Well yesterday I gave thanks for abundance, family and friends. Today I gave thanks for completing my annual condition inspection, beautiful clear fall skies, and the freedom to fly. So I went for a n

Great report, Bruce. Very "Crain-ian" Glad you have your autopilot in good working condition. Makes getting to those fly-ins that much easier! Cheers, Jay

Very nice work, Norm. Congratulations are well earned! Over the years we have seen a couple of Q2's with corvair power that were unable to generate enough power on take-off (for various reasons). The

Sorry Kevin. One I have is only 50”. Let me know if you still want it. Cheers, Jay

I have one Kevin. What is the length you need? Measure your’s length from tip to tip and I can compare to mine and let you know if it’s a fit. Cheers, Jay

Get well quick, Keith. Hope you got all the crops in before you got laid up. Cheers, jay

BTW, after looking at your install photos, I would suggest moving your capacitor to the inside of the firewall. It will last longer if it is on the lower temperature side of the firewall. Cheers, Jay

Hi Robert That is certainly a possibility. I have not seen it on a Q200, but if it were me, I would be very concerned about frying my canard. At a minimum you will put a lot of exhaust stains on the c

Looking really good, Dave. Glad you got the finish on before the snow flies. Thanks for the update. Tell Roddy to give us any news on his “repairs”. Cheers, Jay

I have been dragging my feet on starting my annual condition inspection (actually only due by end of November), so I took advantage of two days this weekend of beautiful calm, cool autumn weather to g

Thanks for the photos, Steven. Glad you got to see Kevin’s nice Q2. It looks like you have a “custom” nose gear leg and fork on your tri-Q. Just from an eyeball evaluation, you may find that the desig

Yep. Sometimes I glance down and think I am being “escorted” 😉

Hi Mike, Yes it was yesterday and today. I got off early from Prescott to avoid the incoming weather. Got great tailwinds coming home, but had to get home before noon to avoid the big crosswinds on ou

Well, Keith...here is a more thorough answer to your question 😊 I flew down to Prescott, Arizona yesterday, spent the night with my son, Carl and then flew back this morning. It was all good. Had a li

Just for fun, I plotted the maximum and minimum density altitude for all of my flights so far in my Jabiru 3300 powered Tri-Q2. Here is the plot. The X axis is Hobbs time, the Y axis is density altitu

Not to get too far over my skis here, but when I did the comprehensive summary of Q accident statistics (http://n8wq.scheevel.com/documents/Quickie Type Aircraft Accident Analysis.pdf ), I found that
