I think this is all great feedback and good stuff to consider, but on the lighter side I agree with Phil that Larry's recommendation should not only help you get up faster, but maybe it will help clear out foreign matter in the lines also. So I think I will so start adding some along with my Marvel Mystery oil. Should be a good combination.

Re: Its Changed! - New Fuel Filters
Sounds like a worthy test. I'm ready to remove my old paper filter. Will do a flow test without and with water added. With all good science experiments, some others should also report results. Mike Q200 N3QP.

Wing Shear Web Cut
Frontier
I have been idle on building my Q-1 for much too long, as Terry Crouch can attest to.
I have a small problem with making the cut on the main wing Shear Web. The place where the pieces of foam block ended up BEFORE hot wiring these cores is very, very close to the shear web cut line. I was going to allow the slight imperfection on the one core, which did not have the core pieces (for the one inboard core) microed & make the other core with the same "imperfection" but...when setting up the other core, which IS bonded, that cut line is right where there is micro present. I have the core ready to cut w/hot wire cutter, but now worry that cutter will catch on and not cut the micro! Not sure what to do now. I am tempted to just bond the second core and cut by hand with a saw, not a hot wire cutter and get the Sear Web in the right place, as it should be. Anyone ever hot wire micro? Any suggestions are highly appreciated! Joe Galletti S-L-O-W-L-Y building Q-1 in Dayton, OH

Hi Guys,

I don't know if the Fram G3 filter is a paper element filter, but just a heads up about paper element filters, they are illegal here in Canda for aviation use. Transport Canada will not pass any aircraft with paper element filters. They have been proven to hold any water in the fuel and then block the fuel flow once water contaminated. I know this is unlikely in our Q-birds, but never say never. The filters that are recommended are sinthered bronze element filters. I've been using these clear sinthered element filters: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/fuelfilter.php Rene Q2 C-GTCA

Tri-Q Nose Gear - Available
quickheads
Hey All,
As mentioned in the last issue of Q-talk - Richard Kaczmarek, Joe Melanouris, and Charles Wilhite are making some good progress in supporting current builders and flyers with the hardware necessary to complete their Q’s. They call their company FLAPS which stands for Fast Little AirPlaneS, and their intent is to eventually bring kits back. They recently completed work with Scott Swing to turn over the manufacture of the Tri-Q nose gear and the front gear leg and axle are now available in the QBA online store here: http://tinyurl.com/6y7adx4 The plan (after the first order) is to make runs of five, and keep them in stock, so that they can ship individual orders immediately. They will be adding the main gear bow within the next few weeks. Q-200 DXF Files I also completed tracing the Q-200 LS1, Main Wing, and Verical Stab templates in AUTOCAD (DXF) format, and provided a suggested layout on the foam block. These document sets are now available in the store also: http://tinyurl.com/6xpez64 Just FYI. Cheers, Dan Yager QBA Editor www.quickheads.com

Lycoming Engines
Martin Skiby
OK, I have heard that some have installed an O235 in the Q200 and it worked out. Can any one give me any info on this? This DOES NOT mean that I am going to do this, but I wanted to know about how the plane handled he extra weight on the front. Also anyone else that has put a heavier motor on the Q200 like auto conversion. How do they handle? Is there a max engine weight that has been tried like 260 lbs?
Just doing some research.

Re: UV damage
UV damage only affects epoxy and foam the glass is unaffected. You can see
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
the damage as the epoxy gets dull and powdery or flakes off the glass fabric. Look at the backs of fiberglass signs and backboards, you will see fiberglass strands where the matrix has been weathered away. first the sun breaks it down then the wind rain dirt scrub it off. Non UV blocker paint may not protect it and if the paint is undamaged it would certainly lose its grip on the epoxy. Damaged areas can be removed and replaced if the damage is severe but where the damage is, is vital on deciding repair or scrap. Minor damage can be sanded out to sound material and replaced with a like layup do not overbuild the repair. Regards, Charlie Johnson Ogden, Utah
