Re: Tri-Q finish weight and balance estimate
Exactly. My wife won the Copperstate Dash three years in a row and took the Sun 100 in her Vari Eze. No BS. We we know a few things about making things go as fast as possible. :)

Re: Tri-Q finish weight and balance estimate
Sure - Just organize one and they will come. Richard K and I are two Q-listers who have organized races. You can make it three.
I think there is one in Washington state.

Re: Tri-Q finish weight and balance estimate
Sam I notice every one of those races are back East. Texas is the closest. Any change of holding them in the West Coast some time?

Speed is best verified in a SARL race. When the flag drops, the B.S. stops.

Re: Tri-Q finish weight and balance estimate
I call BS on a tri Q going 205. He didn't put the units in so maybe it's in a dive or maybe he's using kilometers per hour! Maybe an AS calibration is in need?
Happy new year.

Re: nylaflow question
Nice job.
I took my nylaflow all the way to the brake, but installed a sleeve of larger nylaflow in the gear leg so I can easily change the tube at any time. Has not been changed since 1995 at this

I would flox a couple of nut plates into the foam then install a screw in them with a long shank and put some vaseline on it. Glass around the screw with your layups. # layers should do it. Unscrew

We are in Bakersfield CA and actually just moved to MIT in Shafter with a new hanger. The home of Strega and some really nice airport folks. You are all invited out whenever you want to come.
