Good advice, Jim. Phil

Good morning Phil, Hope you had a good Thanksgiving Day. When I learned to fly in 1965 it was always without landing lights. And yes we did spin recovery as well. “I was instructed that you

I had good use of my landing light a few times while coming into KRNM just after dark. Here is another good opportunity to plug one of my favorite electronic gizmos. If you fly with iPad or iPhone

I have fear flying behind an o200 at night. But night flying is dependent on a lot of thing. I wouldn’t consider flying over mountains at night but flying over a bunch of cornfields on a full moon

Very cool idea. Speaking of night flights, do you have any fear flying at night behind a VW? Mine has nav lights on it, but I thought I would strip them off to save weight….. The bigger question is

Thanks, Ill get some ez-poxy on the way. Dustin Sent from my Windows 10 device

Dustin, The West system was designed for encapsulating wood to make it impervious to rot. It has a lower softening point than EZ-Poxy which is important in structural applications. Use EZ-Poxy for the

Thx for explanation. Should be fun tinkering with it. Keep us tuned. J

Hi Jerry, You won't be looking at this gizmo. As you approach to land it will be beeping as you get to 20 feet up, a slow beep, 10 feet up faster beep, 1 foot up a steady beep tone. It will help

I know that I am old, which is why I am old school, and I can understand doing it for the fun of doing it. That’s the reason we all like experimental airplanes. But, I like to be looking outside

I tried that in a Europa. Unfortunately it does not work because of the airflow under the aircraft or the forward movment. However, there is a cheap time of flight laser range finder available from

I'll be looking for you on shark tank. Dave D Sent from Samsung tablet

Will be interested to see if this works. I bought two of those thinking I would install one of them. Then I opted for the “drone” infrared laser rangefinder instead and wired it to a direct

I don’t personally understand what that would be required other than for novelty. Q seems to be a really easy airplane to judge height in. On the subject of fancy gizmos. One thing that has been

You know how I like electronic gizmos... For a year I've been using this electronic backup beeping thing on my car. The Chinese sell them for as low as $7 (gota love the Chinese). With the car I

😉 I was actually just wandering if the West Coast 105 Epoxy is an acceptable equivalent to the safe-t-poxy stuff that is mentioned in the builders manual?😀 As for the types of repairs that Ill

I have been working on a Q2 for 3 1/2 years as I bought it with air frame mostly completed. Now have engine installed and am wiring the avionics. Fairing fuselage needs to be completed as well as

hoxdesigns@..., Would you mind sharing your identity? Who are you? Where do you live more specifically? It sounds like you are not far from me and EAA chapter 84. I live in SE Everett area and

Charlie, I'm not suggesting to repair a damaged aircraft like this. I was under the impression someone was removing paint and primer and they were worried about taking off too much glass. One could

Hi Eddy, I am suggesting your developed method of repair is not appropriate for our aircraft. A proper repair is to: Remove all paint and fairing to expose the damage. Remove damaged plies and core.
