Re: Q1 Project
tristanphilpot@...
Maybe you’re thinking of Henry Hallam’s electric Q1. I’ve seen it taxi on a video somewhere. It’s all gone quiet recently. I hope it’s still progressing behind the scenes.

I also have a Q1 that is the basis of an electric version, not for sale either. Sorry. Tristan On Apr 9, 2020, at 11:54 AM, Jay Scheevel <jay@...> wrote:

Re: Q1 Project
No, that was diffferent. The Sheehan one actually flew in the electric challenge that the Pipestral won. The one I am thinking of was a standard construction Q1 and was at Tehachapi. Sheehans was constructed entirely at Mojave. Two different planes.

That electric Q1 isn't a Q1, exactly. It's from Quickie founder Gene Sheehan and is a completely new design, all carbon fiber, and actually a bit smaller than a Q1. I doubt that it is for sale. MY Q1 is definitely not for sale.

I suspect one of his problems that he was not focused far enough down the runway during round out. He was also having issues with his pitch sensitivity. Jeff

That is Henry's Q1. It was in Tehachapi, but last I heard it was moved to Mojave, and taxi testing had been completed. It is NOT the same as the TWERP Q1 that Elliot had the emergency landing in. On Thu, Apr 9, 2020 at 10:28 AM Jay Scheevel <jay@...> wrote:

Re: Q1 Project
There was a guy working on installing an electric motor in a Q1 (I think it was a university project) a few years ago. He had it in Tehachapi. Not sure if that was ever finished and/or is still there. Maybe that became the ill-fated twin jet Q1 at Mojave? Maybe Mathew Curcio has some more updated news on whether that project may be available.

My son is currently looking for a Q1 that is flying or close to it and needs some work. He would like it for some testing of a new engine being developed locally.
Anyone have one they would let go reasonable?
Thanks |

I assume the distance from the left case half to the right case half plus you would need to drill that 4” or so distance to the right case half and then stop before you drilled into the right case half. Then drill a smaller hole in the right
half to accept the Heli-coil. Then you would need to find a way to break off the little tang on the Heli-coil and remove it some way.
Have you known of a way to install the Heli-coil thru that distance?

Jim,
I would not have relished Dr. Steve's position landing on that short of runway, with obstacles at both ends without an airbrake. Do you know what the runway length was? Is he still flying currently? If I ever finish my Q, although my local runway is 4,200 feet
in elevation, it's 9,200 feet long and 100 feet wide.

Say Jim when you go back in with the thru bolts for cylinder #4 you will obviously have to thread the bolts back into the opposite case. When I pulled my #4 I tried to re-torque the thru bolts "driven studs" to spec of 300 inch lbs or 25 foot lbs because
one of the studs seemed a little long when I originally mounted the cylinder at overhaul. And because I was curious about their original torque. As I started to torque the two it seemed they were going in a bit further than I thought they should. So I stopped
and then remounted the cylinder and torqued the cylinder base bolts to the prescribed >490 inch lbs or >40 foot lbs for 7/16-20 bolts and >410 inch lbs or >34 foot lbs for the 3/8 -24 bolts.
I called Buddy at D and B Engines the next day and asked him what was going on with the driven studs not making torque. He said you most likely have a heli-coil in place and the heli-coil has drilled hole at the end of it which makes the end of the hole
further in from the heli-coil. I know clear as mud, but think about how you drill and screw in a heli-coil. I may have been bottoming out the threads on the bolt and screwing in the heli-coil more than originally mounted from Divco in Tulsa when they re
built my case halves.
So unless you have a thru stud sticking out to far to get a cylinder base wrench on it when you mount it you might measure the other cylinder base bolts to see if they are sticking out any extra. If you have any questions I would direct you to Buddy at
D and B. It seemed so much more simple when he described the procedure.

P.S. I put the picture of you and Bob Farnam 2 ship on Face Book and branded you two of the fastest Q's flying! Hope you didn't mind! That is a beautiful picture!
