Thanks guys! I’m starting to think this is doable and within reason. I’ll start with practicing on hearing/bending plexiglass while designing a hole to cut in lower cowling. I have the light and

That’s one sweet, fast Q200 Corbin! Bruce

Jim, Much appreciated! I will definitely give this a try during my next cruise flight! For others, here is the video Jim is referencing: https://youtu.be/mgeFuvCYIaw

Hey Corbin, The next time you are out testing your Q for performance numbers, try this method for a few more knots. In level flight, trim the elevators down just a little and reflex up just a little.

Cool story, Terry! And I already thought your plane was tiny. That is REALLY tiny. Cheers, Jay

This model of my airplane was originally done by Robert Blaschke of Slovakia. He contacted me and asked for some detailed photos and info so he could make a 1/72 model. I almost didn't respond
