Folks, today I attended the Aerospace Test Expo @ the Long Beach convention center. I spoke with several vendors of equipment companies that provide test services. I made arrangements to meet a local

Anyone ever land a Q on Catalina island? Regards, Damian Gregory N8427 Q200

So where does one get the plans for adding a T tail ? wrote: proven very well flying aircraft with better pitch stability than reflexor only Q's. tandem fully on the

Catalina (KAVX) runway surface conditions are not suitable for a Q. You might want to make a water ditch at Avalon Bay, swim in to shore, and take the bus to the airport. Runway

James, My stall speed(if the airspeed indicator is correct)is 64-65 MPH. Maybe your vortex generators would make my plane go backwards which would make it even harder when trying to land. Jim

There are now 4 out 4 Q's at Abbotsford with T-Tails and 3 are proven very well flying aircraft with better pitch stability than reflexor only Q's. Thanks James Rene Q2 C-FBWV James Postma

Jim and & heartily agree. If it ain't 100% right, go around. Runways with a slope are especially treacherous for Q-2s & Q-200s. Especially if the wind dictates a downhill landing, or an uphill

David has this dead right on. As to reducing the stall/ landing speed - you can get it down by 10 with my VG's. 60 mph is the slowest I have been able to go. James Postma The Aircraft Factory and

Well Rene's T tail goes like stink and no one can explain why. James Postma The Aircraft Factory and School Steilacoom, Washington (253) 584-1182 9:00 to 8:00 PDT (2530 691-2979 cell

Hello Jim, If you use my VG's, they will slow your approach by 10 so you can land there with no sweat. Yes I have approved them for the LS-1 canard. Not needed for rain and bug protection but nice

Thats it Sam! Why didn't I think of it? More flying, of course. In 60+ moths of flying this plane (first flight August 2000) I've put right at 700 hours on it. Thats probably 50% more than most

Barnaby Wainfan wrote an article for Kit Palnes in which he compared a single with a biplane and a triplane . The triplane allows unloading our canard (which would no longer be called a canard) which

Sam, are you trying to get a mother of all falmin wars started? Regards, Damian Gregory N8427 Q200

I have probably done five go-arounds this year. No shame here. Jim, maybe you need to fly a little more. Sam _____ From: Q-LIST@... [mailto:Q-LIST@...] On Behalf

Jim , it is nice to know that. I still have my 20 dollar bill for a ride along. too bad at Livermore you got hung up so long with the "magic prop" and the Magic turkey I am still thinking about

No thwarting disaster here Damian, I try not to do that! Just a little more work than usual in my Q bird. In 40+ years of flying its just one of those things. The point is that the plane reacts

JIM, I guess guarding the throttle is a good thing after all. Glad you used good judgement and thwartd disaster. Speaking of which... the Aerospace testing Expo is at Long Beach 8th, -10th . I plan to

Hey Mike, Hope all is well in the aftermath of all the hurricanes you all have been having down there, good night, you sure have had your share lately! Were you impacted severely?? Sure hope

This weekend was the first time in 650 hours of flying my Q that I ever had to go around,(and did it twice)! Several of us flew into Pine Mountain Lake near Yosemite for lunch. The runway is

Wladimir, Your camber and toe-in numbers are incorrect. You don't want toe-in, you don't want negative camber, and you don't want anything near 3 degrees for any of these angles. Camber should be
