I am paying a fiberglass expert to come and work with me for a day when I come back, and I have had some experience working on sailboats. I'd like to prepare a little before. Can you please share

Hoping to get a D-fly in the air in the next 60 days. Fingers crossed!! Fredd Baber

Wot no video ?? Thanks Jay for the encouragement. Happy landings Rich T On 19/05/2022 16:56, Jay Scheevel wrote:

Hey Murry, I may be interested. I have a higher power engine we're fitting to a Tri-Q. This may be a good option for us to do some testing to the benefit of the group. Please shoot me an email

Correct. an O-200 might be able to get the 80" pitch prop to 2000rpm, at which point it might produce ~60 hp.The prop is for 160-180 hp.

Yep you can, just request a low approach. (Just not right in front of the tower)

If you land and look back at your plane while walking away; you’ve found your happy place. Sounds like a good flight, Jay! Corbin -- Corbin N121CG

Thanks for the info Kieth. “Permission to buzz the tower?” Cheers, Jay

Hello again, Spring Fling update: I talked to HUF tower this morning. They'll be glad to have us....just shut up and do what your told. :) Naw really....they're pretty flexible. Follows are a few

Long read. Sorry for the confusion. When I was referring length and pitch of props for standard and pumped up 0200’s on a Q, I was using Bernie Warnke "Almost Constant Speed" and Craig Catto props

I thought that might get a response!

Heeeyyyyy! I resemble that remark!! 😅

To illustrate just how complicated fixed-pitch wooden propeller performance can be, even on a simple flight, here is a plot of TAS (kts) vs. RPM for my plane for one leg of a cross country flight from

The last remaining "Black Art" in aviation. Beware of its practitioners 😉 Cheers, Jay

Michael makes an excellent point about comparisons between props. There is much, much more to props than just the diameter and pitch.

Jay you are so correct. I fly my Q weekly and have never stopped enjoying my ride. Jim N46JP -,Q200

Great report Jay. I have had that exact feeling many times. It always makes me wonder "why doesn't everyone fly?". Doing it in a vehicle that you built yourself just makes it all the better. I've

Hi All, Nothing special to report, but I took a nice flight this morning and fiddled with a lot of things in the cockpit while I enjoyed the vacant skies near here. I landed and emerged from the

You may need about 6000 feet of runway to get it off the ground!!! I don’t think you would get anywhere close to 2900 with an 80 pitch prop unless you cut a few inches off the tips!! Just
