Re O200 conversion for a Q2, Mark Summers made a very successful conversion of his Revmaster Q2 to an O200 powered Q2/O200. He did not change the canard, but did add the Ohio State Voyager style vg's.

Um yeah... with two-up, that leaves you about 30 lbs for fuel- if the plane doesn't exceed the advertised empty weight.

Right there is the most telling reason why you don't want to fly the Revmaster. When I had the Revmaster I limited my passenger weight to 400 lbs. 200 for me, 200 for the passenger.

Thanks. I do worry about weight especially because i weight 240 dry. And all of my friends and potential passengers are around the same if not more.

IMHO, the 120 hp Jab would get you there without much (if any) weight penalty, but there are cooling issues with the Jab 3300. Otherwise getting that much power will cost you a lot of weight, or a lot

Hi Pat and everyone. Thanks for your input and all of the concerns on the private chats to. I need to consider all option. But if i end up doing a re-power, while spending all of that time and

For what it's worth, the Jab cylinders are 4140 chro-mo steel (machined from billet), not made from aluminum. They are however painted silver so maybe that's how they might be mistaken for aluminum.

My buddy runs a 3300 in his Arion Lightning. He sets his cruise power to 5 GPH. If you push the throttle all the way in he burns 12 GPH and doesn't go much faster. I think the Bing(?) carbs are set

Anyone who likes airplanes, especially homebuilt ones is on my "good" list. :) Pat

Hi Jeff, If you decide to go to the O-200. I have the original QAC baffles (pre-cut) and the original QAC prop extension that you could probably talk me into selling, but not before I am convinced

I am using the RWS fuel injection and ignition system, which I believe is no longer available. Electronic ignition is supplied by Chevy LS1 coils and goes to the bottom plugs and my magneto goes to

You should count on your flying ability more. All engines are prone to failure- ALL of them. I had a crank bust in half while on a missed approach, in a Cherokee 180 that had just come out of annual.

I dont feel as much fear of an engine loss in my kitfox 3 as my approach speed is around 35 to 50 mph and i can put in down almost anywhere in 300 feet or so, but the Q? Coming down at 80 to 90 mph?

Ah, well there you go! Pat

That sounds line a really long way to go about extending one's TBO. How about buying the latest generation of Revmaster engines, the 2331cc R2300, that's worked out the issues of valve readjusting and

My q2 already has the LS1 canard. So i think im ok with an o 200 conversion .

It might be easier to convert to a triq than build a canard. On Oct 20, 2014 12:11 PM, "Patrick Panzera editor@... [Q-LIST]" <Q-LIST@...> wrote:

I believe the plane in question is already built as a Q2. Are you recommending that he change the engine and canard to Q200?
