You should count on your flying ability more. All engines are prone to failure- ALL of them. I had a crank bust in half while on a missed approach, in a Cherokee 180 that had just come out of annual.

I dont feel as much fear of an engine loss in my kitfox 3 as my approach speed is around 35 to 50 mph and i can put in down almost anywhere in 300 feet or so, but the Q? Coming down at 80 to 90 mph?

Ah, well there you go! Pat

That sounds line a really long way to go about extending one's TBO. How about buying the latest generation of Revmaster engines, the 2331cc R2300, that's worked out the issues of valve readjusting and

My q2 already has the LS1 canard. So i think im ok with an o 200 conversion .

It might be easier to convert to a triq than build a canard. On Oct 20, 2014 12:11 PM, "Patrick Panzera editor@... [Q-LIST]" <Q-LIST@...> wrote:

I believe the plane in question is already built as a Q2. Are you recommending that he change the engine and canard to Q200?

The q2 can be built with either the GU or LS1. I built mine with the LS1. I believe the O200 requires the LS1. On Oct 20, 2014 11:17 AM, "Patrick Panzera editor@... [Q-LIST]" <Q-LIST@...> wrote:

Can the Q2 handle the O-200? I thought the canard had to be changed? Pat

Yes. It's not a cut and paste conversion to the O200. But worth it. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID "Jeff Sellars kitfoxjeff@... [Q-LIST]" <Q-LIST@...> wrote:

Thanks Jerry. I will seriously consider that. Is there any trimwork or modification of the cowling needed?

Hello Jeff, I am a former Revmaster flyer until the block cracked at 299.4 hrs over Bowling Green, KY. Having now converted to the O-200, I can comfortably say that the Q200 is light years

I have an old Electroair Electronic ignition to the lower plugs and mag on the top plugs. It appears that you can fowl both! Curious if Sam did that also. Mike Dwyer Q200 N3QP My YouTube channel:

When rigging the 6-pack, what would be a reasonable cable tension for the cables between the tail wheel and pivot in the tail cone. These are the cables with the springs in them. Thanks for any

So I still havent even brought my q-2 to an airport yet. The plane is stored 30 miles from my home. at my parents house so I really get time to see that Bird. Whenever I have a free moment I drive

Yes they can. Ask me how I know. Sam Sent via wireless gizmo. On Oct 19, 2014 8:45 PM, "'jcrain2@...' jcrain2@... [Q-LIST]" <Q-LIST@...> wrote:

Yes, I do lean at low power and taxi... but on taxi I don't lean to the point of engine stopage. I think I'll start agressively leaning. I also have an issue with a tired engine and get 4 hours per

I agree with this. Extended taxiing can certainly foul plugs. However, a check list is imperative to make sure you don't take off lean. Ask me how I know. Sam Sent via wireless gizmo. On Oct 19,
