Hi Jim, Yes I remember San Carlos. Last time I did that I was in a Citabria. Guess I have already busted your minimums since I was on 2600’ and DA of 4000’ when I landed. Did not try it

BTW Jay, my personal minimum for runway length at sea level is 2800’ - 85 degrees. San Carlos ( you know the airport). When I’m landing at Auburn - 1500’ ELEVATION and it’s a 90 degree day,

Hi Mike, The density altitude at Mack on Saturday was 4000’. I will work my way up in DA as the seasons progress. My landing procedure will also be improving with time. I will keep you posted.

Really clear video Jay, he must have used a really good camera! Like you, I moved from a long (5000') field to a short (2800') field for the remainder of my test flying... but I'm at sea level! Mac

Nice video Jay. Looks like you were on the binders pretty good! How long is that runway again😊? Jim N46JP - Q200

Took my 12th test flight on Saturday and my little bird decided that she wanted to come home to the "nest" at my home field of Mack Mesa. She had had enough of the 10500 X 150 runway plus two miles of

Subject: One Second In The Life Of A Racer

Here is a new article from the EAA's engine guru, Mike Busch. You might want to save this one. Sam https://www.savvyaviation.com/wp-content/uploads/articles_aopa/AOPA_2019-01_breaking-good.pdf

By today's standards the racer would be considered slow. Average race speed for the racer was 209 mph. When you look at a clean well built Q200 like Sam has, the Q200 is now faster. I wanna say in the

Thanks for that link Eastw. I hadnt seen that. Very good info. I personally dont understand Polar or are they Renolds numbers but the airfoil section is good to have. Thats all thats really needed to

I bookmarked this link some time ago, besides the words Rutan and Amisoil I can't vouch for any real connection though lol http://wingsofaero.in/rutan-amsoil-racer-canard-airfoil/

Hi Shaun yeah a really neat airplane and one of my favorite planes to date. Mike Arnold built probably most of the airframe of the Amsoil Racer yes. Mr. Arnold is a huge inspiration to me and should

Hi all, I thought it would be interesting to get some conversation going to compile all of our knowledge/see what we can learn about an airplane closely related to the Q's. The Amsoil racer is the

It resembles a Rutan Quickie made from an Aerostar Front end that uses those Pallet Jacks to move it around. Seems totally reasonable to me, still, I don't know how they'll get it flying with those

Nice! Thanks for that.

It is how you calculate what loads a flight control system should be able to withstand. It is based on a statistical analysis of what pilots can develop on flight controls. It isn't intended to be

Good stuff!!!! I was wandering about this same stuff but just assumed history has proven it safe...... Thanks Dustin Graber Q2, restore project
