I was refering to the canard-- it's not safe to assume anything........we didn't know for sure if the "saddle fixture" caused the load test failure--- I wasn't involved with the construction of his

I am also interested in the mode of failure, and your speculations/reasons for the failure. ====================================== jcrain2@...

Mike, When you say the glass webs between the cores are you refering to the canard or did Mark decide to put an extra shear web in the main wing also? I am assuming the canard passed the test

Mikey, did you guys do a video of Marc's test? Seems like a remember once having a copy of something like that. I remember an airfoil not in a fixture like a replica fuselage that held the load

Paul, Mark and I built those per his schedule at about the same time. He brought his 240" wing/canard over to my house, then he and I load tested both of his and mine in my driveway. I have pictures

Hi Mike I have been trying to find someone who has built the Waddelow Canard, as per original plans, for some time now, and the fact that you have both load tested and flown the canard is fantastic

..BOTH Wing and Canard were intended to be 240". One of each were built. The main wing failed the load test, possibly due to the test fixture. the canard passed. I built a 200" canard per his

Does anyone have a nose wheel pant for sale for a tri Q. Someone had one before but I forgot who it was. If you could contact me, I would like to purchase it from you. Thanks Kelly Tri Q

I believe that both airfoils were meant to be the same length. Somebody spank me if I'm wrong!!! Bruce Crain On Sun, 20 Jan 2002 22:25:30 EST BD5ER@...

Thanks Leon, Glad you are doing the documentation on the Waddelow plans. I don't have the knowledge or skills to do what you are doing. Feel free to ask questions. If I don't know the answer, Paul

Al, I haven't talked to anyone that has flown the Waddelow canard but I do believe that Mark Greenwood has been flying his main wing. It is built just like the original except for the tapered spar

Great question Steve. I don't know of anyone flying with this size canard, so I don't have a clue. It is definitely something to flight test. I also don't know if the overall airfoil is enlarged or

writes: I must redact my statement. Upon further examination it appears that Mr. Waddelow did indeed intend to use a longer (240") main wing. I supose you could mix and match??????

I have just finished scanning the rest of the Waddelow document and I have a ZIP file of *.BMP files for anyone that can't wait until I get the rest of the document cleaned up. 1.22 MB size

If anyone could give me some more info on Mr. Waddelow - like when he died, did he ever get to fly his Tri-Q, or other tid bits of Waddelow history I will add them to my document. Ditto names,

Will this reduce stall speed? Steve Ham

Has anyone found a source for the old style 4-5 x 11:00 tires that came with the Q2 kit. If not, does anyone have any tires they wish to sell. I bought a set of the new replacement tires from Aircraft

Hey Bruce and Leon, What are the advantages of the Waddelow canard? Steve Ham
