Hi Kevin, I don't think those compression numbers mean much. I've seen engines fly well with 20/80 compression's! You might have been having valves sticking or something else going on. I put new

Glad you're back up and running Kevin. Quite an ordeal, but hopefully you now have your confidence back to fly again! Paul

I have not written a flight report for quite some time. I flew around the pattern on 5-23-19. I had intensions of flying for an hour or so, but once again I lost power shortly after take off. I had

Scott Swing designed the nose gear. Velocity aircraft in Fla. I think Richard at Fast Little Planes has the gear legs now. You out there Richard? Kevin Boddicker TriQ 200 N7868B 481 hrs Luana,

Anyone have a diagram or the instructions for building the nose gear of a Tri-Q? I've searched the triq conversion documents over and over and can't seem to find the directions for building the actual

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
