Q-2/Q-200 Canards and a Main Wing for sale....
olderprograms <groups@...>
I've been doing a little too much shopping on eBay over the 2 years.
I have a glassed (but unfinished) Q-2 canard in my garage in North Eastern PA. I also bought a Main Wing and Q-200 Canard from a Tri-Q (with the QAC Carbon Fiber spars) that is sitting in AZ ready to ship. I'm thinking that I should sell these to anyone who wants them. I'm considering them extra for my needs, so I'll entertain all reasonable offers. I can answer more questions via e-mail. I got a freight quote of $500 from AZ to PA. (Just so you know what we're dealing with on the shipping.) Let me know if anyone is interested. (Before I put everything back on eBay.) These could save some lucky person a whole lot of labor, and save me some storage space! Cheers, Dan Yager quickheads.com e-mail: wings_at_dvdme.com

Re: Canopy Seal
damiantwinsport@...
Jim , as well as spray adhesive ( making sure to mask off areas that you do not want to clean afterwards) clean the area to be attached with Denatured alky then scotchbrite ,then clean again before spraying on adhesive, let dry before applying seal tape and keep your oily fingers off of the sticky side.(wear gloves)

If anyone gets tired of reading these repotrs, toughtshit. :>) You have a delete button Keep building!!! 25 March 06 Installed six (the front top plugs were installed last summer) new spark plugs and torqued to 25 ft lbs. Drained the oil. Installed new oil filter and torqued it to 17 ft lbs and safetyed. 26 March 06 Filled the engine with 6 Qts of Aeroshell 100 straight mineral oil 50wt. Started engine with the help of Wayne to do the propping. We think (Terry Crouch and I) that the mag impulse couplers are either magnetised, or the oil is so thick that the dogs are not catching on the stop. Terry was there for everything but the flight, as he had to get home before dark. Preheating seems to do the trick. I will run this heavy oil ten hours, then switch to 20/50wt. Hopefully the lighter weight oil will make the mags impulse better. Had trouble with not preheating the engine as the cowl was off. Wanted to check for oil leaks before recowling. No leaks. Back in hanger for recowl and pre flight and preheat. Set the ailerons to TE up, 3/8² for this test flight. Also made a piece of nylaflow tube to use as a stop on the veneer cable at that setting. Run up at 1700RPM Right mag -50, left mag -100, carb heat-100. Take off was normal on runway 17 with a left cross wind 20° to 30° off runway heading. The plane was less pitch sensitive at this reflexor setting. Also a lot less back pressure on the stick to rotate and climb. Engine seemed to have more power. RPM on TO 2400. OAT 50°F Wind 10 to 15 MPH from 140° to 160°. Air was a bit rough due to thermals. Engine temps normal. CHT up to 450°F in climb, down to 380°F in level flight while in pretty much a constant turn. Did run the reflexor TE down a bit to bring the nose down to level flight. Flew hands off very well !!! Engine RPM up to 2500 in level flight. Speed above 150MPH indicated throttled back to maneuvering speed, again due to the thermals. Orbited the airport for 20 min at 3000ft. Descended to pattern alt. Engine seems to run the smoothest below 2000RPM during decent. Above that (2100 to 2250 or so) it has a vibration that is not excessive, but uncomfortable. May be just me. Decent to landing was good with reflexor back at 3/8² TE UP. Final was at 115 to 120. Short final was 110 or so. Made a shallow short final flew above the runway, all at once the wheels touched down. Ballooned back into the air, but the second touch down was much softer than the first three landings. MUCH more manageable!!! Great day. Expanded the envelope a bit. Learned more about the reflexor. Got the engine RPMs up. Very successful. Kevin Boddicker Luana, Iowa Tri Q200 N7868B 3hrs Flying!!!! Quickie Builders Association WEB site http://www.quickiebuilders.org Yahoo! Groups Links

Re: Quick In the Rockies 2
Great to hear from you Paul! Glad you are going so fast! You have paved to way for the Jab Quickie! Happy to see things going so well for you!
Hope to catch up with you again one of these days! Don't know if I will make it to the Nevada fly in. We are headed for Sun N Fun in less than a week so I may have to stay home and pack up and reload the bank account after that and my Daughter Sarah's wedding in May.

Allan, Steve J, John L, and Brian B you fellows are close enough I bet you will be able to taste this Jabiru pie! After a day of XC skiing, and rollerblading I decide to roll 1PS out for a flight over our little piece of the Rocky Mountains. Set the bird up for a 120 KTS climb-out and pointed the prop to the SE. Looking down at the place I had been skiing just an hour before and then out across the prairies I could not help but to think about those hours spent in the hanger alone dreaming about days like today while I mindlessly sanded hours and days of my life away. Pointing the plane to the west I headed out over some local lakes just minutes away (50 miles) to see that the ice is just starting to come off. With a turn to the north the snow capped Big Horn Mountain defined the the horizon. A Quickie glance to the GPS said 200 MPH. That's why they call em Quickies aye Jim P. Now with sundown getting closer back to the Casper airport with 224 mph showing on the GPS for ground speed 9,500 feet and yes sir there was a bit of a tailwind but whop-e-ki-OOOOOOO what a great little plane!!!!!

Yes, that is probably what I will do. When taking my USAF flying physical, they told me if my sitting height was 1/4" more, I could not fly in the AF. I had a squadron mate once who was 6'5",, but his sitting height was less than mine. I had to run the seat all the way to the floor in the F-4. Glen

In your .pdf print dialog box you should be able to select the paper size and an option to scale the images to fit the paper. That way you can print 8.5 x 11 (or any other size). Some people have raised the back of the canopy one inch for more headroom. David J. Gall QuickieSource.com

If the Leon drawings are good and up-to-date, I will start making all the metal parts and phenolic. I will glue to templates to some hard masonite and get them ready. I already have enough blue foam to make the cores. Is there anyone making canopies any more? Also, I am 6'3" with a 39" sitting height. Do I need to modify the cockpit? Thanks Glen
