Paul's son was intending to pick up where his father left off on this design. The intention behind the design appeared to make sense but what was the result, Jim? Numbers. What happened. I am not

Mike-----------  The other Mike and Jay are exactly right. Don't overthink it.  If built per plans, even if you don't do your checklist and the reflexor is set wrong, most airplanes will fly

Well the verdict is in I'm not going to bother with the detent. The less I have to build, and as Jay says, think about, the sooner I move on to the next phase. Thanks for all your input it's been

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
