck Success!!

Yippee!! I was finally able to get my Q2 to pitch buck! It required the t-tail to be full nose-up and reflexor full nose-up. I was indicating 80mph. It appears that the t-tail has enough force to

Ottawa hotels are full

I just booked what must have been the last room available in Ottowa. I called the numbers on Don's web site and has to settle for a smokers room. If there are any smokers who are trapped in a

Chris, I have also heard that gap seals of any kind on the Q have not improved anything. I have not heard that it had anything to do with flutter. I have never heard of anyone ever experiencing

Re: Question on Ottawa.........

If you are still planning on flying the company Arrow in to Ottawa, then contact the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce (search Yahoo.com). They'll lead you to the rental guys, if there are any.

Question on Ottawa.........

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

Re: Question on Ottawa.........

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

Re: Airflow over the canard

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

Re: A simple STOL mod for Qs?

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

Re: A VG question, sorry.

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)

Re: A VG question, sorry.

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

Re: A VG question, sorry.

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

Re: A simple STOL mod for Qs?

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

Re: A VG question, sorry.

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

By Fisher Paul <FisherPaul@...> · #320 ·

Re: A VG question, sorry.

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

Re: A VG question, sorry.

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

Re: A VG question, sorry.

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
