FYI, I took off once with full up reflexer. I had to hold about 20 lbs of forward stick to keep from pitching up too much. Controllable but not fun. As preflight I used to set the reflexer at 0 and

Hi Mike, In my opinion you are overthinking this. Those who know me are laughing now because I am famous for over thinking things when I was building. Fact is that you won’t know what the

Hi Chris, I think I understand what you are saying; more weight requires more lift. And the reflexor can be used to trim with the ailerons rather than the elevators. I was considering neutral to be

Phil, I put Paul Lipps “Elippse” prop on my Quickie back in the day. It came off his Lancair for a test. It was a weird looking but fast prop. He made some pretty impressive numbers with the

April 1 is right around the corner. But on a serious not, I may remember some of this circulating, pardon the pun, in Q-performance posts of the past, along with some other scimitar designs like those

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing Dave. I was making noise over your house this afternoon. Next time, I'll pick you up and we can fly down to Hanscom to pick up a few toroidal props to test. :) --

Need your mask and snorkel?? Bruce

One other thing for the reflexor control. Do not put a detent at your neutral position. Neutral at 900 lbs will not be neutral at 1250.  Take care--------------  Chris -- This email has been

Hahaha! Who will carve *that*?

Check out this propeller. I'm checking this out for my Q2.Dave D https://newatlas.com/aircraft/toroidal-quiet-propellers/

Dito for me Sam. Installed same assy. Before 1st. Flight, never had 1 problem with it. Jim N46JP Q200

And with ratcheting you can count the clicks. Bruce

Not a bit! Bruce

I use the lawnmower type ratchet throttle cable from Aircraft Spruce. It's compact and works just fine. I have it mounted in my center armrest, just aft of the stick. I normally only touch it two or

No creep on mine in ~300 hours so far. Cheers, Jay

Regarding reflexor, to all the people that are using them, has anyone had any creep or movement with just a normal cable actuating system.  I never have, on both my airplanes, but am curious about

I like that idea Vern, I think that will work way better than a coil spring Thanks for the advise guys Mike

The centering detent makes sense and having a "stick" backup to the elevator is also a very viable point. Redundancy is good. So..on this line, my plan is now to incorporate both but for the

I have a vernier cable on my plane as does Fisher. Where I got the idea. Haven’t flown with anything else, so your concern my not be relevant, as I don’t know any other control movement. Seems

Bruce raises a good point here. In an emergency, for example if one or more of the links to the elevator breaks or becomes jammed, the reflexor is a back-up pitch control, you would like it to be
