As far as I know, the 'exploding' mostly occurs on carbon spar caps. They are conductive, but with a high resistance / impedance. That heats up the carbon, and makes the absorbed water boil instantly.

<This means if you get hit, your plane will basically explode in the air. > If you research the Canard Pusher newsletters you’ll find reports of EZs that have been struck by lighting and they did

I actually made a power point of my trip for a lunch and learn at work shortly after. It has a lot of good details and links on route planning, weather etc. as well as a bunch of pictures. It actually

Hey All, I was reading an Instructable on building a Lightning Detector but the sensor alone was $25. Then I stumbled across a ready made device for $24. This looks like one more thing to stick on

I flew my Quickie up last year, Matt Curcio brought his up this year. He had done some write ups for the Q-list at the time. The trip can be cool or not so cool, be sure to take lots of good juju. If

I'm interested in seeing those two planes... Rik

Jim, I’m interested if you know and have information on them You can PM if you wish Thanks Mike (wannabeQ200) Neidenthal

Curious why the slope for Vx extends to the point 0,0 on the graph? I’m thinking in terms of the derivative of the climb rate, but still no light bulb coming on. Dustin Graber Q2 project

Thanks Sam for the info. I’ll check your blog out also Mike

That would be me. O-200, with 9:1 pistons. Fuel injection and electronic ignition. Catto, I think it it's a 60x72. You can see more at www.samhoskins.blogspot.com Sam Hoskins

Gathered some slower speed data this morning. With full power I cannot hold steady airspeed below 75 mph IAS, or maybe I was just in some turbulent air, could really not tell. Anyway, steady at

Hi, I saw a picture on the q list of a Dynon put on by Sammyq2. If your out there was wondering what engine/prop you are running? Thanks Mike ( Q200 wannabe)

I second that Mike. Bernie Warnke made beautiful fast wood props, 32 laminations if I remember correctly. I had a 60/66 Warnke which I overstressed and is now hanging on the pool room wall but it was

Hi Mike, I have a Marge Warnkee prop, but she's out of business. The best prop I ever had was a Bernard Warnkee prop but he passed away... My prop turns around 2900 RPM at full power sea level so

AWESOME VIDEO. AWESOME HD, AWESOME MUSIC!!!

Mike, What prop are you running with your 0200? Thanks Mike( wannabe) Q200
