For years I've had the number 0.4 sq ft for the Q1 stuck in my head (yeh, I know, in my dreams!!). Your query caused me go looking for the source. So far, the first tantalizing tidbit I've found was

Paul I couldn't find the post you mentioned in the archieves. You don't recall 45-45 time or the rate? Dave

Umm, Dave, Where'd you get that 1200 fpm climb rate calculation? I think you forgot to factor in some things... like the prop efficiency and the (flat plate) drag... :-) David J. Gall

Ed There are a lot of variables with Vg's You have: Size Shape Spacing Angle to relative wind Placement on Surface (were to place on wing) Mounting method and probably more I haven't thought

Jeff, A friend of mine named Les Hidebrand lives in Winterhaven, Fl in the winter months. Give him a call at 941-293-2513. Can't hurt to ask. Tell him I sent you. His Q200 is for sale last I

3 goes in to 5 about once...... Beverly Hillbilly's - Jethro Bodine Cheers Dave (double naught spy)

Yup each airplane will have its own actual number due to construction. And a calculated flat plate is going to have spread (aka fudge factor) that is going to depend on a couple of things. If your

Jeff, Welcome aboard! Sometimes this list gets real quiet for a while, then it heats up again. Give it time.... For the builder list, try joining the QBA. It's $20 a year for a builders list and 6

Is there a list of builders and people flying Quickies that I could look up to call to see some projects or to meet some people. I am mainly on this list to learn as other are and I do not quite

Dave What the heck is a "gozintas" session?

This maybe a very dumb question, Is there a 4-seater Q2? Has anyone tried to modify the two place to a four place? I saw where someone had put retrac gear on their Q2, so why no a four place?

Dave, Wouldn't that be a useless number anyway? After all, with such variation in the way each airplane is built and the large effect that even small changes can have on such a clean airframe, I

Hi Larry, It is the standard overhead projector material. I would guess it is about .003-.004" thick. I used 100% silicon caulk (clear,thick stuff). To apply the caulk I used tweezers to hold

I worked out roll-rates for different speeds on my Q1 and posted these last year. Suggest you check the archives. Cheers, Paul Dave King <KingDWS@...> on 09/23/2000 11:38:11 PM Please

Just wondering if anyone has run across a published figure for the flat plate area on a Q1. I did a "gozintas" session and came up with a number of 1.05 square feet. Any ideas, guess's etc? Dave

Ed You have any idea how thick this Mylar is? How did you stick then on? Larry

Hi Dave, If you have a PPG paint dealer in town get some DX330 Solvent, it'll remove silicone based chemicals and won't have any effect on the foam core. Use two clean rags, one to apply small amounts

Honestly, every year it's something with you, Terry! I'm only kidding. You are doing the right thing. Don't push it too hard. If it was meant to be ready for Ottawa you wouldn't have run into
