Still working on longest build time for Q-200 S/N 2710 (family keeps getting in the way); that being said I’ve had an experience with the Nylaflo tubing which I need to impart to the group. A

OK, Kevin. My definite-maybe is now a definite-definite. I feel very bad however, after last month calling and inviting Paul Spackman to fly his Avid down here for our fat tire flying rodeo (Mack

Jim, There have been several cases of nylaflo failure. Search the web, usually where a change in stiffness occurs like a clamp or epoxied into structure. I had a brake seal failure and that was enough

I have heard of a couple of failures, but not on Q’s. The latest was last year on my home field in an Arion Lightening that had less than 100 hours, which and uses the same type of tubing as the Q.

I too like the stories - as long as they aren't mine Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I have always wondered about it, but no I have never experienced it... yet. Thanks for sharing the details Jim! I appreciate hearing these stories. Paul Fisher Q-200 N17PF ~1650 hours in 27.5 years

Good morning all, I just wanted to make this post to let you know I had a failure (a couple of months ago) of my left brake line about 2' from wheel pant, driver side. This is after 18 years of flying

Looking for possible delivery services. I need our TriQ to be delivered to KGRE and check out the new pilot. The delivery needs to be done by a CFI that has 25 hrs in a TriQ according to the buyers

Very nice Imraan, but cruel to be so far away that I cannot get a precision fix on it! 😊 Cheers, Jay

I thought I'd post a recent flight video. Jay always seems to unearth lots of useful data by measuring things on the video. I finally found a way to obfuscate his process (excited volunteer

Very well described the design of reflex in the dispatch to the aircraft Dragonfly, a little later I will post photos as implemented in my (just exactly as in the newsletter). If the photos do not

Jay-----------------  Thanks for the info on the cables, but the cables themselves move very little. There is a tension spring that goes from the motion changer to the cables.  Not in the picture.

This work all looks very nice. Only a couple thoughts. I would suggest replacing the tubes on the aileron trim cables with pulleys mounted about where the cables turn the corner going through the

I am sending a few pictures of my reflex. It is cable operated and the control sits in front of the throttle nicely.  The relex limit stops will be installed later. The wheel on the right is an

Good plan Jon! I've been in Owatonna. I think you will be a lot happier there for your initial test flights.

I will be there what ever time you set. Just keep me in the loop please. I'm not great at following Email but don't mistake my inconsistent attention for lack of interest or appreciation.. FYI I

Cruising the internet a while back for Q stuff and came across a video of first solo flight. Quality of the video isn't great, but for those that have test flown their aircraft, it will hit home.  

Kevin, Unable! Once again I will not be able to make it. I have to work on my plane and it should be warming up in Utah by then. I am hopeful for the FOD but you have heard things like that before. I

Hi Kevin, I know I've been negligent in attending the Spring Fling the last few years. But I'm now semi-retired and have more free time to pursue my interests. So put my wife (Jan) and I down as
