Hello Doug:

This is kind of like asking," If you don't get this e-mail, then send me an
e-mail and let me know." This is quite a dilemma. Good luck.


Cheers,

hUMOR IS GOOD, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T HELP.

If such documents exist, we should try to put them on the QBA web site.

Since I bought a broken TriQ with the old (weak - now bent) nose gear that doesn't fit the new Swing gear, I would like to discover exactly how the old stuff was done. It looks like I will have to pull the engine and cut out the magneto box to put the new one in. I just hope not.

Flight today was to perform maneuvers at 1196# TO weight. TO from 17.
Wind 220 at 10. Gathered a little more speed on the ground before
rotation. Very smooth TO, with little tendency for the nose to pitch
up. Had the reflexor set at aprox 1/4" TE up. The last flight I had
it set 3/8"TE up, and the nose wanted to pitch to high, causing the
airspeed to be low and the plane to feel mushy. This TO was much
better. Climb to 3500'. Flew around some, to get the feel. Preformed
climbs and descents. Would share the info, but left the paper in the
cockpit!
Power off pitch buck was just above 80 MPH. Reflexor set the same as
TO, just so I have a slight nose heavy setting while approaching
pitch buck. There was also a noticeable buffet before the nose fell
through. Very gentle buck. As I held the stick back each buck got
more pronounced.
At cruise speed I nosed the plane over, kept the cruise reflexor
setting, and flutter tested to 200 MPH. the plane felt very solid al
the way. Looked at the tach, and was turning 2900 RPM, so I reduced
that. Eased back on the stick to come out of the dive. I was quite
surprised at how long it took to bleed off the airspeed.
Then on to 60° bank turns, right and left at cruise speed. Very nice.
Nothing unexpected.
Next flight will be at 1246#.

P.S. NO! I have not signed it off yet. Had too much fun along the
way. Some testing yet to do.

Larry,
There is a Tri Q conversion book that came with the conversion kit.
Don't know if there are any out there in electronic format or not.
Maybe Scott Swing at Velocity might have something.

I have found no source for info (docs) on how to create a triQ. Any suggestions?

We were the shop that built 107 of the main gear struts and the wheel pants
and struts covers, ect.
Scott built the nose gear. Still have a copy of the conversion instruction.

We built up 3 of the Q2 to Tri-Q fuselages.

Still have the finished LS1 Canards, Regular Q2 and Tri-Q, with the
Graphite spar.
Their is a fuselage built up, with the Tri-Q conversion main gear mount
installed. Has canopy and tail installed.
The fuselage can be used as a Q2 or a Tri-Q.

Have many other part for the Q2.

Write me for the updated prices.

Flight today was to increase the weight another 50#. Full fuel, 150#
PAX seat. CG at 45.06". Range 42 to 47.2" Wind was 330 at 8. TO from
35 was extended, but rotation was very smooth. Should have gotten up
more speed on the ground. After liftoff the elevator was mushy. Nosed
it over and picked up more speed. Climb out at 110 MPH was about 500
FPM. Climb to 3000' temps were fine. Oil temp did not get above 175°F
the whole flight. Trimmed up for cruise, and flew around for 1.5
hours. Made an approach and low pass at two other airports in my test
flight area. I will do pitch bucks and climbs the next flight. Today
was for fun. Remember "Education and Recreation". Landing on 35 was a
touch and go first, then full stop. After burning off fifty+ pounds
of fuel, both touchdowns were very smooth. It lands better heavier
than it does nearly empty. The nose is not as heavy on landing. Very
FUN day.
The last flight I felt like I was not ready to do maneuvers, as I did
not have a good feel for the extra weight. After todays flight I will
be ready for pitch bucks, and other tests.

Pat,
How much is Rev getting for the R-3000?

$10k

What do you think of it so far?

I think it could make a huge difference in the LSA industry if Joe would
ever bring it to market fully. Could you imagine the RV-12 or even Cessna's
LSA with this engine in it rather than the Rotax? Other than that, the
engineering is top-notch. Not as pretty as the Jab, but not nearly as
expensive either.

Is the story on the CH601
installation done already and or what issue?

Yes and no.

Several issues back we did an exhaustive article on the engine,
http://www.ContactMagazine.com/backissu.html and the most recent issue has
an article on the acquisition of the 601.

It was only yesterday that I put the two physically together. My plans are
to forage ahead and have the first flying R-3000. I'll be keeping a log on
our website and keep our readers updated with the progress.

Pat

Hi Peter, any progress with the tail spring? Merry Christmas Raoul

Trevor,

The J3300 is lighter than a VW Revmaster but CG of the six is further
forward. I am getting 170KTS at 3000 rpm and still running in a tight engine
in my Q Dragger. Fuel consumption goes up above 2800rpm as the Bing is set
very rich at WOT. So rich it is costing me some power. I am thinking about a
throttle body but need more info. I would like to be able to lean off at
cruise. Paul Spackman is getting 184KTS IAS at 8000 ft, engine fully run in
and Bing carb.

Peter

Hi Peter, thanks for your response. Is yours one of the flying Tri-QJ-
abaru's ? What sort of performance are we seing out of these birds?
I was interested to hear that you had to put balast in the tail. It is
a lighter engine than the 0200 is it not? Was that also a requirement
for the 0200?

Regards

Hi Peter,
This afternoon I had a long and very fruitful chat with John
(johntenhave@...) in Sydney (didn't get his surname which is a
bit embarasing) who knows you and strongly recommended I give you a
call and have a talk about a couple of issues he and I discussed. If
it is something you would consider, you could email me your phone
number (spilligan@...) with some preferred or not times
that I might call at.

Trevor

Yep! Santa came a little early this year....(and for next year and
