Hey Jon! I used 2--80 lb struts. I also drilled the hole for the bottom strut "peg" so that the canopy goes all the way up to the fuselage shell with a little pre-loading. Your throw on your strut may

Earnest Martin, Could you give us a rundown of the performance of your MT Prop? How many RPMs do you get on take off? Is the low end adjustable? How much has your climb out improved? Has it shortened

Many thousand thanks Tom, You have made a quality contribution to the QBA group. It is much appreciated my friend. Hope to see you soon. Thanks again. Bruce Crain _____________________________________

Neil, I have a filter in My Q200 from Earl's Performance Prod. Long Beach, Ca 90805 USA Article no. 230106. You can find the same filter in Wicks (same number) with a bronze element. It fits 3/8" tube

Before you fill the holes and lay up with the cloth I would drill several little 1/16" or smaller holes around the circumference of the damage. Then I would mix a very wet micro mix and syringe it int

Dick, Wayne Ulvestad is a Dragon Fly driver that just installed a Jabiru. He showed it off at the Ottawa fly in. Looked great. If you could get in touch with him it would be well worth it. Bruce Crain

Neil, I gave you the white arc at 134 mph. That is actually the suggested maneuvering speed for Chandelles, Lazy eights, and Steep turns. The white arc is supposed to be full flap operating speeds and

Hi Neil, I have a tach from Electronics International (in sport aviation) that has a digital readout, plus an hour meter, plus time in route, plus max rpm. It works off of 1 mag side with a 2nd side r

Your welcome Neil. Electronics International didn't show an E-mail but they have a web sight. www.Buy-EI.com They have a Fax: (541) 318-7575. The E.I. prices may be a little bit higher but I don't lik

My hanger mate says a ground plane for a transponder/encoder should be a square or a circle (preferred) 5.31" diameter. My friend with a Lancair says they tested and found that a 12" to 14" disc worke

Oops, I forgot to ask for personal preferences on external fuselage spike antenna or internal for transponder/encoder. Bruce Crain (inquiring mind) ____________________________________________________

Thanks for the help guys on the transponder and radio glitches. I routed some coax differently plus replaced a poor quality coax and flew today. Woodring tower and also Vance approach replied to my ra

Use Pythagorean's theory and figure the length of the short line at the end of the triangle using the level as one of the 3 lines of the triangle. That would show how long the short line needs to be i
