New flight
After 5 years rebuilding the TriQ200 my son flew it for the first time Sunday. A few adjustments to make but all is well. Second flight today and he flys it like a pro. Very proud and happy to see her

Max flying Weight++
I have a TriQ200 and flew at 1250 GW many times. That is with the LS1 canard. Not sure on the revmaster version sorry. 1100 sounds about right. Yes 2 - 250 lbs will fit and it is tight but doable.

Progress update
OK, So I will ring in here again. My original wing had the trailing edge reflexed up from the ailerons out to the tips by about 3/8 or an inch at the tips. Kind of hard to explain, but it was cut on t

Q-flight Counselor
Is there any interest by experienced members to actually do flight testing on planes? This way an experienced pilot could take the plane up for the first flight and help correct any trim issues etc. b
