Hi Vern, I got the thrust line on the 3300 pretty close (+/- 0.2”) to that of the O200. I was able to use my original Q-200 cowling halves with not too much alteration, other than the self-inflicted i

Hi Ian, There is a lot of good information in the files section of this group. Have a look at the folder: https://q-list.groups.io/g/main/files/Weight%20&%20Balance I just added my spreadsheet that I

I computed the vertical position of my empty CG when I was doing my weigh and balance by changing the angle of the fuselage from zero and recording the difference in scales and FS’s, then computed the

My feeling is that the vertical CG and by association the center of thrust are not critical in affecting the handling or stability. I say this because the Tri-Q adds a good 50 pounds well below the ai

I think the drawing that I sent you the link for should be sufficient to create a Cad model for fabrication. They are not complex or high tolerance parts. Cheers, Jay

Page 82 in the following linked document has a scale drawing of the mount pillar. Should be sufficient to build from. Cheers, Jay http://n8wq.scheevel.com/documents/Q2_Q200_Plans_Abridged_for_Scheevel

Good job Sam. Maybe we can get him to take us in the really big hangar to show us that giant experimental that he works on. Cheers, Jay

Mike, Yes the gauges can be can be customized with arc limits as desired. Cheers, Jay

Hi Mike, Thanks. I will look to see if I can change that screen format. It’s called IFRR (I follow roads and rivers) Cheers, Jay

Don’t slip and fall Jon. That looks dangerous! 😉 BTW, I did another time lapse video yesterday. This one includes the landing in time lapse mode. Don’t blink or you will miss it. https://m.youtube.com

Hi Vern, All the gory details are in the following linked document: http://n8wq.scheevel.com/documents/build_logs/11_N8WQ-log_Finishing-Painting.pdf Cheers, Jay

Thanks for your perspectives, Vern. And yes, I turned the final exterior painting of my plane over to a buddy of mine with 40+ years of automotive and aircraft painting experience, for just the reason

Thanks Vern. I take that as a compliment! Cheers, Jay

They were constructed from 1” thick nylon sheet stock. I did not measure exactly but if the strap is ½” with a little slop to fit without binding, then you have a little less than ¼” on either side of

Hi Mike, I use a program called Telemetry Overlay, but it costs $$ and I have been told that Dashcam does similarly, but it is free. I think you have used that in the past. It is cold, but when the su

Hi All, Went flying today and mounted the camera on the tail. I did some boring take-off (https://youtu.be/sOgFiZTXf9g ) and landing (https://youtu.be/pRe4yT-mqaw ) videos, ….but the fun one is when I

Hi Sam, How about we work on Ray Johnson in Australia with that beautiful Q2 with UL engine that he posted on the Q2 facebook page? For those of you that have not seen it. I am posting a picture below

Hi Mike, Chris' method is solid (no pun intended). They should have used that in the plans, as long as the floor is level. 😊 Cheers, Jay

If you do create the DWG or DXF formatted files, it would be nice to have them on the Q-list files section. There are no copyright infringements, since QAC is long gone and left no ownership trail to

I also have a full set. I can get them scanned 1 to 1 on a full sized scanner if there is a need. Which sheets are you specifically needing? Cheers, Jay
