Sam, I have one muff for both. Muff has fresh air inlet and two out. One for cab heat and one for cabin heat. Works great as long as the heated carb air travels all the way through the muff. When

Hey Kev! Glad to hear you are safe and sound. I’ve rarely had carb ice but when temp and dew point come together it’s not good. And yes! It makes for a real good butt pucker. I have a temp

Good trip report. I got a question tho... what was the dewpoint? At that temp it would be real easy to get the carb to freeze but shouldn't freeze at high power. Your fuel doesn't have water in it

Fun stuff, eh Kevin? I'm trying to get a handle on your cab heat and cabin heat setup. How about sending a few photos? You have two heat muffs right? There should be one for cabin heat and one for

Had the opportinity to take to the air yesterday. The mission was to meet Paul Fisher at DVN for lunch. Had flown once since signing off my condition inspection and all went well. Forecast was sunny

Carbon monoxide is never our friend. It bonds to the red corpuscles blocking them from moving oxygen. For a better alternative surf up ‘ Infrared tube heater gas ‘

Charlie, thanks. I am considering a Kerosene heater to keep me and the hangar warm, not much epoxy work, but the project is not painted so is there threat of some contamination on composite

Like propane or kerosene ? Propane produces a lot of water vapor, this can react with epoxy cure agents to produce amine blush on the surface of your laminate. Amine blush can be removed by scrubbing

Is there a problem in using Torpedo heaters in workshop/ hangar while working on composite airplane projects? Thanks Sanjay

Thanks Jon and Dan, Looks good. Cheers, Jay Scheevel, Tri-Q still building

Shaun-----------  I don't have a Q but on my Dragonfly I needed to reinforce the area where my heals sit.  After about ten years it was a bit hollow. Drilled it, filled it with micro, and glassed

Hello, The QBA website has been restored and is back online thanks to Dan’s key assistance. http://www.quickheads.com Looking forward, the site will be reworked into a platform that is

I will send you my condition inspection checklist. Seven pages. Sam

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.
