QUICKIE 200 N46JP FLY'S! FOR THE VERY
FIRST TIME!
To Bob Farnum and Barry Webber, fellow EAA Members who I
owe a great deal for support, ideas and assistance, THANK YOU!
Today my bird took to the air for the first time.
Weather clear, wind calm 4K down the runway, temperature 73 degrees F., dewpoint
close.
Checked fuel pump on, (110 LL fuel on board), 5.5 gallons in
header - 8 gallons in main. No added weight to passenger seat. 60/68 Warnke
Prop.
TAKEOFF!
- Aircraft departed runway 25R @ 0700 PST straight down the
runway, rotated at 75 MPH, 2300 RPM.
- Once off the ground expected and noticed left wing heavy
- Engine instruments nominal, oil pressure 60 lbs.& oil
temp 200 degrees, 2500 RPM. (new engine)
- Trimmed elevator for 120 MPH climbing left turn to
downwind
- Climb to 3500 ft.
- Climb was positive at 800-1000 fpm. Holding right stick
but trimable to neutral.
- Engine instruments, nominal, except for slight oil
temperature increase.
- 3500 ft. level off, increase speed to 130
MPH.
Commence series of flight card
parameters: Yaw 5 degrees right, and 5 degrees left -
Check nominal
Pitch 3 degrees up an 3 degrees down - Check
nominal
Bank 10 degrees right and left, bank 15 degrees right and left - Check
nominal
Note Oil temp at 235 degrees and oil pressure 30
lbs., cylinder head temperature 325 degrees, exhaust gas temperature 1200
degrees, 2600 RPM, speed 150 MPH, aircraft vibration
free!
Advised by chase pilot to slow to 130 MPH for flight card
maneuvers.
Note RPM drop, pulled carb heat to clear ice,
2600 RPM and began climb to 5500 ft.@140 MPH
Commence series of flight card
parameters: Same as above @130-75 MPH - Check
nominal
Deployed speed brake (belly board) at 130 MPH - Check
nominal
Trimmed aircraft for level flight
Checked
airspeed, vertical speed and altimeter - Check nominal
Note: Oil temperature 240 degrees, oil
pressure 40 lbs., CHT 375 degrees, EGT 1100
degrees
Flew straight and level @ 140 MPH for photo shoot and enjoyed
the ride!
Power back to 1400 RPM, reduced speed to 130 MPH, deployed
speed brake, trimmed aircraft to 95 MPH, descended to 3000 ft. and called
tower for entry into top of pattern altitude at 1400 ft.
Note: Oil temperature 220 degrees,
oil pressure 40 lbs., CHT 275 degrees, EGT 1000
degrees
LANDING!
- Left down wind to 25R, cleared to land 25R, wind 7K @ 270
degrees
- Approach to final @ 100 MPH, header tank
full, engine and flight instruments - nominal
- Configure aircraft for three point landing, hold stick
slightly back
- Over the numbers at 10' and 95 MPH, slow to 85
MPH hold stick slightly back and flare
- Runway contact (no squeak)
Power off, reflexor back, stick forward, brake as required,
short straight down the runway roll.
SUMMARY!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wife and
four children who have tolerated this obsession since
1981.
To all of you who have these dreams and those of you who
think you do, today justified every bit of it all the bitching and complaining!
Just keep working and with the help of the Quickie and EAA guys you will finish
sooner than you think and will have an equally non-eventful
flight.
Regards Jim Patillo

P.S. Tomorrow were going on a cruise to celebrate. Can't beat

It's people like you that make my day really tough sometimes. I'm up
until the wee hours of the morning working on the Q (or something else that
needs to get done so I can get back to work on the Q) and then the first half
of the next day I spend fighting off urge to sleep. Now if the rest of you
would just quit finishing your planes I wouldn't have to "keep up with the
Jones's." <G>

JIm...Congratulations!! I know just how you feel. Now you can enjoy how nice this airplane flies. After just 50 or so hours on my Q2, I can honestly say that it's been worth every minute of work; even if I don't fly it for another minute!! Good luck. Dave Dugas

Royer, Michel <RoyerM@...>
Congrat Jim, excellent description and brought memory back.....
I can now say to the group that i use to limit practice in the circuit
to one landing, i mean by this that i use to practice approach but no touch
and just overshoot for the next approach.....I now enjoy doing the
landingssssss
and particularly since the misalignment fix.....but you must keep looking
at the end of the runway...........and can now exit 2500 feet
