Great video, Mike, I remember maybe 20 years ago touring the museum when I was in that area. It was impressive then, better now. When I was there, I went into the gift shop to find something as a mome

Yikes, you guys keep getting farther away with the FOD. I show 1662 NM as the crow flies. I think that Paul Buckley may actually be closer....but... it does sound like an adventure... ;-) Cheers, Jay

Jon, Let me know if you ever get your RV up in this neck of the woods. I keep my plane at C07 (Mack, Colorado). We would love to see you here and there are a lot of back country pilots here that can s

Hi Bruce, Great report, and you have no idea how inspirational you are for us old Quickie builders, who are still on the trail to Q-flightdom. Cheers, Jay Scheevel -- Tri-Q, still building

Hi Sam, Just put a new 3-blade prop on my cherokee. I was surprised to find that the front plate on the spinner was bonded to the spinner with some kind of adhesive. It is a McCauley prop and the spin

Charlie, That is great. I am glad you finally got a prop that gets you some hops. Let me know if you feel comfortable coming over to Grand Junction and I will make sure to make you comfortable here. A

I am considering only having a main-tank fuel filler and loading the header tank with the pump, before or during fueling. Does anyone see any downside in eliminating the filler for the header tank? Ot

Thanks Paul, Might have to make a flight up to have another look this spring, since I am getting into the home stretch. Cheers, Jay

For your amusement. I am using my Cherokee 235 to keep my sport racing and landing skills honed for the eventual day when I fly my Tri-Q. Here is a video to demonstrate: http://youtu.be/UQBVAEBbIDM Ch

This plane is located on my home field in Mack, Colorado. It has not flown in a couple of years, but appears to be in good shape. Let me know if anyone wants more detailed photos. Cheers, Jay Scheevel

Thanks Dave, My wife Mary Beth, was having second thoughts about coming with me. This will be the first September without school aged kids at home, since my youngest will start college in August. You

Hi Dave, A work conflict has reared its ugly head and I am afraid I will have to pull my name off of the "attendee" list for FOD. I am really disappointed to miss seeing all of you east-coasters, but

So sorry to hear about this Sam. I am glad to hear you are both physically unharmed. No one can expect that you would not be down in dumps otherwise, though. I agree with Jerry M, and others. The Q-cr

Discussion of Quickie type aircraft information Hi All, I am sorry I was not able to make it to the Lobsta-fest last weekend, being on call for work I had to stay close to home, but I did make it to a

This is Bob Clark’s plane. I thought he sold it to a guy in Florida, but apparently it is in Texas now. It has a different prop on it from when Bob owned it. Looks like a Prince P-tip. Owner claims th

Overall, I am not impressed with the new Yahoo site layout. Normally, I receive the group messages as e-mail, so I got on the Yahoo site for the first time in several months and on the plus side I see

Great news Paul. You really keep me motivated AND I am making progress. Sam kittle stopped by last month while traveling and can confirm. He is lookink like he is not too far away from flying also. Th

Hi Phil, Just catching up on Q-list stuff since work has taken me away for a few weeks. I think your plane is Bob Clark's old plane. I have measured the angle of incidence of both wings of about 25 Q'

Hi Phil, Have you been able to accurately measure what the fuselage station of your main gear axles are when the aircraft is unloaded and level. This would be helpful to understand what you CG numbers

Hi Phil, Again, just catching up with backlog. The entry about flutter and delamination is scary, but I suspect that it was not flutter in the classic sense, since the mass balance will dampen strongl
