Doug, It boils down to this: Old GU canard; install vortex generators. New LS canard, vortex generators are not required. Some people are still installing the GU canards for various reasons,

Ditto for me on the fuel cap. I had the same thing happen to me. Make sure that your cap is sealed. It does not need a vent hole, either. Venting is supplied by the ram air to the header tank. If

The GU airfoil isn't quite the dead dog you think it is. Compared to the alternative airfoils it actually has some advantages. A properly built shaped and finished GU will actually produce more lift

I fly at near 100F all the time. No gascolator tho. I did have my fuel cap crack once and the engine would loose power at full settings and come back when I reduced power. Figured the ram air was

In 1985 my axle holes were set to sight an inch and a half forward of each other at gross (the Gall numbers? = toe out and no camber @ gross). After 15 years the canard creeped enough to be about 3

The Q-200 seems to stall at lift off when the power is pulled. I actually think the plane lifts off below stall speed cause the prop is blowing all that air. Pull the power and your going down NOW!

Jon, Thanks for the page and you bring up good points. I don't recall you asking for input but may have missed your page. Here goes. Specifically Bob and I have installed toe brakes, full swiveling

Jim, We have seen the list of things that you and Bob did differently with your planes (specifically the tail wheel). Please tell us how you installed the main gear and axles? Did you use the old

Mr. Postma, It sounds like you advocate the use of this "unstick test" in the flying of the single seat Quickie, at least I think that is the plane you are using....It may work fine. Based upon

Q GROUP, I installed a Positech oil filter (from Van's Aircraft for their 0320's) in line with my El Reno filter last week and it really helped. The temperature today was at close to 100F and steady

James, I beg to differ! I have several thousand hours flying time, X-Navy, United Airlines and many different types of AC and I'm here to dispel what your saying. My plane behaves just like any

A newbie question: This rain & bug problem with the original Glasgow University GU25-5(11)8 airfoil canard was supposed to be fixed with the new 1981 NASA LS(1)-0417 MOD airfoil. (See

Keith: Would you describe the placement and dimensions of the duct tape? thanks, -john-

James: Welsh here. Just thought I'd add a little sumpin to the Canard thing. Back in 1995 when Burt Rutan visited Terre Haute he suggested how I test to determine the effect of VG's in rain

OH GREAT..... Something else to forget to bring to Ottawa.... E me next thurs if you think of it. I'm bringing up a set of carbon spars and my Sonari II tailwheel spring, castor, and wheel to show

SOLD! I am sure that I could use them to mock up what I need to build. Thanks Mike I'll have the mountain dew on ice! Jerry

Has anybody going to Ottawa ended up with an empty seat? My seat is still on the ground. I'd be willing to travel a couple hundred miles or more from N.W. North Carolina to join you enroute and help
