Hi Dave, I watched your video this afternoon. Sorry I couldn’t make the Zoom meeting yesterday. I’ve never run into you anywhere which is kind of strange, since you’re only 30 miles from

If you build the LS1 canard per factory specifications, load the airframe to max gross (say 1,350 lbs.) put you, a real fat guy and full fuel in it, etc. and taxi around for awhile, you will

Thank you gentlemen. I would be most interested in what was worked on and perhaps the resolution will be more Q kits that were parted out as mine was getting completed, or groundloop accident project

All true.. what is being thought of as gasoline melting foam from leaks is not always the cause. Tube spars, like flagpoles, are well known structures. Rutan worked with Jim Bede at what was known

I will see if I still have a copy. I did turn all that over to Tony Warnock with everything else Q related we had. Richard

Richard, do you have drawings for that canard? I'd like to put them up on the files section of the Q list. Sam

Actually there was another option on the LS1 for the spar and build that was not a QAC design. We did do load and twist test with it back when we were trying to bring these planes back to a production

Not to put words in Charlie’s mouth, but I think I heard him say (when he was showing me a structural simulation of the LS1 canard on his computer) that he felt the weak link in the chain was the

I couldn't recall if it was the Wing or Canard..thank you for the clarification, Jay. Here is what Charlie and I both are concerned about.. the Canard, especially in the MKI config, takes a beating

What's the nose wheel size?

Thanks Dave. I enjoyed your presentation Rick Hole

Very informative and fun presentation. (as they all are) Thanks to all who made this happen.

Here is Dave's tour of his very plans built Revmaster powered Q-2. First flight was in 1984. Dave, thanks for sharing with us. https://youtu.be/MHrDOafL2j0 Sam

Hello One Sky Dog, I just spoke to my EAA group and they're interested in these aircraft to be donated to the local high school for assembly. How can I get in touch with them? Thanks

Howdy Jim. You are correct QAC provided my kit to the original Nevada buyer; and I agree with staying to the published MTOW limits..for sure until actual finished surfaces are tested. My "parts

I think that Waddelow load tested his LS1 spar-less canard, but I do not know the limits. Maybe Bruce Crain has that information. The test of the main wing at LVK was in 2008 and tested to a max

Hi Vern, The carbon spar Q200 was introduced by QAC and not Bert Rutan. Scott Swing load tested the spars to failure using a simple method of putting the spar in an elevated aluminum device with

So 84 mph CAS is the number that I compute for level flight in ground effect at 1296 pound GW. I don’t think it should feel mushy, since you will not leave the runway until it is ready to fly. I

The only test was in the news letters. Q Canard was tested in the past with static to 1200 lbs (positive). Sand bags from the local Big Box home improvement center. On release, the tested surface

No reflexor at 1296 lbs. at takeoff. I only use reflexor after landing and at gross in flight cruise to shift cg forward. Jim N46JP Q200 Sent from Outer Space
