Re: Tuft test video
Hi David,
I will be building new elevators, so I have opportunity to incorporate any new thinking. I think the Strainers look odd, presumably create drag etc. so I’d be more than happy to get rid

Hi Mike,
I may that 1/per year for 2022! If I can figure out how to get my kit to CA.
I plan on incorporating all the latest thinking and some of my own, principally in the area of the fuel system.

Re: Tuft test video
Hi David,
Always appreciate your input. I will have a look at the issue of Canard Pusher and get refresh my memory. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Tuft test video
For people with flying airplanes, installing a new elevator is impractical. I wonder how many Q's are actually being built these days. 1 a year?
Jay, your cowl flap is huge. Is that controlled

Re: Tuft test video
Jay,
I concur: Eliminate the sparrow strainers (they’re a hack anyway) and, instead, design an elevator that has a small amount of reflex on its trailing edge. That is exactly what John Roncz

Good point Mike. That was Charlie’s suggestion also, based on his experience from his dragonfly. I have a redesigned elevator on the drawing board that I have discussed before on this forum that

Re: Tuft test video
Great video Jay. Agreed, looks like a drag point to me also. Strainer looks to be in turbulent air. Maybe a smaller strainer mounted in the air below would be better?

Re: Tuft test video
Jay, do you experience any trim changes with power? Hard to tell just how far inboard your sparrow strainers are from the video. I think Dave and Peter have pretty well convinced me to both add them

Re: Tuft test video
Unload the canard and load the wing. Something to consider. Yes, I know it has been on the Q before. I've seen the photos and
read the newsletters about the trim surface on the verticle stab.

Re: Transport kit from VA to CA
I'm moving to Virginia from California this summer and will be taking two trailer-loads of projects (my turbo-diesel Q1 and Davis DA-2A). I'll be dead-heading once in-between with an empty trailer. So
