Newbie, Charlie described waterlines perfectly. Yes, W&B on a Q2 or 200 is done with the tail raised to 0.00 water line. To do this place an inclinometer on the firewall and raise the tail until the i

Thanks again to all who contributed to my unscientific poll. Between the 13 Q flyers who responded, I've counted a total of 9,924 hours of flying time. You would think in that amount of time we would

Larry, You may want to take a closer look at my LaRue Mod shown in the files to the left listed under Jim Patillo/brakes. The caliper/pucks are floating on four points so that the caliper slides horiz

David, The small cameras we bought (Like Jon Finnley's) on ebay earlier this year had pretty lousy resolution. I tried one but shitcanned the idea until something better appears. Thats probably why yo

Wes, You may want to take a look at N46JP sitting next you. I found the axles tubes to weak right away and replaced them with thicker wall aluminum. I then machined and installed stainless through bol

John, Those composite parts do not like heat. An attic is a poor choice for storage. Don't do it as you will regret it! Jim Patillo N46JP Q200 LVK-More flying Q200's than any place in the world". to

About a year ago I noticed my #2 cylinder loosing compression. The cylinders only had 400 hours on them, so I continued to monitor the compression through the year. It was always 62-65/80 and the othe

As I said before, the leak was not through the valves Bart, it was through the rings. I could not hear any leak coming from the intake or exhaust, it was from the crankcase. If it was an exhaust valve

Bruce Crain, Finally looking for a good starter, brother? Get the 320 mod on a B&C and you'll be very happy. It only took me three tries to convince myself the one I was using was to much of a pain in

Phil, Glad to see you are about and kicking. I hope all is well with you and Cherie after your unscheduled contact with mother earth. Those kind of things can have a tendency to slow one down. Did you

Dave & Susie, Sam Hoskins said it all! You both have worked hard on this project, congratulations. Now let the fun begin! P.S. Just remember when you've got about a hundred hours or so on her and you'

This weekend was the first time in 650 hours of flying my Q that I ever had to go around,(and did it twice)! Several of us flew into Pine Mountain Lake near Yosemite for lunch. The runway is narrow, a

No thwarting disaster here Damian, I try not to do that! Just a little more work than usual in my Q bird. In 40+ years of flying its just one of those things. The point is that the plane reacts really

Thats it Sam! Why didn't I think of it? More flying, of course. In 60+ moths of flying this plane (first flight August 2000) I've put right at 700 hours on it. Thats probably 50% more than most will e

James, My stall speed(if the airspeed indicator is correct)is 64-65 MPH. Maybe your vortex generators would make my plane go backwards which would make it even harder when trying to land. Jim P. P.S.
