I talked with one of the guys from BRS several months ago about this very same thing. He indicated to me that there was someone working on this at the timeand thought it would be feasable to do

Alan I was based at Caboolture for a couple of years and grass is great . It helps to slow the ground roll and no problem with take off. I landed on wet grass a couple of times and once the tyres

Interesting... The BRS came along long after the present Q design so you will be making design changes. I would suggest we not debate the issue of chutes but be willing to explore the

Maybe this has been covered before, but I have not seen mention of it in my few months of monitoring the Q and Dfly lists, and I didn't find anything specific to the Q or Dfly in a google search. I

Clio Crop Care the dealer I bought my kit from operated a grass strip and it was no problem for a small wheel Q200. I've been on about 4 different grass strips, maybe 10 total grass landings. My

Does anyone have experience of operating a Q off grass? Allan Farr Q2

Fellers, In my opinion the source of most ground handling problems is a case of PIO and requires close attention to the far end of the runway. It is all too easy if there is a bump or distraction, to

Allan, I do not think the Aviation Products Incorporated tailwheels are pneumatic, I think they use solid rubber ones.
