Corbin, The axle shaft bolt and nuts of the Q is a little light and tube can get bent with repeated hits to the runway. I replaced mine with larger 3/8” Stainless stock that fully fills the tube

Oops... Too much force here could wreck the wheel bearings due to too much side load on them. I typically tighten until I feel the rotating tire just gets a little stiff. Not very tight! That's

As I recall I cut the threads into a solid rod. But it's been over 30 years, so I could be mistaken! Paul Fisher Q-200 N17PF

I over tightened my axle castle nut and snapped the end off the rod. What’s the easiest and fastest recommendation for a replacement? Corbin -- Corbin N33QR

Yes! But it’s pretty straight forward. Jim N46JP - Q200 Sent from Outer Space

I’d need to learn how to remove elevators to access that slot, right? Corbin -- Corbin N33QR

That’s the second time those lights were recommended today. I think I’ll order some! Corbin -- Corbin N33QR

I was coming to OGD one day and the tower was warning people small, fast, hard to see. I stuck a half a dozen of these on the

Corbin an option would be to run the power/ground wires down the elevator core slots using 5 min epoxy to keep wires in place and mount the wig-wags in the front or side of the wheel pants. I

Good eye. Yep, removable brake covers inside of wheel pants. The light I have is a wig wag and having two to benefit from that would be great. Just not sure how to get wires down to wheel

I see you have removable covers on your brake assembly/axles. Perhaps you could engineer some kind of wig-wag using high intensity LED’s incorporated into those covers. Or maybe put two landing

Hey Jim, Mine is not actually for night flying. It is for increased visibility at the uncontrolled field I fly into. We have many student pilots that have trouble seeing me on final. I have had two

It would be nice to hear from guys that actually installed a landing light on their Q and if they really got benefit from it. I’ve never had one on my Q and have landed it many times in the dark.,

Thanks guys! I’m starting to think this is doable and within reason. I’ll start with practicing on hearing/bending plexiglass while designing a hole to cut in lower cowling. I have the light and

Following Sam's plan, you can shape the Plexiglas to a compound curve, matching that of your cowl cutout by using a heat gun and gentle pressure with your hands (where leather gloves). Once you have

Corbin. Here's the Sam Hoskins method. Buy the light and a mounting bracket, if available. Look at your cowl and figure out where you have room. (If you want to get fancy you can use the ghost images

I messed up on my confidence project. Somehow I misread the thickness dimension and built it one inch thick. It's very strong, though.

That was the original intent of that project, but Corbin is going to be doing a mod on his cowl to install a landing light, so will be mostly glass, probably with little or no foam, so the confidence

Awesome....looks like great reading material. Thank you! -- Corbin N33QR

Jay, Would the plan's confidence project be good for practice.
