What's with the peach fuzz?

You have to look thru the axle. Estimate where to cut the new hole. Fill the old hole with flox and wood. Cut the new hole. Be cautious of the tire hitting inside the wheel pant after the move.

Hey Mike. How did you adjust the axle holes?

Hi Mike, The key thing is to have your standard flying weight loaded into the plane. Then roll it a bit so the wheels splay out. Hopefully you can look through the axle hole and pretty much see

Oh, I have the GU airfoil and the Revmaster

Hi Guys, I'm ready to flip my Q2 over and check the wheel alignment on it that was done by the original builder many years ago. I'm going to do a set up like Sam has documented. The wheels are already

I think this is what you are looking for: You don't need a "sign-off". You just need a tailwheel endorsement. Transition training would be great though. Some would say mandatory. I believe that

As for my second question….how can I get instruction and a sign off in the D-fly in New England? On another thread I heard two names mentioned but can’t find the thread anymore. Thanks

I'll get that one Jay. Sounds great. We asked Bob Shearer, who lives South of you in Colorado, and who the owner of Starship NC51 if a memoir of the program would be interesting to his group of

Fredd, come on up to Orange and take a look at two Q2s. Both are apart now with lots of good visibility into everything. In the last substantive exchange with Rick he said he wanted to take some time

Hey Taz, for years I shared a hangar with a high wing airplane. With the high wing in the t-hanger, I would pull the Q into the hangar, put a hydraulic jack and custom support under the canard at

Anthony P I know. You and i have actually spoken about it before. Is there a reason why you haven’t bought it yet? Fredd Baber

This is all great info, especially the peach tree. I’ll have to figure out how to get some liability coverage so I can take it to the airport for engine run, inspection, and phase 1. Only tie downs

Yes.. DO shop around. Ther is nothing saying one is better just because they charge more.
