Great idea, I do believe that Jim did sell his project, but I am yes interested in picking up a Tri Gear bird for reasonable rather than change a beautiful flying machine. I did find a set of the Airh

Mike, Thank you. And my full name is Martin Skiby. I appreciate your response and as it turns out I found a box that came with a kit my son had purchased that has breaks and wheels in it! So we are ne

May be sage advise, but ours was originally built as a tail wheel plane and I converted. I feel that the design in solid in both configurations and our plane actually was 3rd in the CAFE 400 in 1983 I

Yes Sam really, My son is having a great time with the TriQ and it is very fast for what it is, but he wants to go back to the tail wheel. I need to get him a right seat ride in one first for sure. He

Ok group. I have a Tri Q 200 that my son and I just got flying again. It was built by my father in law as a tail dragged and I converted to Tri gear in the 90's. My son has a passion for the tail whel

Richard, I have been looking thru the information on the SARL race website and discussing with several folks at the airport and there is a significant interest in having a race here in CA. If you woul

Yesterday we got a wicked shimmy when landing a bit fast. I believe all is well however am really not happy with the shimmy dampener that we have, which is the bellevue washers. Jay sold me an update

This would be great. I absolutely am interested in getting something started in CA. There are a few Q200 guys in the Livermore area that I can maybe convince to participate as well.

Exactly. My wife won the Copperstate Dash three years in a row and took the Sun 100 in her Vari Eze. No BS. We we know a few things about making things go as fast as possible. :)

Sam I notice every one of those races are back East. Texas is the closest. Any change of holding them in the West Coast some time?

it is faster than you will expect. Will verify soon. :)

Mike, just going by the pilot claim on the pass. We will do some additional testing fur sure however this has always been a quick plane and we did do a few more improvements in the rebuild. Let's hope

Jim, Come on down to MIT some time and see us. Martin

Nice job. I took my nylaflow all the way to the brake, but installed a sleeve of larger nylaflow in the gear leg so I can easily change the tube at any time. Has not been changed since 1995 at this po

I would flox a couple of nut plates into the foam then install a screw in them with a long shank and put some vaseline on it. Glass around the screw with your layups. # layers should do it. Unscrew th

We are in Bakersfield CA and actually just moved to MIT in Shafter with a new hanger. The home of Strega and some really nice airport folks. You are all invited out whenever you want to come.

Will do. We did some modifications to the gear when we got it as I was not happy with the design on the top. We added some gussets and it has worked fine thus far. However when I got it back I notice

Shafter California (MIT) Yes we built in the 80's as a conventional gear and took third place in the CAFE 400 back then. Converted to TriQ in the early 90's and sold to a fell ow in FL. Hangar door fe

Yes Jay that is correct and sorry for the delayed response. Been at the airport!!

Jay, Nice job on getting close. I don't know if you remember me but you loaned me your incidence tool for the main wing and I bought your extra nose gear. Anyway we completed (finally) the project and
