Ditto! Nicely done, Dave!

Bob, You're right on target. Landing gear directional stability is speed sensitive. All wheeled vehicles have a "critical speed" above which they are inherently directionally unstable. On Quickies,

Check out this months issue. Dave Dugas' beautiful Q2 is front page! Of all the planes pictured his got the most space (biggest picture). Great job, Dave! Dennis

Hi Bob, You guessed it, a new URL. Check out http://www.quickiebuilders.org and you will find the new home of the QBA. Dave Richardson Editor, Q-Talk Editor@...

Jim, thinking further about your posting, can you recall or derive the MAUW for each configuration? The reason why I ask is to see if it is possible to define an optimum power to weight ratio for

I have not been able to locate Q Talk any longer online. Is the club deleted or has it simply changed it's URL? If anybody knows what happeded would they please respond? Thanks muchly Bob Sankie,

Hello , My name is Darrell Daniels and I am currently in the registration process of my tri Q . My airplane was also scrapped and if you wish to talk to me about how I am doing it you can contact

I have a simple prop mounted at the back edge of my front hinged canopy which holds the canopy open about 3 inches at the rear when I want more ventilation on the ground. Opens just enough at the

David, It may be that "half-corrected" makes more sense since at the speeds most of the problems seem to occur, the wings are providing a substantial amount of lift and the canard is not seeing full

The PPonk calculator is for seaplanes where static thrust is critical above all else (it's not going to go anything near fast with a set of those hanging off of it). Mike C.

Not yet Pat. Actually you are the first to answer. There was a dragonfly sold on the list last year like this, and I'm trying to run it down. The EAA says that: you have to have the builders logs

<<Well, it's the start of a new year and time for all the builders to 'fess up....>> Well, I didn't get a whole lot done. It was odd, as I had many weeks with absolutely no work followed by

Well, it's the start of a new year and time for all the builders to 'fess up.... What did you get done last year??? For myself, I completed and installed the cockpit internal structures (

Dear John, I don't think that a turbine engine hitting some resonant frequency and coming apart has anything to do with revving the O200 over 2750 rpm. I would bet that the redline was set more by

Regarding emergency egress, none of these designs are any good when the plane is upside down. I'm speaking from experience. I now carry a really coarse folding saw (Stanley) for the worse case

The parallelogram canopy is pretty simple, so I like it, ... but compaired to the side hinge type it looks like it would be a little harder to get in and out of the plane. I can eject my side hinge

I agree, get the plane finished and flying and all those little changes you think you need won't seem so important. I have been planning to do some wing tip mods and repaint my plane for over two
