Actually depending on who you use for the AW certification prop clearance does matter. The FAA here would not sign off on AW for a tri gear Sonex due to the prop only having a light 5" of clearance.

I have 11 inches of clearance, but I am in a tri-gear and my prop is 54 inches in diameter. If I ran Jim’s prop length, I would be 8 inch clearance. I think you do not want 3 inch clearance even if

Sounds like you tail dragger guys are getting away with a few more inches than the TriQ folks.

ZZzzzzzzzzzz....... I run a 60/72 Catto Prop. Tailwheel first landing from the beginning, hopefully mains after that. Same prop since 2001. No issues. zzzzzzzzzzZZ. Jim N46JP Q200 Sent from Outer

Caveat: this doesn't apply to experimental. But it's the standard for certified and fully aligns with what most people seem to think is prudent. You are the ultimate decider though.

(...yawn...) Ok, I'm awake now, my bad. I've got a 60"x68" prop on mine and have no problems with ground clearance. I haven't measured it with the fuselage level. I'll try to do that next time I'm

Chris, Im not qualified to answer but 3 inch Prop /Gnd clearance Doesn't sound enough ! .. The Flying Q guys are asleep on this one !? .. Seeing the Exhaust coming out of the Cowling is

Is it true? Does one's name have to be Dave to fly a pure Q2?

Dave Smith Very nice Q Tour of your plane. I was very interested in your construction, especially the engine installation and baffling. Beautiful job. Thank you.... Dave Dugas

Dave Smith I really enjoyed watching and listening to your video! Fantastic, low weight, beautiful Quickie! In a shameless plug we could use more great stories and aircraft at Field Of Dreams next

I have these to start with. Probably need some touch-ups. Cheers, Jay

What are we looking for in prop to ground clearance?.  Does the Q do a flair on landing or does it stay relativley flat?  With the water line level I have three inch clearance with a 58 inch prop.

Richard, I am hoping that someone will step up and format a full-size drawing that can be downloaded, maybe as a .dxf type file. Maybe you for instance? I think what needs to happen is to first get a

I've been thinking about that vacation we had south of Tampa in October now for a week!

Nope. Not suffering. But that’s all I can say for now. 😎 Bruce

That is true. Tulsa has over 130 main water breaks. We are located about 40 miles West of the city. Any city from here South have few preparations for polar winters. Never seen Houston with snow on

Thank you Sam. I'll be making a study of them late at night when no one is looking!!😉

A "FrankenBird", Chris. The O-235 installed is heavier than the O-200. Do you know how the Canadian authorities worked with this aircraft and Mr.Mc Andrew and the registrations? I believe there may

Sounds like you could just set that prepreg outside these days, Vern 😊 Cheers, Jay

Sam, I am not currently building, but studying the core and carbon process and interested in the LS-1 specifications. I have viewed the LS-1 Canard Plans Templates.jpg and found the resolution is
