Tim , The carbon spars are still available by order but I am sorry that there is nothing I can do about the price (which is affected by the rate of exchange) or the cost of freight. I understand the

I built my Tri-Q2 originally with the LS-1 canard and flew it 300 hrs before the Revmaster gave it up. It is now a Tri-Q200 with 20 hrs. Just follow the instructions. It works the same on

Hi Tim, just be aware that the LS-1 canard is not automatically a "plug and play" item. It would be wise to check that someone has done the calcs/flown for a VW powered LS-1 equipped Q2. On the

I was working on the newsletter (Are you paid for 2008?) and had some new classifieds that I just put out at the QBA web site. The link below should get you

Hi Tim. I have a set of metal and wood templates from my Q2, I have to check at the hanger and find them between the rest of the parts, if you still in need of them I will put a box together and let

Hi John, I do have a "kit"...of sorts. I purchased the fuselage shells, bulkheads, canopy etc from Jeff LeTempt. I was specifically looking for GU templates and was going to build it and then put on

Mark Waddelow designed a standard 200" LS1 sparless canard solely for use with the tri gear configuration and presented all his data to the Q group for their own evaluation and free use. It is built

Yaa,,hoooold on a second here, you were mentioning that you had an O200 with magnetos, right? In that case you have a slightly different scenario than the guys with electric battery/generator

Sam, I think Mr. Wadlow was working on extensions for the main wing and I thought he did it in the GU form. As I said in a previous post it has been 25 years and my memory is fading. Jim Doyle

Yes Sam. I was not nearly clear in communicating. The spar of course is the back-bone of the wing. Were it not for the canard serving double-duty of landing gear, the spar "could be" somewhat less

Dug, I gave you the complete construction documents and template drawings when you picked up the plane. I have sent out several copies over the years to people but I no longer have the text in my data

I don't know of any data to support the statement that the spar is only used for landing. I wouldn't bet my life on that theory. Didn't Mark Wadalow build an LS-1? Sam Hoskins Murphysboro, IL

As I understand it, the carbon spar function is main to support the wheels in landing (the spar could be considered a part of the landing gear system.) With a Tri-Q the strength requirements would be

Phil, My Q (N56DW) was built with the boxSpar LS1. It was Done by James Doyle and he could give you more info on it, though I do know that it has 900+ hours on it, though it was converted to TriGear

Tim, it sounds as though you need to find yourself an unstarted kit. It also sounds as though you need to decide if you are going to build a Q2 (the subject) or a Q200 (LS-1 and carbon spar) that

Is it possible to build an LS1 without the Carbon Fiber Spars? Didn't someone make a layup schedule for the LS1 using the box spar layup similar to the GU internally? Hence, does a person need

Tim, could you email me off list at: HawkiDoug@... Doug "Hawkeye" Humble A Sign Above www.asignabove.net Omaha NE N25974

Hi, Thanks for all the replies. I was really just looking for a complete set of plans i.e. one that contained hotwire templates for GU canard and wings as well as templates for phenolic

Hi Richard, Is your engine a Revmaster, because if it is Revmaster is in CA and sells any part that you need. I switched to heads with automotive plugs, which cost about $650.00. I ran my engine

Roger, thanks for the reply. Very good information on this. It's a geared starter and the battery was connected directly to the engine. At this point the engine is not on the airframe but in the
