All, Just a general report... As much as I can't believe it, it has been at least FIVE MONTHS since I last flew my Q-200; at least until today, that is. There have been plenty of periods when I didn't

Like I said, nothing here.

I have been receiving bits and pieces about Bob Justin's Tri-Q accident. Today I heard about as much as I'm going to get, so I thought I'd pass it along. I have spoken with Bob's son and the FAA inves

On my 15th flight I went inverted on the ground. The canopy smashed and I had grass in my face. Some kind souls ran out and lifted the plane off of me. IMHO a hammer would do no good. I do carry a ver

It's a Plexiglas type material. Cracks pretty easily, once you get it started. I have been through a few of them. Definitely not a polycarbonate (lexan). Sam

This article describes how far ingenuity and determination can really take us. In other words, there are no limits. http://home.mchsi.com/~shoskins/fastluscombe.html Best of the day to you, Sam Hoskin

No need to take it off-line. Just join the right group. Here is where you find about the various relevant Q groups: http://quickiebuilders.org/QBA05/qba_009.htm

Richard, you are missing the point. The Q-list is primarily for guys that want to build a fairly standard version of any of the Qs. That is what the list was created for and that is it's primary funct

Larry, The BEST place to get this info would be here: http://www.aeroelectric.com/consulting.html It's free and it's the best electrical info you are going to find. I would suggest making sure your gr

I unintentionally ground looped mine in early taxi tests, due in part to the fact that I had not yet done the Gall alignment. It didn't hurt the plane. However, a few years ago I had a tailspring brea

Jim, no way around it. I need to experience your locking tailwheel. Sam

Remember, some of us are now more experienced in these birds than QAC ever was. Sam

I am voulnteering to oversee the ground handling competition to be held at Jean. We are looking to gather significant data. You may enroll in as many events as your aircraft will allow. Obviously, thi

Chris, I think that was probably Doug Humble with the rope suggestion. BTW, seriously consider weighting down the tail. Even though the wheels are locked, a hearty dose of RPMs can pull it up over the

Phil, what do you do to make them better? I have had leaks, off and on, over the years. Sam

Phil, I'm an A&P. We do know things like fluid compatibility and pitted surfaces. Over the years I have both rebuilt and replaced the Airheart master cylinders. One leaks, the other doesn't. I may pop

Larry, here is an excellent way to do it. Put a hinge at the bottom. Take a look at this link. http://home.mchsi.com/~shoskins/modifications.html

Mike, the quest for lightness is a good path. Take super care in building. Resist the temptation to add a little extra here and there. I have never had a starter and that saves both starter and better

Joseph, you have come a long way! Sam
