You should just put the word “DON’T” on it because whoever is looking at it is already thinking about using it as a step, even though it doesn’t seem to lead to anywhere. Phil

I believe Bruce Crain has his strainers mid span but don't quote me on that I've seen to many Q's over the years to remember them all in detail. Here is a photo of one of ours with a small turn buckle

This is why I am going to put a sticker of Yosemite Sam's pistol, saying BACK OFF! on mine. Cheers, Jay

At a fly and I turned around to see a fellow getting ready to put his foot on my strainer. I had a "NO Step" decal on mine. I hollered at him and he said it says "STEP ON". I immediately removed

Put a NO STEP decal on the strainers. I once had an army officer try and use mine as a step and it broke. Was able to fly it home and the repair was no big deal. I say do it per plans. Like Jay

Hi Matthew, Don't confuse the strainer with a trim device. It is only there to try to even up the elevator control forces. The reason you are experiencing a balancing act to get the plane trimmed up

A few of reasons: 1. To exert the same torque, the attachment arms would have to be lengthened (to retain distance from hinge line) which would make them more fragile. I am aware of at least one

I have seen some that have the strainer at the mid span but in that case they give the strainer more span as it is presumably less effective when out of the prop wash. I have had multiple close calls

Jim---------  The reason I ask about the strainers, is that they look  like a step to look inside to a 10 year old.  On another topic, I was reading some of the old newsletters and saw where one

Why would you do that Chris? The strainers seem to work quite well in the original position. Just curious. Jim N46JP -Q200 - Airborne Today.

I am attaching a photo of the strainers on my dragonfly. They are about fourteen inches from the elevator tip. Any reason why I can't install them on the Q200 in the same position?  Curious Chris

Looking good, stay with it. Kevin --------------------------------------------

Still winter, but still making progress….. Cheers, Jay Scheevel, Tri-Q, still building

Costco sells 2 down throws for $40 look for them. They make excellent travel blankets and pack up very small and are light. Check it

Paul, 2 hair dryers sounds faster. You must have 2 circuits available as each of mine pulls over 15amps?. It took me an hr with 1, I need room for a travel blanket. Jay, I'm traveling (San Francisco

Hi Sam, Point taken. I am not displacing this site, but if this one blows up, the other is already set up, ready to go. If nothing else it will serve as an interim jump to something more to everyones

Here you go Jim. Nothing happening there right now, but if Yahoo blows up, it is live. Just click on the link and ask to sign up. I will approve when I receive it. Or if you prefer, I can just add you

I don't mean to butt in too much here, but I think starting a new user type group is a little premature. As of right now, this Yahoo group is not broken. There is already a forum type section on
