Q220?
Dave Covert <davecove@...>
I had the opportunity to sit in a Q200 a couple of weeks ago, and while I love the aircraft, the cockpit lip bit into my left deltoid and I had to hold my head at a 45 degree angle to get the canopy down. At 6'3" I am about 1.10 times the size of the average male in height and shoulder width and so I have to wonder what would be the aerodynamic results of building a Q200 with all dimensions multiplied by 1.10 (thus the Q220, get it?) Assume a 110hp-120hp motor.
My impression of the overbuilt physical strength of the Q200 leaves me with little doubt about the layup schedule being able to handle the weight of the additional material.
Any thoughts/opinions/observations? Thank you for your time, ɘvɒⱭ

Pretty picture. At first I was taken by the strange nose wheel. Then I realized it was going backward! Fly Safe, Mike Q200 N3QP

Bruce, carbon fiber is much high modulus than glass fiber so it will not flex the same as it will be stiffer.
The source that Dave Dugas provided would be more suitable as it is a solid pultruded glass rod. R- Mike

Re: New tail spring help
Bruce, Dave and Sam,
Thanks for the ideas on tailspring options, I will check those out. Sorry but I am having trouble sending some replies on this list. If you want to see the web page of the carbon uni solid rod it is at Goodwinds.com: Home page

Catto Prop - Heads UP
Completed prop inspection today on N46JP for possible cracks in bore/shaft hole of prop. NONE FOUND. Safe for flight. My last email discussed Mark Summers (South Lake Tahoe) finding two small cracks running fore and aft in the bore on both sides of his 60/72 Catto with about 500 hours on it. You may want to check yours. My Details: 60/72 Catto 2-blade prop w/leading edge protection. 1000 hrs. + on the prop 0200A with 9.4:1 Pistons Hangared at Livermore, CA Temperature variation 95-40F Low Humidity Regards,

Re: Doubt
Patrick Rameau
Sergio, have you considered an Ercoupe or one of its variants? Its an older 2-seater, but may be good for you because: 1) No rudder pedals (the yoke controls both rudders and ailerons); modifying it for your use should be very simple (adding a brake lever). 2) they are not expensive 3) Unlike the single-seat Quickie, the cockpit may be large enough to bring a folding wheelchair. 4) It is stall-resistant and reported to be very easy to fly. Good luck! On Friday, August 8, 2014 5:15 PM, "'Robert and Deb Bounds' rebounds@... [Q-LIST]" wrote: Sergio,
As a former Quickie owner, I would not recommend one for a wheelchair
user. Ingress and egress would be very difficult as it is a small
cockpit. Modifying the control system for paraplegic use would also be
difficult. Basically, it’s just too small to work for what you are
planning. I would suggest a larger plane such as some type of open frame
light sport type or maybe a Breezy. You would have much better access to
the cockpit and more room to install adapted controls. The Quickie is
attractive due to its performance and cool looks but it’s kind of a specialized
airplane.

I like the stretch wrap. Did you know you have a big hole in your upper fuselage where the header tank should go? Sam
