Re: Finally
Congrats Chris. You are the first person I know of that did two first flights on the same day! Fantastic!
I think your Q is set up just fine using reflexor for takeoff. Overall you will fly better

Re: Finally
Hey Chris congrats on both flights!
Hope the snow holds off there for a while still so you can enjoy all that hard work you've put in.
Hope you have a good heater

Re: Forward slide canopy
Jim, if you don't mind I will call you later in the week. I want to take some measurements to see where I already have bolt holes located. I imagine I will have to drill new.

Re: Forward slide canopy
I added one piece needle bearing assemblies with stainless washers either side of my mount bolts (AN 4 bolts like Jim’s) in order to make them smooth and durable. So far so good.
Cheers,
Jay

Re: Forward slide canopy
The following link is the manual for the KR-Super2. In the section for the canopy there is a pretty detailed section on a gullwing canopy that was interesting reading.

Re: Forward slide canopy
Nick,
Like Jerry, my documentation wasn’t the best. I was more interested in getting the plane flying. My setup
is a one off. Others have used it since.
If you are interested, give me a call and I

Re: Forward slide canopy
Looks like plans for the Jim P. version are fairly well documented, now that we know about the 1/4" thickness dimension:
Q-talk 128 - Swing Bar Canopy Installation
Note the middle where it talks about

Beautiful job of documenting. Now I see where most of those 30+ years time was spent. My documentation is on a napkin.

Re: Forward slide canopy
Jim, my original canopy hinge was similar yet less sturdy. It had 1 piece of aluminum on either side and a makeshift hinge up front. This design allowed the canopy to rock back and forth and

Re: Forward slide canopy
Good evening Nick,
My canopy design works well and is solid. I suspect the one you referenced used thin 1/8” aluminum stock and was flimsy, which made opening and closing the canopy feel awkward.

A few people some years ago put in slides as you describe,Nick. They still require a small version of the swing over arms in order to have clearance for the slides. I think that they never really
