I've got a little more time before I need to start worrying about my first flight.  Hopefully late next spring or early summer?  So I've got all winter to slim down.  I had gotten down to around

Exactly. If you could get down to say 190 or less that would help a bunch. Remember the 0200 is only 100 horse and weight is not your friend.Bruce

Jim, It's just as effective a training tool as any of the PC based certified units available, so long as the model is accurate. I don't know if a Q model is available, but if it is, this would be WAY

This might already be on the agenda. I will need to wait until we get more details from Richard. Thanks, Dan Yager QBA Editor www.quickheads.com

What a great idea! However, would it also be possible to include the TRI-Qs in this waiver also? After all the recent TO & landing discussions, there are obviously some significant differences

This might be fun but it certainly not a substitute. If you gain confidence from this, best of luck. J

Anybody have a set of Hurst Airhart brake calipers that they do not want? I'm looking for an unused set. Please contact me off line at sam.hoskins@... or 1-618-967-0016 I need a set

Imraan, Now you have got it! And that soft surface short field take off in a Tri gear spam can will be very useful for the your Tri Q. It is quite a good analogy of how it is. Just remember

All, Richard Kaczmarek contacted me yesterday to say that he is having the FAA come out to his hanger today to discuss a flight training waiver for the Q2 and Q-200. If the waiver is approved, this

Thank you for the correction. I think my confusion was from inadequate differentiation between a TriQ and Q takeoff, which you'd already pointed out. If I'm now correct, the essential difference:

Bruce,   I'm a little over 200 right now (~210).  I'll get to work on that diet right away!  :)  Plus, the more weight I take off now, the more the wife can carry in luggage when we get ready to

Jerry,   Thanks for clarifying that point for me.  It wasn't me that posted the note below (it was Quickieaircraft)?  But that comment did confuse me as I thought the reflexor trailing edge should

Hi Rich,I have the Waddelow wing and canard but have the reflexor. Don't know what the DeVere trimmer is. Is that the T-tail on the vertical?Bruce

Guys, So is anyone on the list flying a Waddlelow canard with a DeVere trimmer these days ? This might help with the lift characteristics as it is futher aft, thus better moment arm than the

Phil, you want the aileron TE _*UP*_. jerry M

I like to cruise with full up ailerons. I get 4mph. Suspect it's due to reducing lift of rear wing so you must go forward with the stick thus reducing lift of front wing. The lift reduction results

I try to keep the passenger under 200. Can plan for a bit less fuel to make that work.Bruce

Woops Typo, 4th to last para should read Ground Angle of Attack not C of G. Sorry Gary -- All the best airfields in Southern Britain are in Northern France. [Non-text portions of this message have

Hi Jerry, For confirmation, I totally agree with your clarifications and additions to my post. Stick forward as I described it could be misconstrued as forward of neutral and that is not what I
