Mike, My spar had about 300 hours on it when it failed. When I originally jigged and put the spars together, I looked them over very carefully and did not see any sign of stress or cracks. They looked

Its kind of interesting that none "not one of the guys" with over 500 hours on the LS1 spar clock have spoken up. What does this mean? Jim P. Heading for Watsonville Airshow this Weekend!

John, Knock it off with the "optimism" crap and other negative and pompous remarks you're making to me and others! I'm really getting tired of it. As I told you in my e-mail stop the sophmoric stuff.

John, I stand by my last e-mail and will have no further comment on this issue with you. Its a matter of record. I published what happened to me simply for the benefit of the group and to encourage ot

Tad, The only Q200 spar failure has been mine which is docummented extensively in Q-Talk #87. It failed and was repaired in late 2003 and has since had several hundred hours put on and flown at gross

Relax Phil, John and I are still good friends! We're were just having a lively debate at each others expense both on and offline. We both want to help solve the puzzle and will. The truth shall set yo

FYI, think its the same one? I am sad to say that Frank Follmer passed on about Sept 26 after a battle with cancer. I would like to make a brief mention of his life and his contribution to the Q commu

Earnest, What you described about fuel in the vent line was what I was warning people about a couple of years ago and even more recently. THIS WILL STOP AN ENGINE AT ROTATION OR JUST AFTER. I had fill

Steve, You are correct. I knew the guy that died in that crash. He was a retired United Airlines mechanic that highly modified his Q200. He lived in San Carlos, CA. After the first crash where he misj

Tad, You are 100% incorrect! The foam in canard, main wing and control surfaces will melt before your eyes when exposed to fuel. Need to do some more investigatin' Jim Patillo <rebeccaandtad_simpson@y

Tad, Sorry about saying your wings would melt, my fault! I did not understand that your wings were built from something different than used on EZE,LEZE, DF,Q1, Q2 or Q200's. For the rest of us "GAS OR
