Al, Maybe Peter won't listen but the silent majority out here do listen and we really appreciate the advise you and many other experienced Q2 & Q200 pilots provide. Sam kittleson1@... wrote:

Hi again all: We are a little over a week away from the second tandem wing flyin of the new year. The only thing we desprately need is AIRPLANES, you know.............the Quickie and Dragonfly

Peter, just a quick note to thank you for your BS and rant free discussion on the subject of reflexors. It is very clear to me that you know what you are talking about, have sufficient

Hi Keith, If you can guarantee good weather I guarantee I will be there. Terry Crouch Q1 N14TC

Peter, an insightful posting! It looks to me as though you have all the benefits of a reflexor and none of the disadvantages. I am sure you are right with respect to the variability of flying

Sam/Jim, this is upon reflection, a really good idea and simpler by far than the metal spinning suggestion. there should be very little load on the bulkhead if the spinner is accurately installed

Hey hey Al Why bring me into this ?? The decision to sell my plane is mine, and the reasons are not those you mentioned. In case you are confused, Peter & I actually live in

Peter, I really wasn't going to respond to this anymore, but some new folks out there may actually think that you know what you are talking about. " I have pondered about these reports of ground

Ditto. Works well. Jim, what thickness aluminum did you use? I think we used .090, but I can't remember. David J. Gall

Ron, I have flown out of Reno and Tahoe for many years with Turbo's and Turbines and I couldn't agree more. Normally aspirated doesn't do much for me up there. The only way to make your Qbird work

Chris, He must have one hell of a light airplane or has gotten very skinny! Jim

Sam, I considered this same dilemma when I replace my prop, but ended up with a 3.5" hub prop instead. I think the reason they do not offer a front bulkhead for the 4" hub is because there is no room
