Q200 kit.

Hey RW,
I assume you referring to this ebay ad:

tinyurl.com/2b36j79

I agree that the anhedral on the CF spars looks a bit low. So perhaps the original builder did intend to build a Tri-Q. That being said, there are ways to build the LS1 canard for the Tri-Q without using the spars. In fact, using the spars on a Tri-Q is overkill since the canard no longer has to absorb the landing loads.

There isn't a good source for the CF spars anymore, but I'm thinking you could separate the ones in the auction and put them back together according to the plans for the taildragger. The spars normally come in two pieces that are joined by the builder using a specific layup schedule of UNI glass.

Please let me know if that helps, or if you require additional information.

Cheers,

Hey Bob,
You can definitely use the fuselage for the taildragger, there is no difference in fuselage for the Q-200, Q2, or Tri-Q.

I'm not guaranteeing that you can split the spar, I haven't seen it in person, and I don't know you from Adam. But I think it could be done, at least it makes sense that it could be done. IMHO.

Who knows, you might even find that the spar is rigged properly when you get it. Then again, you're always trusting the work of the previous builder. Hope that makes sense.

I think the kit would be a bargain at whatever you can negotiate. Then again, I am the editor of the Quickie Builders Association! LOL!

Hope that helps. Please let me know.

Thanks,
