Great , Jay !!! I’ll chek ‘em out. Terry

Hi Terry, Have a look at pages 36-42 of linked pdf and you will see the access ports that I put in over the canard (left and right sides). I thank my lucky stars that I put these in. I use them

Thanks Paul. Well heck; I’ve flown with rudder brakes since 1947 and I’m too old to try to remember where my brakes are when I SUDDENLY need ‘em. Learned that lesson— that habit controls

Access is exactly why I still have hand brakes. I'm too old to reach under the instrument panel to maintain toe brakes! That and I've flown with hand brakes for over 30 years now, so I think I'm

I went thru the starter thing several years ago after increasing piston size to from 6:7.1 to 9:4.1. I installed and blew up 3 Skytech starters before realizing they were not going to work in my

Ya, an update for you all. I called both AeroTech of Louisville and Niagara Airparts. Mine was the AeroTech part. Both told me of multiple instances of this pinion gear cracking. The failures occur

I use electric servo operated by coolie button atop of control stick. Use continually throughout flight. Ditched trim wheel and springs 24 yrs ago. Jerry M

Michael-------------  That little wheel is for elevator trim. It goes to the elevator and is attached with two springs that allow me to tweak it a bit to fly hands off.  The little knob in front of

Sam, I remember your hand brakes, when I visited your plane last year; and mine are the same. But I really want to change them to have my brakes on the rudder pedals. Does anypne on the list have

I went for the SkyTek in the end as well Mike, after having bought the B&C then realising the firewall mod needed. The B&C is belting around in a F1 pylon racer now. The C12ST2

Nick, I use the ratchet type cable. You can see it here, just aft of the control stick. I normally only adjust it three times during flight; before takeoff, cruise, and in the landing pattern. BTW,

Chris, What's this thing? Feel free to answer privately or in another topic; don't want to derail Nick's question. -- -MD #2827 (still thinking about planning on visualizing how to finish building)

I agree with Paul on both his comments. My handle pivot has a variable friction lock on it. I can put my thumb on the panel with my fingers around it and make fine adjustments that way. I also have

I used a vernier prop control (blue knob) in the left armrest. I like the ability to make very fine adjustments - it can be quite sensitive. I would recommend wherever you put it, you'll want to

Hi Nick, I used a stick-like handle on the left below the throttle panel and at the front of armrest. The handle has the same “sense” as the stick, meaning pulling back is nose up. It moves

Mike, thanks for much for keeping us informed of what happened. Maybe we can keep somebody else from having the same accident. In my Q-200 I've been using the B&C starter for some time and I'm quite

Hi guys. What is the best option for reflexor control? I've thought about using a friction lever in the location where the hand brake once was, but I've also seen some using a push-pull throttle
