My first flight was nothing like this and I’m sure many others experienced the same as me on their first flight, as it was a non event. Apparently Steve didn’t have much if any complex or fast slick a

Reread my last message to you. After I wrote it, I caught what I said and retracted it. You know head up ass! I’m sure you’ve never seen that view before. 😎 Jim N46JP Q200 Sent from Outer Space

Hi John, Steve passed away in 2010 as the highest time pilot in a Q with over 2,300 hours. Don’t know the runway length but I remember him as being Canadian. Jim N46JP Q200 Sent from Outer Space

Bruce, disregard that last stupid question about the heli-coil. I wasn’t thinking about what I was writing. I hope I don’t have to go there. You are right, splitting the case is not fun! Jim N46JP Q20

Q2 - 1989 https://vimeo.com/16817064?ref=em-share I thought some of you newer guys might like to watch Dr. Steve K’s first solo flight in his Quickie. Definitely not a good way to start. Jim N46JP Q20

Why did he have to pull the cases apart to install a heli-coil for a cylinder? Jim N46JP Q200 Sent from Outer Space

Hi Mike, yes BABY homes in on Auburn well cause she wants to go home!😊. Hang in there buddy. One of those guys should cut loose soon and you will be representing us in Vegas before you know it. Maybe

Thank you Bruce for all your help. I don’t have any heli-coils installed (yet). But I get what your saying. Will let you know when I get there. Jim N46JP Q200 Sent from Outer Space

Hey Mike, nice video. Does that thing float? Just askin😊. I remember one up in Canada seemed to do ok when it landed in a lake. I’ve flown throughout this entire Covid 19 thing and always under NorCal

Will do Jay. Jim N46JP Q200 Sent from Outer Space

Thanks Bruce, I’m gonna pull both top and bottom thru bolts first, then do one cylinder at time. 2 then 3. Those thru bolts go through both cylinders. I’m going to stroke the rod fully out, remove the

Sorry Bruce. Not to confuse everyone but I’m now referring to the #4 cylinder case bolt (half thru bolt you just repaired). Not the thru bolt did previous. Jim N46JP Q200 Sent from Outer Space

Yes it is Jay. It belongs to a friend who is restoring it. A few months back he took out the end of the left wing. Seems hangars don’t move easily. That has now been repaired. I hope to see it fly soo

Been tryin Mike but hangars here are limited. If you can find someone that will let you in (to share) they typically want $500.00 + per month, even when I tell them I only need it for 4 days a week. K

A little ugly landing in Auburn yesterday. Rain and pissin’ snow. Two days before it was severe clear and right at 70 degrees Jim N46JP Q200

Thanks Jay. I’ll give that horse trader a call. 😊 Jim N46JP Q200 Sent from Outer Space

Hey Sam, glad to know you and Sandy and kids/grandkids are good! Sorry to hear about your friend. My daughter is a critical care RN at Washington Hospital near San Jose and that makes me very anxious
