Could get someone killed? I suspect that the designers knew a bit more than you or I do. I'd be interested in hearing what those who are actually flying with the GU canard have to say, perhaps they

Try to stick with the same type tires ya got. I'm still running the Chen Shins, I think they are 500x5's. I have the small tire option wheel pants and they are real tight. All 500x5's are not

Corbin, I used the stock “cross hatch” 4 ply tires forever but recently switched to the ribbed 8 ply Tires sold by AC. They are much more robust tires but smaller the dia. tires drop the plane

Might want to check the rotors to be assured they are not warped.

Thanks.....I was considering the AIR HAWK tire so good to know.

Sounds like you have your brake pad issue figured out. If not, I think I have the original Airheart brake pads, never used, from my Q-200 kit and I will see if I can locate them. Tri-Q kit came with

Great thanks. I will try the soft ones to maintain better performance when colder outside.

It really doesn’t matter whether you use soft or hard pads. Their cheap, get both types any try them. I don’t see s lot of difference in performance. Jim N46JP - Q200

Hey Sam! Airheart is the company I am speaking with and they are wanting to know which ones (hard or soft). I think I am going to with soft as it looks to resemble the pads on their now. I was back

Looks like you've got larger tires than I do. I use the original 11x4.00-5 size tire inflated to 50 psi. Paul Fisher Q-200 N17PF

Corbin. Forget the hard or soft pads, I think that's old old documentation. Simply get the Airheart pads from wherever you can find them. I think there is an Airhart manufacturer, maybe in Minnesota,?

While working on brakes, it is a good time to replace my tires (500-5). Any suggestions for brand/model and ply rating? I think 4 ply is the most common on the Q200's but that's me just going off

My brakes are Hurst Airheart 150 x 1 hydraulic caliper brakes and I am wanting to replace the pads. It looks like the parts diagram shows hard pads (linings) for soft pads and I was curious what most

Wow Allan, that's a very general statement that could get someone killed. One thing I never liked about the GU canard was that the Spar ended 4 feet from the end of the wing and back 20+ years ago I

VG’s work!!! Before I could sense moisture by the stick before mist on the canopy. Standing Puddles would form ahead of the elevator as you get the sinking feeling. With VG’s mist and light rain

Your plane had a RevMaster first. (Never ever flew that way). Mark’s first venture into moisture/rain with GU was interesting. He was in front, we saw a large cloud ahead and headed for it. He

Hey Jim, Always great to learn more about the history. I purchased from Jason and Martin in March of this year. The recommended 22 VG’s each side was deemed excessive so 11 each side were

Hey Corbin, Mark Summers built your plane here in Livermore. We built at the same time and I flew chase on his first flight. I also found the 0200 you now run. Mark is retired from Livermore Lab

Remember there's nothing wrong with the GU canard that VGs won't fix. It is very strong and doesn't need the carbon spar.

Awesome, either way I would love to have a second set if eyes on the project, so ill get up with you off the group. Thanks Dustin Sent from my Windows 10 device
