Re: Ready for Spring Fling!!
Doh! Sorry Jim! I did find the thinnest o ring I could find to fit inside the hole but a chamfer would be a better idea. How will you make a chamfer with the thru bolt in place?

Re: Ready for Spring Fling!!
Hi Jim!
Sorry it has been so long ago that I worked over the through bolt that I don't remember if I put an o ring or just used silk thread.
Yes Buddy is a fun fellow to talk to! And when I have a question he is more than happy to talk about aviation mechanics etc! He is so sharp and experienced!

Thanks for the connection to Buddy. He is a hoot!
I talked with Buddy at D&B Aviation in OkCity. He suggested a slight chamfer on the case where the thru bolt comes out of the case. He said that was so the o ring could seat about 1/3rd of the way Into the case without cutting it. Did you do that?

Glad to hear your great report. Keep knocking off those little to-do projects and you will not be able to stop smiling.
About crosswinds: I have to admit that my visit to Enid last September was the first time I landed with any significant cross-wind. It was not an option at Woodring, since that was my destination, and only one runway was open, so I just set up and landed it� with no issues. I was surprised how well the Tri-Q handled the 90 degree 10-13 knot crosswind that day. Worst problem I had was taxiing back on the parallel taxiway and trying to keep it from weathervaning with the castering nose wheel.
Working on building my wheel fairings now. Need for speed, don�t ya know. Finally got my �user error� repaired starter back on and tested�all good.
Cheers, Jay

I flew N96BJ today and can say that it is up and running without any problems. I have no oil on the belly after putting the o ring on the case half bolts on the left front! It was 75 degrees F today and my temps were plenty cool for CHT and oil Temps! The finished exit ramp on the bottom of the cowl looks great if you're standing back about 10 feet!
I am also getting the zig zag dialed in for cruise and alleviating the sparrow strainer stall! I washed off all of the bugs today so I am feeling pretty good about it all!
I flew 1/2 hour today with gusting winds of 19 to 25 mph without any problem! Yeah this TriQ is great with high winds and cross winds. It is a lot more of a chore with the RV6 taildragger!
Bring it on Kevin Boddecker! I am ready.!! Spring Fling! Woo hoo!

Re: QuIckie Q2 Project
HI Eugen,
Let me know if you are unsuccessful in locating the bulkhead templates. I still have my originals (original set from QAC in 1984) and can get them scanned for you, but I won’t spend the money to do that unless you are unsuccessful in your effort to get the ones you already paid for.

Re: QuIckie Q2 Project
Hello Jay,
thank you very much for your note. The both website I visit already, the Canard and Jon site is listed in my investigation actions at my first email. They a tons of Information for some one that have already a Q2 in the air or are in current stage of restoration. So the data are already on my desk and double check, but in the end I need the Bulkheads scans to build up the 3D model of Fuselage.They are still missing on Jons site or the information are not clear or measurement are missing. That was the reason I choice to buy the Plans form Quickheads and on the other site to support the guys there. In the canard forum I ask Jon Match with an PM message to support me, we will see what happened. So I was still read the tons of information that are already placed here in that community , deep dive and spend much of my quality time, but I´m stil not really experienced to use a mailing list. Because that grow up in that time I start use Forum like the Canard or Quickheads style. So it is a pleasure to get in touch with the community. Thank you. Best regards from home office in Germany Eugen |

Re: QuIckie Q2 Project
Hi Eugen,
To start with, I would suggest visiting Jon Finley’s site (http://jdfinley.com/file-downloads/quickie-aircraft-documents/) to get copies of Q2/Q200 documents. He was kind enough to post these online years ago. The Quickhead site is off and on, but the current owner (jon Matcho) also operates the website: https://www.canardzone.com Try contacting him there and you may get a resolution to your order of plans kit from quickheads site.

Hello Quckie Group,
I ask some companys in the US that are owner of the mold for a set of fuselage, but they want a couple of money include the shipping to Germany that I will spend it in my own DIY 5 Axis CNC mill and material to produce my own molds.
If there is any one that are able to spend me the plans for the bulkhead and so on, I will share my DXF files with that community, for sure. Because is a mess that this wonderull piece of aircraft will Die if no one will catch up the plans, build up DXF files and safe for the further homebuilders.

Re: Landing Auburn, Ca
What a cool project, Jim. Did not know about that Aeronatica. Seems Barry never tires of new projects. I remember the AN-2 that used to sit on the east ramp at LVK, back in the day. Cool stuff at Livermore. Jay Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Jim Patillo <Logistics_engineering@...> wrote: Yes it is Jay. It belongs to a friend who is restoring it. A few months back he took out the end of the left wing. Seems hangars don’t move easily. That has now been repaired. I hope to see it fly soon.
Don’t know if you remember but Barry Weber, Mark Srick and I bought a 1983 Aeronatica Romano IAR823 directly from the Romanian Air Force several years back. It was the primary trainer for their Migs. It had light hard mounts. We
replaced the Russian instruments and some components and got it flying. It was a nimble airplane with light handling and control input characteristics like the Q. It looks like a Mooney on steroids. That was a fun experience!
