Nope. One of too many on my ignore list there. There ARE a lot of bright guys on HBA but there is a definite ebb and flow to the quality of the posts. Seems to be on the negative side of the sine curv

Bad news. My old TurboCad can still make nice paper prints but *.DXF, *.IGS, *.DWG just don't import to Solidworks. Creating from scratch would be faster than the manipulation required. Conversion to

Revmaster - Splitting the case
Remove the flywheel and prop hub bolts before splitting the case. Look up VW Flywheel Lock. It is nothing more than a little device that bolts on the upper case bolts and engages the starter ring gear

Quickie Q1 Canard and wing foam cut
What diesel engine are you considering? I looked at the V-twin Chinese diesels more than a decade ago and discarded the idea as not practical. There are some interesting marine 2 stroke diesel develop

Quickie Q1 Canard and wing foam cut
Forgot to mention that finding/making cores cores is not going to be the problem. The Q-1 LS-1 uses the same spar as the Q-200, just a different part of them. I've been away from the Q world so long I

Quickie Q1 Canard and wing foam cut
Quickie LS-1 templates CAD generated via TurboCad many years ago: BTW the CAD files posted on the old site were scanned from my work, by another, and are NOT true to the original.

Q1 parts
Just joined this group today and saw this post. I do have the Q-1 in 2D CAD and at one time a set of full size prints for the metal parts and templates. I still have the files but my plotter died and

Q-2 templates
It's not so much the plans as the full size templates. The templates get destroyed while making the plane. If one knows where to look the plans are available for down load on the Internet for both ver

Tire tubes
No, they are not the same wheels and tires. The original Q-1 tires are VERY similar to the original BD-5 tires and the wheels are the same size, 4". 65 psi sounds about right, and close to what I reme

Mono wheel
I just finished an X-plane sim. Took the side view and moved the 'dragger positioned wheel to the center. Due to the length (high CG long arm) the plane wants to tip much more than one with short gear

Mono wheel - again
I have not yet had the privilege of flying a glider, but is suspect that we'd all be better pilots if we had benefit of this experience. Was this flying done from a paved surface or from dirt/grass? A

Jon Finley set up Q-Perfoemance - but it got little use and it is now gone. If we just mind Etiquette rule # 2 I think we can all coexist. The delete key isn't that hard to use - IF - we know what to

Mono wheel - again
Seems I've done a partial 360 on the mono wheel thing. At first glance I thought it looked like an attractive option/modification if I could figure out what to do with the fuel tank. Then I read this,
