Mines a GU with T tail. Hasn't flown yet though. I understand the GU is actually more efficient than the LS1, but also more susceptible to lift degradation (from bugs & rain). Allan Farr

If I understand mass production principles, Onan could hang it up today and thousands of engines would still be in the pipeline for 5 or more years to come. No worries mate. j.

Hi Guys, I'm sure that someone has probably asked this before but how many GU canards are still flying as against how many have converted to LS1. Does anyone have any info ? And are there any GU guys

It seems that Onan is not going to produce the opposed twin flathead engine anymore. I have the 18 hp modded for more power, I had hoped in the future I could buy a 25 or so hp Onan when my current

Larry, I suggest you read the early Q-talks. Switching tire shapes did not seem to make the planes more stable. For example, Bob Malecheck switched from aircraft tires (McCreary 5.00x5) to Lambs

I have the new Swing nose gear. What I haven't figured out is how to mount the front bolts to the back plate without removing the engine and cutting a hole in the magneto box. The plane has a

Hello everyone. My name is Mike Gifford and I'm new to the group. I came into posession of a quickie about a year ago. The previous owner bought it as a flying craft and quickly removed the original

Agree; however, I suspect that much of the problems stem from the fact that many of the planes have flat bottom (auto/cart) tires. Planes typically have rounded treads to reduce the camber impact. The

Larry: You are correct, an airplane does get lighter on the wheels, the camber changes, etc. However, If built to plans the Q2xx has 0 camber only at liftoff speed; at any lesser speed there is

The dune buggy does not get lighter on the wheels as the speed increases. An airplane does! Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 larry2@...

Trevor, I believe Larry is referring to a sticky brake, not a "drag brake". The air brake I think your may be referring to is useful in slowing down this otherwise slick bird, but not absolutely

Hi Larry, as a newcomer, I'm guessing but unsure if you are referring to the Drag brake when you say "dragging brake" and not referring to a sticky brake problem? Also if this is the drag brake, I

I'm leaning towards the first weekend in May. Pat

On my first flight attempt, I lost power at the point of T/O. I pulled my throttle and grabbed my brake (single at that time) handle. The plane swerved to the right off the runway into the weeds. I
