Re: Elevator Weights or Something Else
Mine are on both sides, like Jim's. Can't wait to fly again...this avionics upgrade is taking forever but it will all be worth it.

Yep, I have one one the right side. Jim Patillo has one on each side.

Re: Elevator Weights or Something Else
Corbin, It is the counter balance weight for the elevator. Prevents flutter. Do not remove.

Re: Elevator Weights or Something Else
Makes sense. I have yet to play with the servo much to feel the resistance, if any at all.

Re: Elevator Weights or Something Else
My opinion - a servo that is not engaged should have close to zero resistance, so no I think you should still have the elevators balanced.

Re: Elevator Weights or Something Else
Follow-up question. Would the resistance from a servo make the weights obsolete?

Re: Elevator Weights or Something Else
Thanks Paul and Cody. That is what I have always thought (a weight) but now knowing it is for flutter that helps explain why it is fairly light as not much weight would be needed for that.

Re: Elevator Weights or Something Else
Yes, it's a counter weight to balance the elevators to prevent flutter (hopefully!).

Elevator Weights or Something Else
Hey all,
I’ve always assumed that the circled item is a weight of some kind connected to the elevator control.
While we continue to work on the avionics , and locate a spot to mount a servo up

Re: Off Topic but... EAA Experimenter Magazine
They often have back issues for sale at their booth at Oshkosh. If no one can pick one up for you you might want to contact the magazine directly.

Off Topic but... EAA Experimenter Magazine
Anyone have an eaa experimenter May 1991 magazine? I'd really like one. I will buy it from you! I was flying a Vollmer Sportsman on the cover and my copy has faded to blue!
Fly Safe,

Re: Q1 Fuselage comes up
Eugen------------- I have a fiberglass tail spring from my Q200 I am not using. It looks like the one I had used on my single Quickie.
It is yours if you want to pay shipping. Chris In Geraldton

Re: Q1 Fuselage comes up
Rob,
Fuselage torsional stiffness is low until the wing and canard are installed.
Eugen,
Be sure to download the entire SuperQuickie Conversion report, not just the one picture that I sent earlier.

Re: Q1 Fuselage comes up
Eugen, congratulations, looking good!
One thing I always wondered about: how is the torsional stiffness of the fuselage structure? Can you judge that, by twisting it at either end with two
