I didn't say it in my last post, Earnest, but my recollection is that Sheehan said that 220 was as far as they were interested in testing it but he indicated that it wasn't necessarily the end of the

I remember an Oshkosh forum where Gene said that the Q200 was tested to a Vne of 220. This matches the supplement which I never saw. j.

Denton is about 30 mi. north of me and someone last year told me about seeing a Q up there but other than that, I know not of what you speak. I will poke around. j.

Maybe, Jeff, we should raffle off a car to get more people to come. Masal, Thayer and Kittle flew commercially. Wuz dat all? j.

To piggyback off of GALL's email, the BB foam was an orange color. In the good ol' days there was much discussion of "peel strength" which I took to be the amount of force necessary to peel a strip of

In Dallas I found blue foam at a bank safe manufacturer. It must be used for insulation. My local Dow Company office sent me to them. j.
