I pulled the O200A parts catalog and found a "Cover, Vacuum Pump" PN 628018 that is very much like I built. It looks like the vacuum pump drive is an accessory cause the parts manual for the engine

Peter, I think that you may have missed my point, I don't put much store in TAS. The Ottawa info is not TAS but actual ground speed. I know that there are other Q's that are faster than mine. Jim

Matt, are you wanting spars for a Q1 or Q2/200? Peter, can you supply Q1 spars? Doug "Hawkeye" Humble www.asignabove.net Omaha NE N25974

Thanks Bob I for the correction and congratulations on your several great performances. Peter

Hi Mike, I have not see the inside of the engine around the suction pump. Gary said that the pump comes off easily but the gear that drives the pump stays in place. That gear is not so easy to take

Four nuts and off comes the whole vacume pump drive gear. I built an aluminum plate to cover the hole. Maybe saved a pound or two? Mike Q200 jcrain2@... wrote:

Thanks Paul. I hope you don't mind me blowing your trumpet but it seemed significant to me that you are turning the 72" pitch prop faster because of the smaller diameter. It would be interesting to

Can do Doug. Get Matt to read the resources link. Peter

Chris, Just to give you another way to approach the fuse bit, If you have the Aero Electric Connection by Bob Nuckolls look at note 4 about fusible links. He talks about inline fuse holders being not

There is a cure for that problem, The Aerobat 0200 has an extended ½” pipe elbow that sticks into the case about 1.4” further. I just drilled out my elbow for ½” copper pipe and silver

Jeff, don't worry - I'll use a low amp fuse and live with the consequences. I expect to do a load of taxiing before flying - should shake down the systems anyway. As you say, this is not a critical

Hi Dave, The oil exits the crank case breather at around 3100 rpm but only if you take off the gyro suction pump and leave the gear that turns it. The gear becomes a small turbine and sends the oil

Thanks all for the help on the batteries, guess I will go that way, I plan to use two of the 12AH ones. Ron T Ron's Quickies, Page 8 is the Q200 and 9 is the Quickie and page 10 is a new Q200

Earnest, My Lightspeed Dual Electronics let's the 0200 idle at 450 RPM, but I though you had already ddone that. Jim P. improve a lot of the 800 I

Leon, Please send me any info on carbon spars and the ls1 canard. I cannot find templates or specs. I have seen the other q1's with vw's and i am following after them. I am far from the engine

Peter, Make SMALL cuts on that precious prop...! :) David J. Gall

Hi Peter, I recall an fall fly-in where Bruce Crain learned something about extended higher rpms on an O200 where he got a good amount of oil ejected from the engine that wrapped around the fuselage.

Peter - If you give up the Dia. for more pitch and keep the rpm the same, don't you loose climb? I have been wrestling with this and would like comments. Doug "Hawkeye"

The category of these batterys is AGM, they are sealed lead acid but not like regular lead acid batterys. I use one similar to the 1170 but don't use an auto battery charger on this thing! I did
