Thomas I lift off at about 65 mph, and only in ground effect for about 2 seconds while still climbing.  My Q2 quickly picks up speed, and at 100 mph she'll be climbing at 750 to1000 ft / minute if

NO. My Q200 with the engine at full power seems to lift off well below stall speed. Stall =67mph, lift off maybe 55MPH? I suspect that the engine blowing all that wind past the wing makes this

Joseph, I am so sorry to hear about this, but I'm also very glad that you're OK. I appreciate you telling everyone. When you get a little more settled please consider giving us a more detailed

This is very bad and we are all very sorry Joseph. The good thing is that you are OK. The first flight of our Q200 was also exciting with it not wanting to fly away. We found that if you leave it

Gentlemen, Isn't this primarily due to the inherent Q2 design limitation of canard lift vs. rear wing lift denying the aircraft any climb capability in near-level attitude at relatively low speeds?

Very sad indeed. I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt. As Sam mentioned, when the time is right, we would certainly like to hear your thoughts on the Corvair engine mod. - Paul Sent: Friday, August

Sad news indeed. We're so glad you are okay however. Pat

Very sad and sorry to hear that, Joseph, very sad. When you feel like, please elaborate your thoughts on the Corvair mod. Sam

Hello everyone,   I have bad news.  On July 22, I attempted first flight.  The aircraft was substantally damaged.  I was not injured. Here is a link to the NTSB report for details

Jim I purchased the Rulon bushing the first time I HEARD YOU TALKING ABOUT AND STILL DO NOT HAVE THEM INSTALLED SO PLEASE STICK AROUND AT LEAST UNTIL I GET MY Q2 IN THE AIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO

Unknown message poster, If you are just starting to learn about Qs....welcome.  It's experienced people like Jim that we should be listening to though. Jim and others flying records speak for

Anyone know the where abouts of a trailer built by Chuck Grazier. Terry Flanagan, one other person and I were partners. Twenty years ago we all paid $500. Chuck and Terry have died. David Hyatt told

Hello folks. I am about to fire the trigger on the purchase of a Q1. I am currently second in line to be offered to purchase the airplane. The airplane is listed in

Looks like a great little Q-1. Pictures do have a way of sometimes over embellishing the favourable. Try to find a high time 2 stroke airplane and its pilot. Talk to the pilot about his experiences

Does anyone know the measurement from the shaft of the Onan to the top of the firewall?  I am just looking for the vertical measurement to ascertain how the thrust line of alternative engines would

I'm just starting to learn about Qs, but it looks to me like crankiness induced by lack of flying. May I suggest than instances like this are resolved via a sentence of writing everyone 2 flight

Jim, I aggree with Mike. Clive..Gobxoy

Jim, I concur with Mike. As a "newbee" to the Q-bird org I will need as many experienced folks helping me with input as I build, prep for flight, and initial flight as I can get. Please continue to

Jim, please don't remove yourself. We need the active fliers that actually built the Q to keep the rest honest. I am guilty of the same thing but figure that each reader needs to consider the

John, I apologize for my rudeness earlier today and will remove myself from this list now. You caught me in a weak moment and this kind of stuff is not good for the group. Good luck to you and so
