Yes I would be going with an EFI system which reduces much of the back engine stuff, not totally away but much less. Engine mount would change anyhow because it currently carries an AeroVee. And fuel

Yes happy to consider something modern. Ping me at 408-805-5450. Thanks Robert -- Robert "TheFrisco" Schmid (408) 805-5450 www.facebook.com/TheFlyingFriscos www.theflyingfriscos.com Love building

Are you considering any of the alternatives? You need to convert much of the firewall forward anyway and you might consider a modern approach to power. I know the airframe in question and measured

The main difference is the fuel system, header tank, engine mount, cowling/air inlet, and firewall “magneto cutout.” But it depends on what you will have mounted to the back of the engine. I think

Can I put an O-200 on a Q2 body with the GU foil? -- Robert "TheFrisco" Schmid (408) 805-5450 www.facebook.com/TheFlyingFriscos www.theflyingfriscos.com Love building planes almost as much as flying.

Robert must be an engineer because he answered the question but missed what the question actually was. So the GU airfoil was used on the first Q2's. The internal construction had a fiberglass spar

Robert, my concern looking at that project from a bodyman perspective is the one big giveaway I see, that is the moss and mould on the outside. Granted some of that is just plain old dirt and tree

Ahhh i saw those on another quickie, good to know, thanks -- Robert "TheFrisco" Schmid (408) 805-5450 www.facebook.com/TheFlyingFriscos www.theflyingfriscos.com Love building planes almost as much as

The early Q2’s with the GU were sensitive to moisture or bugs contaminating the airflow and reducing lift of the canard. Quickie went to the LS1 canard in response. Later GU builders found that

That is an LS1 canard (carbon fiber spar). I does look a little sad in its current condition. If you get it for next to nothing. May be worth a shot, but do be careful. After a brief n number

Is that bad? -- Robert "TheFrisco" Schmid (408) 805-5450 www.facebook.com/TheFlyingFriscos www.theflyingfriscos.com Love building planes almost as much as flying. Latest completed build is "Loki", a

"GU" = Glasgow University. A high lift, laminar flow airfoil originally developed for man powered flight experiments, Burt Rutan adopted it for his early canard designs. The experts can correct or

Excuse the question but what's a GU canard? -- Robert "TheFrisco" Schmid (408) 805-5450 www.facebook.com/TheFlyingFriscos www.theflyingfriscos.com Love building planes almost as much as flying.

Oh it will definitely be looked over well. As far as the firewall, from what i understand will need some work anyway for the change in powerplant. Yes its outside, but its in a well shaded area so

I wonder how long it has set outdoors in the sun exposed? Especially the firewall. Get someone who knows fiberglass to take a look at it. While I was with Velocity we had such a Q left with us. We

I am soon to be the owner of an abandoned Q2 Turbo s/n 2789. Shes in sad shape but hope the bones are ok. Looking at her, i would suspect bad ground handling, as the rudder has been modified. Im doing

Thanks Terrence, I saw your plane on Barnstormer. I am looking to create a modern version with glass cockpit etc so I'll keep looking but I appreciate the outreach. -- Robert "TheFrisco" Schmid (408)

Robert, I have a Q200 for sale. It has about 600 hours on the airframe, and a low-time Jabiru 3300 120HP Gen 3 engine. I bought it last year, and found I cannot get hull insurance because I am 92

The plane has an AeroVee engine on it that needs to come off but the plane was never finished so it needs a lot of work no matter. Does that answer your question? Thanks for the tip, -- Robert

I asked the same question a while back. Don’t remember the list but should be able to search for it. Brian
