If you have patience and a good command of profanity you can use the piano hinge like on the RVs and Glasairs, but , I have lost half my hair installing them on my Glasair cowl. For cost and a signifi

Mike---------------- Not much force needed to move the reflexor. If yours is built already, grab the cable with some vise grips and get it to move. I am just guessing here, but I think on mine 5 lbs p

Robert------------- For alignment you may want to turn the fuselage upside down, installing 1x4 along the longeron to spread the load. Load the canard close to the tips to 450 lbs each side. Buy yours

Robert----------- I just finished and got to fly the airplane last year, so I only have 40 hrs on it so far, but, I do have a Dragonfly with 800 hrs on it and it has the same set up. My entire vertica

Robert---------- A bit different than plans, but preinstalled cable ends from ACS going to the cable joiners at the fuselage break and then to the two clevis ends at the rudder pedals.-------------- C

I have always uses stainless cable and have the custom ends swagged at Aircraft Spruce. The other end I use the nicopress with the cheap homebuilder tool from ACS. The one you use a 1/2 wrench to tigh

Robert------------- On mine I have the battery in the back also, so I have a couple bolts going through bulkhead on the fuselage. From these the battery cables run to the engine and on the back side a

Robert------------ I built the same as the plans like Tim referenced to, but I made a bit longer FC2 and drilled holes every 1/2 inch. This allows you precise adjustment for your rudder pedals. If you

Mike----------- The other Mike and Jay are exactly right. Don't overthink it. If built per plans, even if you don't do your checklist and the reflexor is set wrong, most airplanes will fly although yo

One other thing for the reflexor control. Do not put a detent at your neutral position. Neutral at 900 lbs will not be neutral at 1250. Take care-------------- Chris

Regarding reflexor, to all the people that are using them, has anyone had any creep or movement with just a normal cable actuating system. I never have, on both my airplanes, but am curious about othe

Mike----------- I checked it out and I think I used the Model 3 internal reversing. There are a good selection that will work.--- Chris

Mike ---------- The throttle is from Air Craft Spruce. Red one is throttle and black is turbo boost.------------ Chris

Mike--------------- My reflexor is set with the control on the forward side of the bulkhead, same design as yours. Because the reflexor donut is snug and the aileron torque tube is well lubricated the

Tim---- There are close to 8 billion people on this planet and you are one of the few that have flown your own Q. Welcome. Any video??-------- Chris

Mike----------- You may also look at the center consol for level. Lots of us build it to level and then use that for reference. Your firewall should also be at 90 degrees to the waterline. Have fun---

Mike------------- When I was building my Q200 Jay helped with my angle of attack. I sent Jay some pictures of the airplane stance and he found out I had the 7-8 degrees called for. I had built my cent

Sam------------- Good report. I don't know if I said before, but I am building a Glasair 2SFT. The airplane came with lots of parts missing, so I decided to build my own style wing tips. I had some ol

I have never flow with a belly board , but, I turn my airplane sideways and it slows down and loses all the altitude I need. Works as is for me.------------------ Chris

Here are a few pictures of what I did for the trim. The one picture shows the pushrods going to the bellcranks. I made the bellcranks I think 1 1/2 inches longer to be less sensitive, and I also have
