Peter, I have been thinking about this. I prefer to practice learning how to do the landing right. I realize the Q is springy with the wheels on the end of the canard and that PIO'S must be

I have right at 1000 hrs on the original nose gear and have had no problems. I position my reflesor as to minimize weight on nose gear for take off and landing. I can hold the nose off with no

Just wanting to know the liftoff speed of you TRI-Q 200 pilots. My plane is now at the airport and have started taxi testing. All is going good to this point. Have had it upto 70 MPH with an

Bob, I normally lift off at about 80 MPH. The bouncing you describe sounds like you have the old nose gear which isn't nearly strong enough for an O200. The stronger gear will eliminate this.

Thanks Mike. I modified my trim to left hand operation with a throttle cable control and probably not getting as much spring as normal but the force required was at leat 2 or 3 lbs greater than the

Joseph, I would not recommend "jerking the controls back and forth or purposely ground looping your plane. I've never done it in 800 hours flying time and see no need to do that. It just puts more

I'll probably try an intentional groundloop when I get to that stage however I am slightly concerned about stressing the ac. I read in "Fibreglass Boat Repair Manual" by Allan H. Vaitses (35 years in

Hi Peter, I kind giggled cause holding force on the stick of any kind for 4 hours is not going to happen. In cruise with full up ailerons I can easily trim out the stick forces which in this case is

Hi Jim, Good to hear from you. Thanks for the invitation of a ride in your Q200 at Jean, Nv. Does this mean you have dual controlls, i.e. dual rudder pedals, brakes, throttle? ******No I have dual

Mike, With full up aelerons have you got enough trim springs to trim for level flight or do you need to hold the nose down with the stick? Peter _____ From: Q-LIST@...

I would like to second Peters advice. Mike Q200 N3QP 1000+ hours. Peter Harris wrote:

Joseph if you have a Q dragger, before you fly, spend several sessions fast taxi and when confident deliberately upset and practice recovery. Jerking the stick back and forth may set up an oscillation

OOPs! I got that just opposit. Thanks for pointing that out. Joseph Peter Harris <peterjfharris@...> wrote: Joseph note that I am saying that my Q rotates better at take off

Best speed on my plane is with full (QCA limits) up ailerons. I reported my max speed a while ago complete with baro and temps. It's in the archive somewhere, probably under flight test... Say 200+

Joseph note that I am saying that my Q rotates better at take off and flares better landing and steers better on roll out with the aelerons up not down. Peter _____ From:

No, I am not yet flying. Hopefully in June. Currently painting the bottom surfaces. I have heard pitchbuck speeds range from 64-80 mph (your 55 kts is equal to 64 mph). The variations are
