Re: Q-200 Touch-down speed.

I fly a TriQ-200 and have landed at the grass strip at Leeward Air Ranch in Ocala, FL several times. Granted, it is a wide, 6000'+ runway that is well groomed. Had no problems either

Re: Q-200 Touch-down speed.

Patrick - I have never landed on grass, nor will I ever. I know a couple of guys have, but it just seems like a bad idea, for me at least. For one, I think it would cause too much drag on the

Re: Q-200 Touch-down speed.

Wow...I was thinking that mine was already kinda "hot" with approach speed of 75ish...MPH (with bellyflap). Didnt realize that I should have been expressing gratitude. So has anyone some insights

Re: Overconfident tail dragger pilot

That looks like the mess at OSH a few years back. The pilot of the RV was killed if I remember correctly. Or maybe the pax. I do remember a fatality. ALWAYS VIGILANT!

Thanks for that Jim. I reckon I’m not far off that maybe 81-82 ish. I might try to shave a few knots off tomorrow when I have another go…….. Cheers Chris (G-CUIK)

Re: New Video

Hi Mike, does that software have an option to make it look like I’m tracking straight down the runway instead of taking up the whole width? Cheers Chris Rayner (G-CUIK)

Re: New Video

Hi Brad, I use a GPS Tracker that stores GPS data every second and then Dashware software makes the overlay. Pinnacle Studio 16 adds the sound and editing. We flew today to Venice FL for lunch so

Re: Project available, but not a Quickie

I have a couple of IGSO-480-A1Fs setting in the barn. Think that would be enough to push that lump through the air? Notably underpowered but if we strip her down.... Phil Lankford

Re: New Video

Hey Mike, Great job! The cam on canard works very well (someoscolation on the canard it seems) and the GPS data looks excellent! You'll haveto tell us how you did such a nice job of laying GPS data

Re: Q-200 Roll trim.

Hi Jim, so yours is a custom made trimmer? I use mine during flight to re-trim – Gary McKirdy reckons (correctly I suspect) that I have a slight mis-match between lift on the right and the left, so

Re: Q-200 Roll trim.

Hi Bruce, it’s not so much that I can feel slop in the controls, although there is a small amount of slack at the bottom of the stick where it attaches to the aileron torque tube. But when I hold

Re: Q-200 Roll trim.
