Jay, John Roncz came up with the solution to this many years ago. It’s called the “Roncz canard” in the Long-EZ community. It’s an excellent airfoil, but particularly important is what he

Follow the plans for construction of the sparrow strainers (meaning plywood support arm cores per plans, then reinforced with glass/epoxy lapped onto the elevator per plans). I added an extra ply of

Yes. Radius the arms that mount to the elevator so that the BID attaches to them without sharp angles. Then scuff up the elevator where they attach at least 1" on both sides of the arms. Be sure

You are right Charlie! Put that on the "placard" for things not to do! And never with Honey Lamb in the right seat! B Bruce roll the RV problem solved. I know Tex Johnson rolled a 707 so why not

Justa quick question. Can anyone recommend a reliable adhesive to attach the Sparrow Strainers to the elevator considering the constant high loads. Thanks. Jeff Bevilacqua DF MK H.

Jay and Michael, You are both correct in saying be ready for changing flight conditions when changing the sparrow strainers. I have lots of experience with those changes when 1st setting up the

Thanks for the cool tuft study data, Bruce. My nerdiness must be rubbing off on you, or maybe you are just retired and want something time consuming to do. Seriously, That is an interesting

Bruce, You are exactly right in what you've stated so please be extremely careful in pursuing this avenue; only add one or two VG's at a time as you test this out. With that said, keep these two

Hi Jay! Not sure I really care to know. Either way I will still be aviating in both and won't put any more sound insulation in either one. (more weight) On a side note I have been doing some tuft

That’s a good idea. Similar is available for Android. It will be important to use the same phone (mic) sensor location for each test Rick Hole

Hi Bruce, If you have an iPhone it has an app available that measures abient noise level. You could give that a try. Cheers, Jay Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Bruce Crain <jcrain2@...>

I have not noticed which one is quieter. Will try to do that in the future. Trouble is remembering how loud the other plane is between switches. I will tell Charlie hello for you Dr Mike! Bruce

Should say "I have NO problem believing the Q's are quieter.."

Hi Mike, My RV6A is noisy. I have a Clark headset modified for active noise reduction but my new Zulu 3 is quieter. I have a Lycoming O-320 E2D 150 with a metal Sensinich prop. I have problem

I flew in a RV4 recently and I think the inside cockpit of the RV is a lot noisier than a Q200. I'd expect the fiberglass sandwich to dampen some noise. Any other opinions? Fly Safe, Mike

Charlie Calivas gave me the first ride I ever had in an RV6, so, I've been in your airplane! I've designed new main wing airfoils for the Q-200 but I'd be very nervous about using them. Canard

Sweet! Hope you design a mach .5 airfoil for the Quickie guys Wouldn't that be sweet! I still have my TriQ 200 but I went over to the "Dark Side" when my hanger mate Charlie Calivas sold me his RV

Thanks for posting all these articles lately Larry; each one is a gold mine. Keep'em coming! -- -MD #2827 (still thinking about planning on visualizing how to finish building)

Hey all, Cool video Jerry . . . I’m going to be that guy for a second here. Please keep this email group directly related to quickies. There are loads of great Facebook groups with fun videos and
