The plans called for them to be at the root because that put them in the prop blast, which made them more effective and allowed them to be smaller than if they were outboard.

Sam H,
Was I dreaming, or are your sparrow strainers fairly close to the root end. Mine are in the middle, so what is the thinking behind it ? Does it matter where they are ? Richard Thomson TriQ G-BMFN 368hrs old richard@... |

Yes, mine are close to the fuselage. I don't remember why they are there,
since I installed them about 22 years ago. Anyone else? Sam Hoskins Murphysboro, IL _____ From: Q-LIST@...

Mine are also close to the fuselage. I did it cause thats how the factory plane was, also gives the least adverse yaw, which couldn't be much.

Richard,
I have my sparrow strainers mounted just behind the middle hinge support of the elevator, as indicated on plans. I asked the same question this fall, because I noticed most Q2/200 have the strainers mounted close to the fuselage. I was told that the "close to fuselage position" takes advantage of prop wash.

Thanks Everyone, thats most informative. Mine are also behind the centre
support currently, but they need remaking, so the inboard sounds like place to go. By the way, has anyone got pages 19 - 32 of the Tri Q conversion construction notes ? Recompense to any willing person. Richard Thomson Weston s Mare , UK Tri-Q G-BMFN (Aged 368 hours ) richard@... |
