Ron, Klaus is using his own design and yes I'm sure he's turning hisprop in the 4,000 + RPM range. Dave Richardson is correct my friend. You are still therotical in your modifications until your

It may be the easiest way to an end, but not necessarily the best. If everyone followed this motto, we'd have no six-pack. For that matter, we'd have no tandem wing aircraft as well as no

Hi Ron, I might point out that your disagreements are based on your theoretical observations. The sixpack is based now on repeated experiences by several different pilots. The sixpack bellcrank

I guess the Q2 had many variations in the beginning. A friend gave me his mechanical (cable) brake pedals (Q2) when he put in hyd. brakes. They slipped on my original Q1 rudder pedals easily. A hole

Allen, whichever rudder/tailwheel system you choose to use you can get the same results if you want to change the angle of the tailwheel. Just think of the tailwheel as a gear with a chain to

Since, like most of you, I use a cell phone, I was intrigued by the advertising of headsets with cell phone connections. I had been reading, off and on, about regulations against using a cell in

I wonder what Klaus is using for a prop and what RPM he is turning. Could he be turning the 4400+ like the formula 1s.? Ron Triano South Lake Tahoe, CA The Sonerai is finished and

This same subject comes up more than any other, so I will add my designs also as I already have many times over. 1) I agree with some that toe brakes are much easier and more convienient than

Jim, I enjoy being a tight wad, vat a good deal, As I said already the lightspeed is probably the way I will go. I just enjoy checking out the other competition to prove to myself I got the best for

Allan, Reread my comment. I didn't like the idea of loosing control and not being able to get back to center line way before I installed the brakes. This was obviously the opinion of a lot of others

Thanks for that Jim. When you say that you found the single pull lever unacceptable, do you mean from experience or just the thought of it? I'm not getting at anything, I'm just interested because QAC

I suggested a locking tailwheel about a year ago, but nobody seemed to think very much of the idea. Allan F

Mike, You are SOOOOO right! It bears repeating: Consider that a rudder can have twenty-five or more degrees of deflection before it stalls whereas a tailwheel will start to skid (analogous

I would like to point out something I think people loose sight of regarding the Jim-Bob 6-Pack: The bellcrank mod allows the builder to reduce the pivot arc (travel) of the tail wheel relative to

Allan, I bought my Quickie Kit in October 1981 from the factory. It had a single pull lever that when applied set both brakes. I found this to be totally unacceptable in any kind of crosswind. I did

Jim, I have a Super Quickie and you are right, the brakes scare me a little. So far I am still in the taxi phase of learning my airplane. I have no problem with steering the plane, but the braking

My two cents worth, where I disagree with my good friend, Jim. 1. I do use differential finger brakes, with great success. They are positioned right behind the throttle. I let go of the throttle

Hi Jim. I understand that originally the Q2 had differential brakes, & that QAC changed it to a single pull lever. Was their reasoning faulty in your opinion? Regards Allan Farr Q2
