Re: Intake Elbow

Deems Herring
 

Bruce,
Once TCM started making the ones with the bosses on them that became the only kind they make. If you order new ones for any of the small continentals you will get the kind you have. You need to find some used ones. I know the 75, 85 and 90 ones will fit right in place, I am not 100% sure that the A 65 ones have the same internal size. They show up on ebay and barnstormers quite often and you can usually get them for less than what people pay for the O-200 ones for some reason. It seems obvious but when buying used make sure they are selling 2 for cylinders 1 & 4 and 2 for cylinders 2 & 3 (don't ask me why I mention that).

Thanks Deems,

So I could just order elbows for say a C90 and the amount of air flow and the bolt holes would be the exact same as the 0200? Without the little extra knuckles for an injection system.

Hey Guy's,
Just curious to know how the rudder linkage works in an
open
system attached to the firewall with springs?
According to the Tri Q manuel, the system is open and not a 'pull
pull' which is what I'm used to. With the cables running through
nyloflex tubing and bending slightly in a few areas, I encountered
some
resistance. No matter how I hooked up the cables and springs, the
pedals felt weird!
My solution was to close out the system with pulley's and cable
to
make it a pull pull arrangement. This feels much better to me and
seems
a safer system all around.
I left the springs in place with just enough tension to center
the
rudder. I'm much happier with this system, but , interested in how
some
of you are setting yours up and how they work?

Flight contol - corrosion inspection

fitzair4@...
 

To Q-Group

Some? inspection tips for Quickie builders and pilots.

?After 25+ years of working on them, Corrosion is a very big problem
on the rudders, elevators and ailerons. Water on the outside?surface of the fuselage, will get into them.

Worked on projects, the builders didn't work on for many years. They never
epoxy primed painted the outside?or seal coated the inside of the tubing before assembling.
Disassembling these corroded controls took a long time, to keep from damaging them.
Had to replaced them.

For the pilots that have time on their Q2, during your annual inspection. Remove the rudder and
check the CSA10 bellcrank?into the CS21. Aileron controls CS 11 into CS9, Elevators CSA8 into CS16.
Check them for wear and corrosion.
This is also the time to replace the flange steel bearings QCSM4 and QCSM6?with Oil lite bronze bearings.
Steel on steel with no lube is bad wear and corrosion. Take them to any local bearing supplier for replacements.

Don't take a spray can to lube your controls. Put?the oil?on a Q tip and apply it. Over spray will go where
you don't want it.

As some of you know that live near a ocean. Salt is in the air. Over a year ago, there was a complaint
about Canard alum lift tabs corrosion. They complain about it 15 years after they received it.

I worked for 11 years at
OMC engineering, 1969 to 1980. We had one Paint Research Dept next to our Stress Lab. We sent out sample to test stations, one
in Stuart, Fla. The experimental test to find the right paint, was a very interesting study. I talked to Scott Swing
about his problems, at his Velocity location.. He told me that if they leave any untreated metal out side for one day,
corrosions starts very fast. Just store anything from your projects in a very dry inveriment.

I still like white epoxy primers for the outside surfaces. Better protection from UL & direct sun light? heat,
on any assembly that is left in a bad location and you forgot about it..

Don,t store your composite assemblies in the attic of a building. The temps, will get over 140 Deg F.

Last Saturday I attended for the 16th time,?our yearly Wisconsin?IA & A&P seminar. Many interesting tips
on engine care to write up about on?at another E-mail some day. Was attended by over 340 Mechanics,?Aircraft MFG
and FAA. There was a 1 1/2 hour talk from a Lawyer, about aircraft maintenance liability. At the Seminar, there was very few people there under 45 years old. After his talk, it is very obvious why being a A & P is a dying trade. Last year was 405 there in attendance.??? http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/news/docs/mech-agenda.pdf

We have two sets of Tri-Q wheel, brakes, tires, tubes, axles assemblies and wheel pants in storage, never installed.

Lynn and Jon,
I routinely check the outboard pivots too. I discovered the left outboard pivot loosened, so I removed my elevators and checked everything. The center pivots were fine, but both outboard pivots needed tightening. I think they may have worked loose because a small amount of corrosion was found on the pivot. I believe it was caused by water from rain or washing/rinsing, running downhill to that point, and causing the pivot to seize a little, eventually loosening the pivot bolt. after tightening, I used a heavy grease on both the outboard and inboard pivots. When I originally assembled them, I just used a thin spray oil to lube them. I think that the grease will protect much better. There is enough flex in the elevator to easily see if the pivots are loose, like Jon says, by pushing up and down on the elevator at these points.

Hi Lynn,

Nothing helpful, just some comments...

I just had me elevators off for my condition inspection. My center pivot
pins were slightly loose but no where close to falling out or being
dangerous (my opinion). When installing my elevators (with the plane on
it's gear), the alignment of the center pin is pretty close to right on.
While reinstalling, I did have a question about lateral freeplay in the
elevator pivot assembly and found that the plans call for .05" for the GU
canard (page 10-10, item #9 on that page).

I would think the area you mention on the bracket would be the most
suseptable to failure and that the hinge pin would be the most likely
thing
to start working loose on the elevator. It is hard for me to understand
why
we have not seen more problems in this area. Maybe it is a better design
than appears on the surface. I had considered a slight vertical slot in
the
backet to allow for the flexing of the elevator torque tube, but that
seems
to have questions in my mind as well.

Has anyone else experienced issues in this area or seen any variations of
attachment?

I've seen one centre bracket failure (cs?). It broke at the part of the
bracket where it narrows to clear the elevator tube.
The problem was discovered on the pre-flight, so it was not known if it
occurred in flight or on the last landing.
That centre mount should definitely be on every checklist .

I also received some photos of various aircraft, from some of the

have already built up the area with two-part foam, now I just need to
carve and glass it.

I think I may use the vertical versions seen on so many of today's

Sam,

I do not know if you have used it before but the NACA report server
has a wealth of the real deal aero research carried out by "real
engineers" Some of them might even have been professionals ;-)

Do a search on interference drag (report 518 for an example) It is a
treasure trove. I have searched carefully but can find no reference
to beer cans as an aerodynamic unit of measurement, although it may be
a derived figure. Some of the earlier pre-computer papers have
excellent explanations which will help.

Some of the list members with access to an engineering library may be
able to hunt up the bible. If you get stuck I can get it on interloan
and see what is there.

Report back

regards

John

Hi gang,

Once again, I'm up to no good. Would anyone happen to know the rule

Does anyone know?

Hi Paul

how is Vicky her photo is still on the workshop wall,
send your email and I can send pictures.
I also thought about hydraulic systems but the system was cable and has worked for this long why add fluid in an old pipe and risk over stressing it. as yet no testing has been done I am planing on making half a pant and belt driving the wheel for test and service life tests

Thanks Deems,
So I could just order elbows for say a C90 and the amount of air flow and the bolt holes would be the exact same as the 0200? Without the little extra knuckles for an injection system.

They are the same for all the engines. continental just started making them with the injector bosses when they started making the O-200.

Re: Fillet rule of thumb?

denpau@...
 

Sam,

I work on commercial aviation aircraft, more years than I care to mention.
All of the most recent designs (Jets) that I have come across have as close
to 90 degree junctions between the upper wing surface and the fuselage as
practical. Fillets forward and aft of the wing and blending on the under side
are about the limit of streamlining. Maybe the wind tunnels show something us
amatures cannot visualize?

Re: Q1 Hydraulic Brakes - a load of pants?

denpau@...
 

Dr. Paul,

Some years back at Sun&Fun, Starlite (sp) Wheels had a display. The spun
aluminum wheels (two halves welded together) with integral hydraulic disk
brakes, fitting within the wheel profile (no bulge on side of wheel pants)
impressed me. Tubeless tires could be used, saving some weight. Not too long
ago I located their web page, still could not afford the price.

Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2008 10:35:45 +0000

Thanks for such a comprehensive response everyone!
I used Nylaflow in my Q2 ... 800 hours without problems .... for
hydraulics. As the tube is glassed into the canard of my Q1 (with,
thankfully, enough room to get a compression fitting on each end)
this appears the obvious route to take.

The cockpit end is easy to sort out.

I'm still scratching my head about the actual discs and fittings. I
have the option of stepping down in wheel size and fitting the pad
assembly inside the pants, probably with the 'blister', or building
bigger pants.

I just wondered if someone else had already done this to save me
reinventing my wheels (sic) :-)

Imagine a Quickie that will go AND stop. Wow!

Finally, 500 hours is the total on my Q1, 390 on the Rotax (after
Onan, need thermals, Global which busted a crankcase lug - remember
that Jim?, and a Mosler). I broke down the Rotax last week, and the
bores and bearings are all just fine. I'm gonna fly it for another
200 hours and do it again. Not a long job. After that I may go for a
CDI (2 plugs are better than one, especially over water).

Cheers,

Paul

Let's take a poll of long-term Q2 flyers. Has the

Q2, but have seen
this same tubing used extensively in other
experimental designs
successfully in service for 20+ years. Perhaps the
old adage: "If it
ain't broke, don't fix it" may have some use here.
One caveat: I would
not use Nylaflow for a brake system which keeps
the lines pressurized
as a parking brake. The high pressure maintained
over long periods of
time just can't be all that good an idea...

Sam,

Charlie disturbed the cobwebs sufficiently to recall that the bible on
the subject is Hoerner S., Fluid-Dynamic Drag. Highly recommended. It
was the design reference used by Mike Arnold for the AR5 as an example..

The Horton brothers wing to fuselage fillets are sometimes quite hard
to find - but not nearly as hard to find as the tail group fillets...;-)

regards

John

Sam,

Going from memory I think Horton recommends 10% of chord, at least
that is
what I am doing on my Dragonfly canard (oops it was supposed to be a
secret, I
got Marstall in my sights).

Regards,

Charlie
