Re: sliding BROWNer

J'ever notice that Malechek is a little fussy about his sliding canopy, Mr B. ? If someone is not careful and he gets a little racking, the sliders can come off track. To stop the racking one has to

Great flying airplanes!

Since 2001 wasn't a good year for aviation, I spent the last day of the year, exercising our freedom to fly. Other than being cold (18 degrees F), it was a beautifully clear day with 30-50 miles of

Re: Q-1 - How much Hp is needed

You know I'm really rather picky on what engine I'll let you put on MY kit ;-] Depending on what engine you have to start with you can get an easy 35 hp out of them. The Kohler has a 100 extra cc's

I have an Onan, firewall forward with prop, cowling and motor mounts for sale including the prop. It was last flown about 8 years ago. Stored indoors in a heated space but not pickled. $300 +

Re: Q-1 - How much Hp is needed

Leon, has your project flown at all? If not, you might want to consider reducing the variables somewhat by either purchasing an Onan firewall forward package( they are not exactly a sought after

Re: Q-1 - How much Hp is needed

Having flown behind a so-called Onan 22hp, a Global and a Rotax, I think that 35 horses would be just about right for a Quickie. Seems like the 503's are excessive and need to be restrained by prop

Re: Measurements.camber

Hi Chris W Thanks for your input. I've never seen a pair of ice skates in my life, let alone a frozen lake. I drove past a lake in our south island once, that sometimes freezes over,

Q-1 - How much Hp is needed

I'm planning on picking up my new project next weekend and would kind of like to have it flying about the same time that my brother gets his Tri-Q in the air. I have not yet decided on the "proper"

Re: Prop Questions

As a reference point; a '60s style big American car required about 20 horsepower to maintain 60 mph on a level straightaway, no wind. This is first hand information. I made the measurements

Re: Forward Opening Canopy Plans

Thanks Dave, BTW, a couple of summers ago I flew in Tom Moore's Q200 and Bob Malecheck's Q200. Tom has the fwd hinged canopy and Bob has the sliding canopy. I was going to go with the fwd hinged

Re: Posa idle adjustment

My experience with the Posa leads me to the following comments regarding your situation. 1. Disconnect your linkage from the carburetor slide and see if it is actually closing all the way. It will

Re: Measurements.camber

Neil Jepsen-------- I had built my little Quickie per plans and then stuffed the 503 Rotax in the front end. I increased the gross to 600 lbs and this gave me quit a bit on - camber. I flew it

Re: Measurements.camber

The thing that has always bothered me is that all spring gear airplanes - C120, C140, C170, C180, C195, RV's, Christen Eagle, to name a few have considerable camber change under different conditions
