If it's actually a Q-200 it'll have factory-built tapered tubular carbon fiber spars, that are semi-exposed in the cockpit. Be sure to coin-tap test them inside the cockpit. Pat

Look along the top surface of the canard. Any waviness means probable damage from hard landing (disqualifier unless you want to do extensive repairs). Check log books and see when it last ran (long

Hi and thanks for the add into the group! I'm seriously considering buying a Q200 and am having a buddy take a look at the airplane for me this weekend. I'm pretty familiar with general items to look

According to my modeling, once you reach Vmin the only way to arrest the sink rate is with power, so I can see what you are saying Jerry. Cheers, Jay Scheevel, Tri-Q, still building

Not a chance. But, flying the q200 model in X-Plane a lot would help.

With AOA I can fly final at 80MPH. However final is with power. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

My approach and landing inumbers are the same as Paul’s. Jim Patillo N46JP Q200 1450 hours on my Q

Yet another perspective. ("if you can't say something nice, don'say anything at all") we would all live in a VERY silent world if this were true. In the military and aircraft manufacturing world you

Another perspective. Would anybody send a non pilot on a solo in a q 200 with only 10 hours of instruction? Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Hi. I didn't know about that - love Comanches (my dad had a 180 Comanche)

Finger brakes fit nicely onto the center console and thereby may be used from either seat Phil

Simply get another Airhart master cylinder and use them both.

You thought they only went to 260? In 1967 one PA-24 was modified with a 300 hp Lycoming engine. It did not enter production. I saw this prototype at an exhibition in the mid-70's in the Chicago

"Comanche 300"?;)

What are the master cylinders used for the differential finger brakes? Also can I tie them into toe brakes to give the passenger access to brakes in an emergency? Thanks for any help here.

But, to design a parachute system you want to be able to open it at Vne so put 230 mph in the formula. :) Mike

One other point, Ryan. Your kinetic energy formula is correct, but we are not worried about how much damage one plane does to the ground in comparison to another plane. We should be more worried about

Thanks for he numbers Paul, I have already said I have yet to fly my Q and was operating only with the numbers I read for the Q in an apples for apples comparison. I'm not going to continue to argue a
