Re: Preliminary analysis of aerodynamics of sparrow strainers (or not)
Hi Mike,
Here’s the deal on wing mounting angles. Unlike the current dogma about the canard stalling first, the canard in the Q configuration never really achieves a full stall. The full stall angle

It is good news you didn't get stuck by an Arrow!! How the hell does he know "you have enough room?" Maybe he'd say the same thing if you were in the Concorde. Probably waits at a corner until a

Re: Preliminary analysis of aerodynamics of sparrow strainers (or not)
Good point, Mike. And one best avoided!
Decalage revision, but that is with the R1145MS. Don't know yet with your elevator, Jay. The Frankenbirds canard is bolted in as is the wing, because it is

Flight report
Well. After all of my pissing and moaning for weeks now, I finally got my first flight of the year (in my Q) completed.
Nice day, compared to what we have been experiencing, light and variable winds,

Re: Preliminary analysis of aerodynamics of sparrow strainers (or not)
With a lower angle of attack on the canard, wouldn't that reduce the margin of having the canard stall prior to the main wing?
I'd still like to see a better sparrow strainer design. Move it into the

Preliminary analysis of aerodynamics of sparrow strainers (or not)
Let me preface this with the statement that the current design of sparrow strainers works. You should not deviate from that design. The following is purely theoretical at this point and is not flight

Re: Turn radius
Thanks. I was not going to be able to sleep trying to figure the G load for 3/8 inch!

Sorry that 3/8” would be very tight. What I meant was 3/8 mile!

Re: Turn radius
3/8" diameter is even better than my helicopter in a hover! :) ;)
That's an amazingly nice circle.

Turn radius
Was just looking at the details from my EFIS on yesterday’s flight. Good to know what the max performance figures are. 120 mph IAS, and 60 degree bank angle holding altitude, the plane will turn in

Re: First Q2 Serial Number
In the early CP's, Burt had a list of builders and serial numbers, I wonder if there is not a similar list somewhere for the Q's.

Re: Flight report
Wow Jay, makes me feel dizzy just looking at your flightpath.
Its the best time of year to fly, great performance and great Vis.
Thanks for the advice.

Gee Kevin, looks like you definitely set the record for "High Score" in the S/N game 👍
Hopefully someone can do sufficient pestering to get a Scott Swing Q-tour; sounds epic!

Re: First Q2 Serial Number
On my last visit I stopped by to speak with him. His Q200 was parked at the front spot in the hangar. It might make a Q-tour, or maybe just his remembrances of his days at QAC would be even more

Re: First Q2 Serial Number
I was told my Canard and Wing were built by a very knowledgeable composites builder on the Florida coast. It would be
great to hear the stories.
Wonder who it was I was told about??

Scott was my boss at Velocity 2005-2016. You might find it easier to get him for an interview him on our Zoom platform.

Re: Flight report
Went up for a winter flight today and it was very enjoyable. When I took off, it was -3C and during the flight, climbed to over 9000 feet at -10C. It was smooth air and severe clear, so sight seeing
