addendum sheets viii thru xii. With Package 2, the builder should have Chapters 15-20 and Appendix Sheet 6. Each non-engine option has an installation sheet that comes with it. Please drop Debbie, at QAC, a note if you don’t have everything. QAC strongly recommends that all plans changes and builder tips be inserted into the builder’s plans immediately upon receipt, so as to avoid errors. Builder tips are numbered as QBT and the Plans Change Notices are numbered as A — QPC , with the highest number being the most recent tip or change notice.
Q-200 KIT PRICES The Q-200 Kit is now available. Package 1A contains the material to construct the fuselage, pre-mounted canopy and raw materials. Package lB consists of wheels, tires, brakes, welded components. machined parts and other prefabricated parts to fabricate essentially the remainder of the airframe. Package 2 is the Continental 0-200 engine installation package. The prices are as follows: $3895.00 | | PackagelA | 3055.00 | | Package lB | 2900.00 | | Package 2 | | | | A builder electing to purchase the complete Q-200 kit all at one time will save $400.00 with a $9450.00 combined price.
0-200 RETRO PACKAGE This packagec includes the components required to convert from a Q2 Package 2 to a Q-200 Package 2. It consists of: Continental mounting hardware, spinner kit, carh heat transfer valve, 5” propellor extension, prop washer, cowling, oil separator (a must), stainless steel carb heat muff, patented AR exhaust system, fiberglass inlet air and carburetor adapter pieces, elevator and aileron counterbalance arms, engine mounts, fuel pump, sheet metal baffling kit, liquid firewall, and appropriate hardware. QAC is continuing our credit policy for returned Q2 components. See NL #20 or contact QAC for details.
0-200 - ENGINE COMPATIBILITY The Q-200 Retro Package or Package 2 can be used with no changes for installing Continental 0-200s or C-90s. Continental C-85’s with flange type crankshafts require different mounting hardware. C-85’s with taper type crankshafts also require a different prop extension. QAC has made provisions for each of these.
0-200 ENGINE INSTALLATION PLANS AVAILABLE: Plans have been sent to those who have ordered the Q-200 or “Retro Packages’ Several builders have asked if the plans may be obtained prior to ordering. This is a good idea as there are some differences in the firewall cutout, magneto box, and header tank area that can be accomplished while waiting for the package. The price is $40.00 and is deductable from the purchase price of the”retro” or Q-200 package 2. |
| Q2/Q-200 BUILDER TIPS
1. | | Torque specs for the azusa wheel have been established at 5-8 ft. lbs. | 2. | | Elevators, LS-1 Canard. When glassing elevators, if a good flat surface is available, use small dabs of 5 mm. about the size of pin-head every 6- 8” (cores weighted down of course) to hold bare foam in position and true for prep. and first lay-up. (Let trim off foam lap off table.) Cure 24 hours and flip. Repair small dings in foam and repeat operation.This should provide a straight trailing edge. You | | | |
| may want to use a glass-to-glass closeout at T. E. (needs 3/8" glass-to-glass minimum) rather than the method shown on new plans. You would need to modify your elevator hot-wire templates as follows:
Cut this portion out to allow glass-to- glass lay-up and peel ply during prep. Trailing edge thickness must be maintained on this airfoil (about 1/4" INB’D). and 5/32” OUTB’D). Fill void after lay-ups with dry micro. |
|
3. | | Gascolator. When using Gascolator, a shield with positive cool air ducting is necessary - also, one diameter line size up fuel line needed from header tank to carburetor and preferably, fire shielded from firewall to carb. | | | |
| CAUTION: | WE HAVE NOT TRIED THIS SYSTEM. WE ARE USING THE LIGHTER WEIGHT STOCK SYSTEM WE SELL WITH NO TROUBLE. HOWEVER. SOME OF YOU HAVE CHANGED TO THE GASCOLATOR AND WE KNOW OF AT LEAST 2 WHO HAVE HAD FORCED LANDINGS DUE TO POSSIBLE VAPOR LOCK. |
