Hi All, Does anyone have a pair of LS2 Elevator torque tubes in as New condition that they want to sell. Im only interested in original new condition ones, not used or made up ones. Contact me off lin

I am very shocked and saddend with this news. I have been in regular contact with Dave since last September when I bought my TriQ, and he has always been helpful and ready to advise. He came across to

So Chris, Does that mean you have been off the ground yet in your Q or are you still building up to it ? Richard Thomson Weston s Mare , UK Tri-Q G-BMFN (Approaching Re-birth) richard@...

Hi Guys, I have been watching this thread with interest as I am considering a similar problem. As I started repair of mine, I had a 26 A/hr 19 lb yausa at 4" aft of the tail break. That makes it at ab

I would try to talk to Scott Swing for his advice as the designer of the gear, as he may have different ideas than the contractor who made them. Its looks a similar item to the Varieze and Longeze und

Hi Larry, The Hillclimbers site is very interesting. I see that the Chinooks you had were the Hybrid metal bonded type blade, and looks like Hexicel core. Doing patch repairs on battle damage with lim

The Corvair link is very interesting. Last century, I was involved with the Formula Air racing boys. I'm sure that Steve Thompson's Cassutt racer, which was either a C90 or 0-200 , was rated on the dy

Hi All, Anyone have a materials list for the reflexor, or tell me what the QCSAR3 is made from ( thats the main fitting )? Richard Thomson England UK

Thanks guys. I keep forgetting about the amount of good info on the file database. That one looks a lot simplier Paul, thanks for the info. I'll have to decide which will be the best to use. Cheers, R

Hi Guys, One thing that I have found while taking my TriQ apart, which may apply to other Q's, is the amount of corrosion on the Elevator torque tubes. According to the log book, the aircraft had been

As I stripped all the paint on the elevators, I noticed that there were two sets of "Lands" where the Sparrow Strainers supports had been. One set on the inboard side, where all you guys reckon they s

I dont know where that question came from Dave, I have mass balenced weight, but the weight is only on the right ( starboard ) side, and I do not have the Tri Q linkage, only one tube per side going s

Hi Chris, Although you may not use the upper filler to fill the tank, you can use it to inspect the tank if you need to , and work through it if necessary. I could not remove the filler when I first g

Hi Chris, Yes of course the periscope is positive pressure, I realised the fopah just as I sent it. But you have set me thinking that perhaps it is not the best design or in the best place, especially

Thanks Mike, I'll try to remember to center things properly :-) That makes a lot of sense, all I need now is to compare the ones I have taken off the Center to a set of inboard ones. It may be that th

Great report Bob. It gives me a boost of enthusiasm when someone draws a picture with their words like yours. It also reminds me how lucky you guys are to have so much fantastic scenery with free airs

Sam, If anyone can perfect mid air refueling in a Tri Q , I hope to make it next year. Richard Thomson Weston s Mare , UK Tri-Q 200 G-BMFN richard@...

Bob, Like Lynn's, mine go straight from the stick to the torque tube arms. I have only one mass balance weight on the right hand side, which means that the balancing of the left one is indirect throug

Hi Rene, Mine is 25 . 75 inches from the inside face of the cowl at the prop end to the edge that abuts the fuselage. It is fitted with a prop extension, which I think is 5 " . Richard Thomson Weston
