Main Wing
Anyone got a completed main wing they want to get rid of? it would save me having to build another one. I have a set for my son's Q200, but my Tri-Q needs a new one now also. Let me know please.

I purchased back my tri-Q that we built in 1985. It was built as a tail wheel bird and competed in the CAFE 400 back in the day. I converted to Tri-Q in the early 90s and loved that plane. I sold it a

CS prop on Q2?
This is a good question. I will shoot him an e-mail and see. I just assumed that he would make them for all sizes.

I would agree. Also Prince has done a pretty good job. One that I will be trying is the silver bullet from Gary Hertzler. It is a very low drag prop that gives great climb as well as cruise performanc

I am using EZ Poxy, but you can also use the Aero Poxy as well they are both a high strength structural bond. West should only be used for non structural and fill applications. It does not have a high

The rotation of these engines is opposite. That would explain the difference in offset.

I have run my header tank down below the 1 gallon mark (completely by accident) and had no effect on the performance. I believe the 0200 will operate completely fine on the gravity feed system as desi

Tri Q landing gear
Great news, I had thought about making some molds from an unstarted set of fuselage parts I had, but no need to. Glad to see someone taking the time to bring this great plane back into the field. Fast

Just peel it back a bit and put a tape line around the canopy where you will be glassing up to. The stuff is water soluable so it will come off easy enough, but leave as much on for now as you can to

Tri Q Belly Board / Speed brake use it or not ?
I flew my TriQ for 250 hrs and used mine on every flight. The only bad thing is that on a go around you really cannot put it up so you have to use a bit more throttle on the go around. I would put it
