My problem is headroom. I got those new seats made but the foam is still so firm that I have to tilt my head to the right slightly when the canopy is closed. I have weights on the seat to try and

There have been a few who could just barely get the belt fastened while sucking in their belly. Don't know how comfortable they were but by golly they weren't giving up their seat!

What is your name MD? Don't recognize those letters.
During my flight test phase which the FAA set at 25 hours, my airplane was structurally load tested to 1,325 lbs. and was based on standard

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Jim,
It would be great to know if the 1,325 lb number comes from structural limit testing or just plain ol' running out of aft CG. Do you fly in Normal Category above 1,100 lb?

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Corbin, If you happen to find some rain you will be very very happy you have them. The GU canard will head to the ground if it smells water.
We put on 1/2 the normal amount if it worked well, but

Guess that means you have a gross volume limit, not a gross weight limit? š

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
From experience, at least in my TriQ 200, if I can get the seat belt around you I can take off and land. That was done without anything in the luggage compartment and also down at around 1000' MSL

VG highly recommended for GU losing lift on the canard is not a fun time.

I have tons of VG's, the metal style also sold on Spruce. However, the white ones are appealing for a cleaner look. Hmm...

Here is the page describing installing those available from Spruce. You can replace, whenever you accidentally (or intentionally) knock one off:

I believe you can get them from AC Spruce with sticky tape you just peel and put on wing.

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
I would 2nd what Jay is saying. Iāve flown next to your āGU planeā with and without vortex generators.
Without them, Iāve seen your plane depart from straight and level flight, nose down

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Hi Corbin,
You will not notice the difference until you get some bugs or precipitation on the wing, then you will notice a big difference (kills a lot of lift on the canard). I would suggest

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
So I should put my VG's back on, huh? I have been considering doing that. I only flew once or twice without them (not at gross) and couldn't tell a difference but wasn't really paying attention
