Ron Whetsten s Q2. Too bad you can’t see this in color. Ron's Q2 is bright yellow with red detail and red crushed velvet interior. If you look close, in the hangar in the background is James Largley's Q2.


Harvey Sorensen completed his Q2 in March 1983 and had his first flight in July 1983, Nice Q2, by the looks of the photo Harvey plans on winning the cash at Oshkosh for best Q2.

The plans for installation of the hydraulic disc brakes are on addendum sheets viii thru xii. With Package 2, the builder should have Chapters 15-20 and Appendix Sheet 6.

AILERON REFLEXER
      The Aileron Refiexer is now approved for the new canard. While the Reflexer was developed to help eliminate rain and bug trim effects on the old GU canard, it has proven to useful with the LS(1) 0417 Mod canard, with the Reflexer you can change the aircraft’s approach deck angle and on roll out, you can flip them full up and really get on the binders for stopping. Remember that this is a very powerful control and you should explore its use cautiously.

NEW CANARD
      Over 100 people responded to the price increase in December bringing the total to over 350 and swamping us again. We are just now catching up on these orders and hope to be completely current in 30 days or less. About 4 builders are flying with the new canard at present. We will be tesing some adjustable “Sparrow strainers” at QAC in the near future. This might allow an electric elevator trim system for both pitch and roll controlled from a thumb switch on the stick!
