Greatings Norm. I'm a Tri Q2 from Whitecourt just in the process of getting my wings.  Hope to meet up with you one of these days to have a look at your project.   Welcome.....Dave K

Jon and Roger, When talking wood vs Al. vs composites you have to have more info. Composites are 2 materials of different properties that when combined have properties that the constituent parts

Greetings, If you are working on a Q1 and have not finished your weldments, I have some that need a good home. Just email me and tell me about your project. Hawkeye Hughes

Hey All, Some of you may have seen the pictures that I posted yesterday, but I added a description this morning. This is my first attempt at TIG

Jon/Jim/Paul, Thanks for the replies. I am considering something along the lines of what Jon suggested. I'm going to enlarge the sump, and figure out a way to get a hose fitting into the front of

Yep. that's why all those America's Cup boats are built out of aluminum. Phil Lankford, Smart Alec...self assured to the point of impudence.

Hi Roger, Assuming that cost is not a factor, I would have a hard time believing that high-tech composites would not be the winner. However; that is only a guess/opinion. Jon Finley N314JF - Q2 -

Wow! That's an amazingly crappy tank installation. You now have the chance to do it right. Looks like you're off to a good start. The only suggestion I would have is that you use EZ 87 for your

I have an Allen fuel in my "Tiny Canard" that's been there since 1996 with no maintenance and it still works really nicely. Cheaper than the Andair and works well. Bounds

From memory, the nearest valve on the ASS web page is the small one that you can also get in stainless steel (can't recall the number) but it is not identical to the CAV supplied in the kit. Can't

Hi, I'm new to the "club" and just bought a tri-Q200 from a guy in Houston. It has a leaky main tank and that will be my first task. Point is, I'm also VERY interested in this thread! I go pick it up

Dan and John I installed the CAV-110 sump drain valve without the screen. Instead I floxed an aluminium threaded welding flange to the bottom edge of the forward face of the main tank into which I

Hi Dan, I hope all is well with you and you're making progress on the Q. I installed my main tank per plans. Both header and main has never leaked. What is it you don't like about that setup? You

Hi Dan, I have a CAV-110 sump drain in my plane. [http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/safair.php] http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/safair.php If I had my main tank ripped

Here's some pics of my Main Tank Removal for anyone who's interested in seeing why I took it out. http://www.quickheads.com/main-tank-removal.html Cheers, Dan Yager Q-200 Under

Anyone have a good suggestion for a fuel shut-off that's maybe as nice as an ANDAIR but maybe not so pricy? Thanks! Pat

Hey all, I removed the main tank from my Q-200 and I'll need to replace everything eventually. Can you all help me figure out which fuel drain to buy? Here's the original page in the Q2 plans about

Miller cans have better flutter reistance over Bud cans. If you want to build it like a tank, use Fosters Lager, but you may run into weight issues that way. A good middle way is to use Coors, in our

Hi Jon,   Yep, it is a pretty cool little bird in can form.  I have a couple of projects as well, but let the building race begin :)   Rene
