Happy New Year to you both. Great photos and glad to hear you got ahead of the January 1 crowd. Best wishes for 2023! Cheers, Jay

Hi Chris, I did some careful testing of solvents when I was building my Q. I ended up using what is called "Fabric Wash". It is formulated and sold by Air-Tech Coatings Inc. They specialize in finishe

Glad you got it back home again, Mike. Bob and company did a great job on that repair. I am certain you will enjoy it for many more years. Happy flying into the new year! Cheers, Jay

Very nice work, Norm. Congratulations are well earned! Over the years we have seen a couple of Q2's with corvair power that were unable to generate enough power on take-off (for various reasons). The

Sorry Kevin. One I have is only 50”. Let me know if you still want it. Cheers, Jay
