Nick, I use the ratchet type cable. You can see it here, just aft of the control stick. I normally only adjust it three times during flight; before takeoff, cruise, and in the landing pattern. BTW, th

Mike, thanks for much for keeping us informed of what happened. Maybe we can keep somebody else from having the same accident. In my Q-200 I've been using the B&C starter for some time and I'm quite h

Good idea Mike. We're on the road right now, when I get back I will add a "Lessons learned" folder.

Fredd, now that we have that legal understanding out of the way, we have some questions, like: What is the current condition? When was the last time it flew? How long has it been in storage? What engi

The person who holds a repairman certificate for particular aircraft, holds that certificate for life unless they turn it back in. As long as there's no major changes to that aircraft, that repairman

Sorry it took so long, I know you Q-Tour fans have been chomping at the bit. We have a really crappy internet connection and it took over 28 hours to upload! Anyhow, I think it's well worth the wait.

When I got out to the hangar, there was still an ice ridge, which I quickly dispatched with a ball peen hammer. It's a beautiful day. I flew down to the confluence of the Ohio (brown water) and Missis

Yes, it will be a couple of days though. I'll send out an announcement when it's posted to YouTube. Sam

Please note the time, it is a little different. It should be a really interesting presentation. This month's Q-Tour features Matthew Curcio. I met Matthew at Oshkosh a few years ago. He was living in

Thanks for linking the plans page Michael, So, the plans called for the AN525-10R10 both forward and aft of the split line. I see that I used flat head screws for the front and buried them and use the

This month's Q-Tour features Matthew Curcio. I met Matthew at Oshkosh a few years ago. He was living in Ohio and had just acquired a Q-200. He got the plane up and running and got a job at Scaled Comp

If I recall correctly, the plans call for using the AN525-10R11 SCREW, which is a round headed screw with kind of a flat washer base. I don't think the plans called out for a flush screw for this appl
