Hmmm, wasn't it Sky Dog who mentioned the other day that NACA ducts don't work in reverse? Or did I mis-interpret that? Larry Hamm Joseph Snow wrote:

I must say I'm surprised by the responses. I asked for people using a stall indicator. Got one. Four other people proceeded to assume that I was complexifying the plane or don't know how to fly in

Sam, You are right; it is a cooling augmentor. I don't like it either. So, I have been cogitating. I have to figure a way to route my exhaust stack around the engine mount. Maybe a ball joint

...and LEARN which lever in your plane controls altitude and which controls airspeed. The best way to accomplish this? Get glider training. Pat

Dear Ron, Thanks for the very kind words. Thruth be known, we have all been enriched by Sam's contributions to the local aviation community. Keep me posted. Charley

Wow, Thank you Dr C. With all that imfo I should be able to find what is this problem. Since I only get to work on my toy weekends it may take a few weeks and I surely will get back to you. Sam is

I have an AIRSPEED indicator that I use to adjust my speed on landing. I also use the FEEL of the plane to judge stall speed. This seems to work on the sixteen or so different types of aircraft I have

Joseph, Your new fairing looks A LOT better. Interesting how, if you keep at it, the better look emerges. I have to say I'm not crazy about your fairing around the exhaust. It looks like you are

Hey Wes, I can give you a really simple explanation for this (guess how I found this out ;-)) if you fly in the conventional manner, I.e. drift down to flare hieght, flare and them wait for the

Yup, fire away, I have gone straight -- and am back working as an Aero Engineer...(and finishing off my second hangar) so no longer have as much time as I would like to chat on the net... How can I

Canard. Pitch buck over the runway means prop plant. Roughly 15% of NTSB reported quickie accidents (25% of those caused in the air) appear to be related to pitch-bucking when going too slow

Wes, My Q-200 dragger is fitted with a stall indicator and when it chirps I know it is time to get the tailwheel down onto the runway. It is fitted a couple pf fett inboard on the canard. Peter

Why do you care -- actually, why do you care about several things: -- where it is mounted (canard or main wing) -- stall indicator vs. AOA -- any indication at all other than pitch-buck These are

Dear Ron, Sounds like you have a serious problem that needs attention. First, if you have a manual primer, separate from the acceleration pump of the carburetor, run the engine so that the fault is

I am in the process of doing so with the Dynon D-100. Takes a special pitot to do so. Jerry wesisberg wrote:

Has anyone installed a stall indicator on the canard? (I know folks have installed angle-of-attack indicators on the main wing.) Thanks in advance - Wes

Richard, we need to meet up - I have a lot of information including a complete set of plans from 1986 (inc Tri-Q info) and all the updates that were current then - eg sparrow strainers. It would be

Hi guys I note you have some good looking catchers on your machines. Can you tell me where I can find the basic design for them, I cant see them on the Q2 plan. The bugs at the field have found

Sorry that was a brain fart, it runs good to 2000 RPM. Ron Triano South Lake Tahoe, CA The Sonerai is finished and flying finishing the

Thanks Lynn, both you and Sam mentioned about the nozzle. I will check into that further this week It runs great with the old Stromberg carb so I know it is in the carb. Ron Triano South Lake
