I took a 275 lb passenger for a ride and found mild PIO conditions until I remembered to go down on the ailerons with the Reflexer. Prior to this I'd never used down ailerons. That made the plane

Bruce----------  Sounds more like a W&B issue than just weight placement.  With my airplane sitting level, there is only 5 lbs on the tail wheel.  Most of the well flying airplanes have around

Approach adding 15 lbs aft carefully. One of our TriQ200 had 9 lbs added way back in the tail. It made the Q almost uncontrollable with two in the cockpit as it wanted to PIO badly! Bruce

Finished the W&B today. I need an extra 15lbs on the tail due to the front end weight. With the 15 lbs the empty weight is 754.  With 160 lb pilot and full header it is at 971 lbs and 

Chris my Q200 Taildragger weighs 740 lbs empty and 1340 gross. The cg. is from 41.7 to 47.5, if I remember correctly. Fully loaded, the airplane is at the aft cg. of 47.5. Pilot only, 5 gal. header

Hi Chris, Don't use the Q2 POH. The Q200 expanded the cg range from 42-44 in the Q2 to 42-47.

Still doing my W&B.  I have most of my hair pulled outand was reading the Q manual.  On page 4-3 it shows the sample loading problem. It has the total weight being 822 and the moment being 36607.7.

Victor hadn't updated the group on this so here is what I had heard from him. Upon inspection the crankshaft appears to in fact have damage as well as associated bearings.

Revanoorerz caught ya over thar in Enid!? The Chinese have been buying up green country acres as far back in the woods as possible and building Pot growing greenhouses like crazy. They don't realize

Hi Chris, No experience with the Seahawker (other than drooling over the design some years ago). As far as your Q goes, I am sure you were quite careful in setting up your incidence, but I can check

Jay----------  Thanks for the transponder antenna note. I'll move it tomorrow.  My airplane is built as close to the plans as possible with the addition of the +1 degree on the canard.  What kind

One other thing, Chris. There was some discussion on how plane responds (reflexor, landing etc). When Paul is talking that I was nodding my head, since I have measured his decalage, and what he does

Thanks Sam and Chris for this enjoyable tour. Sorry I missed the live version. Only one comment for Chris right now. I would suggest moving the transponder to the other side of the fuselage. The

Wonderful video! I couldn’t be there for virtual! Had to go to prison! But that’s another story! Lots of sharp mods! Hoping for the best Chris! You modulated very well Paul! Bruce and Honey

Thank you for posting and thank you Chris for presenting. Very cool plane! I wanted to be watching live, but had a chance for a flight lesson in a Champ, and had to take it. See everyone next time,

Watching it now. I've been waiting for this one for the subaru tech.

Chris packed a lot of innovations into his four-year build. Really impressive. Be sure to check it out. https://youtu.be/mhARVpPf9QA

Thanks Sam/Paul, Wont be able to make this at the scheduled time Saturday, but I will definitely catch the replay when it is up on Youtube! Cheers, Jay

I think I'd have to put one of those Turbine engine exhaust stacks on this bad boy to freak everyone out! Mike Dwyer YouTube Videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/FlyMeAirplane/playlists Q200 Website:
