IMHO, properly doing the Gall Alignment takes care of the handling issues. In the history of the Q-2/Q-200, there were a lot of handling issues because the plans didn't takke into account the weight o

Troy, if you haven't already, you need to get with Jim Patillo. He left his phone number in this thread. He has a lot of Q-200 experience in his a good head on his shoulders. He would be a primary res

This is what you need. Use the 48108 filters. Either that, or keep the original screen and get good at pulling your engine off. "ENGINE MOUNT OIL FILTER TAF-L | Aircraft Spruce" https://www.aircraftsp

First off, find a slightly heavier fiberglass rod. Maybe an inch more in diameter. But not too much, otherwise it'll be too stiff. You're going to have to drill out the old spring, not fun, but not im

Here is a belated congratulations, Jer. It's a real possibility that you have a thousand landings as well. I would say that makes you an expert. Sam

Taildragger or Tri-Q? If it's a taildragger the current axle is supported at both ends by the wheel pants. To go to a cantilever axle mount would probably be quite a big challenge, I would think. The

Here's the thing. On my wheels at least, the valve stem doesn't point straight out. In fact, when filling air on my bench I often have to wedge a screwdriver behind it so I can get the air hose on it.

Some guys have drill the hole to access the valve stem. I didn't do this. I simply drop the wheel twice a year to refill the air. It's not a big deal. I eyeball it on a pre-flight. If it looks low the

I guess you can call me old school. I adjust my dark ages manual reflexor before I take off, then once or twice in cruise, then once again in the pattern. Sam

I chimed in because I seem to remember an accident where this might have been a factor in a inflight elevator failure. I cannot remember details. This is a fatal accident Charlie was referring to. His

The cross over system is a maintenance nightmare. Two-into-one on each side is much more serviceable.

A properly baffled O-200 doesn't normally need an oil cooler. Exception might be If you are consistently flying in , 95° ambient. Sam

No, no, no. The steel is just fine. Just don't keep your finished bird unattended in the elements for 10 years. Do an annual condition inspection, lubricate annually, and the steel tubes will be just

I don't know nuthin' about the Revmasters, but I do want to relate what I know about one of our fatalities. Bob (his last name escapes me at the moment) had acquired a Q-2 with a Revmaster. Prior to t

I'm absolutely not certain about this, but the drawings for those parts might be somewhere on the Quickheads web site. I think Richard Kazmeric may have been selling those parts at one time. Sam

FYI, Airheart has ceased production of their 150 series brakes. Get replacements while you can. Sam

No. We don't need to step in. That's why we have this email list. If someone wants to know something about these airplanes, this is definitely the place to come. But for myself, I don't need to throw

FYI - Jim Doyle and Larry Weishaur designed and flew an LS-1 canard, without the elusive QAC carbon fiber spars. It started as a taildragger, then they changed toa Tri-Q after a groundloop incident, w

The Q-2 and variations are not the easiest aircraft to takeoff and land and are not to be taken lightly. They are a hot little bugger and have quirks that no other aircraft have. There have been sever
