Hi Kevin, I will put this on my calendar. I am pretty intrepid now that I have my XM satellite weather in real time in my Cherokee.Have not heard much from Charlie lately, but wouldn't it be cool if h

For what it is worth. I have loaned my kit for the detailed analysis of angle of attack to two members of this list and they have both been very careful and patient with all of the components and ship

Hi All, Some time ago, I did some airflow modeling on the tandem wing configuration of the Q-2 (LS1 canard and Eppler 1212 main wing). I have posted a diagram on Q-list group site that shows two model

Hi Sam, I was holding my breath, waiting for this announcement! I will certainly try to be there again. You all did a great job last year and I look forward to seeing everyone again! Cheers, Jay Schee

I do not want to represent myself as an expert, but I have measured the wing/canard angles on six extensively flown Tri-Q's. As far as I know all of the owner/pilots seem to be satisfied with the take

Dang it! Just put it on the calendar and it is smack up against a big conference here that I am the general chair of. Have to keep about 500 geologists entertained and enlightened. Guess that knocks m

Thanks Lynn and Jerry. Definitely some food for thought there. I would like to get Bob Clark's take. He has about double what Lynn has. I wonder if he still needs to use relexor when cruising? Cheers,

Thanks Bob for your input. Seems to validate what Lynn was saying. Glad you got your plane sold, but sorry we will not see you in a Q in the future. Maybe we will still see you at some fly-ins? Now ju

After consulting the calendar, I realize that I have a similar problem. Although mine occurred 22 years to the day prior to the Spring Fling. Probably not a good idea to voluntarily skip my anniversar

Hi All, Just to prove that I have not fallen off the wagon again. I have loaded a couple more time-lapse videos to You-tube in order to illustrate my slow steady progress. Elevators installation, pito

Hi Sanjay, Congrats on flying off your restrictions and reaching the 40 hour mark. You have no idea how much you inspire the rest of us to finish and fly our projects. You have really approached the w

Hi Paul, Your report is thorough, but demonstrates, not surprisingly, that you do not know where the critical vs. trivial items are on this plane. This is not a criticism, it is just to let you know t

For all who are interested, I did a time-compressed documentation of the LVK TW flyin for all who could not make it. I will unfortunately miss the FOD flyin this year, but wish I could be there! Below

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the enthusiastic and complete description of your mod. I am still at a stage where I can do the same mod (before it requires mod-ing). I am still having a hard time getting my hea

Thanks for your continuing efforts, Dan (and to Jimmy Masal for the nostalgia). To check the process, I went back and found Q-Talk, Volume 1, number 1 and re-discovered my favorite Q-tip of that era.

I also do not advocate adding vortex generators to your canard. First of all, the laminar flow airfoil, LS-1-MOD, is not a particularly good candidate for vortex generators because of flow separation

Rick, The nose gear plate is bolted against the firewall, and the bolts are tightened to increase the friction between the plate and the firewall. This allows the plate to transfer and spread its upwa

Hi Charlie. Hoping to see your "jewel" over here in Colorado sometime this spring. Are you getting comfortable with a cross country yet? Cheers, Jay

Hi Charlie, Thanks for the complete summary. I suspected that you had not stalled on the re-work of the cooling and I was right, it sounds like a real adventure. What a lot of effort though. I think y

And don't dare letting your wife see you do that... Just sayin' :-) Charlie has a little more leeway... Cheers, Jay
