I currently have the keeper bolt with washer as well; to keep the axle in place. I went by a machine shop today and he said my axle is a high quality alloy. For fun, here’s a pick of my pusher rod

Maybe a thick wall 4130 steel would do the trick. You might need to get a smaller inside “keeper bolt” with thick washers. I did this to my Q when it was still a tail stagger. The keeper bolt

I was thinking carbon steel and ceramic coated. I have a lot of experience TIG welding but the actual pipe routing of the Q2 is pretty complicated inside the cowling which is why I want to buy one if

I just replaced a home built 4-pipe system on my O-320 T-18 with the “new” Vetterman small pipe RV-6 exhaust and I couldn’t build it myself for that price. There’s all that cutting and fitting

Would you build in carbon or stainless steel, and which alloy? Regardless of whether you buy or build your own exhaust system, be prepared to check for cracks. An exhaust system crack could

If you can manage fabrication then go for it, but $800.00 is fair and it will be new and to Revmaster specification. I recently paid over $1000.00 for a Vetterman exhaust system for an experimental

Q listers, I am relatively new to the Q list, but I have been building my Q2 for several months now. Im based out of San Jose, CA with kit #2436. The Revmaster 2100 I have for the plane came out of

Glad you got the assembly off Now you can beat on it on the bench and not wreck the wheel mount. The idea of banging on that still inside the wheel pant gave me the heebeegeebees Cheers

Hi Corbin, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!. It occurs to me that the issue may have been that the axle was slightly bent, maybe from a hard landing or other torque, so cutting it off was

Christmas shenanigans got in the way until this morning and I was able to get it out….sort of. Freezing/shrinking didn’t work, tapping from all sides and techniques didn’t work, working

Did you ever get that out or did Christmas get in the way?

Hi Jon, Thought I'd chime in a little. Very nice video. The wife let me hook up to our big screen TV so I could see the quality of the video. WOW! She enjoyed it too and wondered who would fly that

Merry Christmas Jon, Nice video, amazing how the fog "grows". Funny how you and Paul were experimenting with a fin camera all that time ago, I first saw one on A380 and thought it was

A little Q history for ya'll. I don't remember the exact year but approximately twenty years ago Paul Fisher and I were messing with video cameras on our Q's. These were the latest and greatest

It’s really you! The Mad Scientist! John! Ah knew it along! What won’t you come up with next! Kin ah git’n auto-graft?! Bruce

Great video Jon....pro quality. Dave D

Very cool. Seems like the camera might vibrate but it looked good. Mike Dwyer Q200

Jim and Terry, Thanks! That wingtip view is from my version of a camera on a stick. I'm using a GoPro Max 360, 5' of aluminum tubing, and some alum angles. It's a work in progress. Actually... the

Merry Christmas everyone. You dont hear much from me but I'm building and reading all your posts. All the best!
