Yes it is a fine bird and was a great start to the project. Just a few tweaks and a longer flight tomorrow.

Second Flight
Second flight completed this AM. Put over an hour on the plane. Added some tail weight to bring it more in the center of the CG range. Much more stable. Cooling seems adequate. Oil never peaked 200 an

Main Wing Tips
Pretty much. Pick a design that you like and go with it. I used 2 Bid to cover and 3 in the area that was thin as I made shear tips. I also installed a simple automotive light socket into the foam for

Fire extinguisher location
I feel that having a good fire extinguisher is mandatory equipment for any plane. With that said, we have a nice place for one in our TriQ in the area over the main wing. In the Q200 we just got flyin

Engine installation
I would not be concerned at all about the placement for the UL. Personally I would place the centerline exactly where the 0200 is and give it a run. Check the weight and balance carefully and go. I ha

My largest concern is more having a ground incident that would require the extinguisher. If the plane is on fire in the air, the best thing to do it get it on the ground and get out of it. I think we

Yes I put out a 210 once on fire and the powder was a mess. But we got the fire out!! It was on the ground and just had a new motor put in it. Sad

Finger Brakes
What are the master cylinders used for the differential finger brakes? Also can I tie them into toe brakes to give the passenger access to brakes in an emergency? Thanks for any help here.

Check your weight and balance REAL carefully if you do. CS props can be very heavy with the extra stuff in the hub. You may end up with a very heavy plane with adding weight in the tail and that will

The current prop probably is in the 7-10 lb range. So you will be doubling. Just do a new w/b and add necessary weight in the tail. I guess you will be adding 50+ pounds. But hey it’s worth a try. Mar
