Q3 at Gathering; was Re: KR> updated KR Gathing photos on my website

[Ed Janssen]

Jeff and Dave,

The Q3 belongs to a flying buddy of mine.  His name is Dave Davis from
Edinburg, Illinois, and hangers it at the Taylorville Municipal Airport,
Taylorville, IL.  He acquired the Q3 when it was about 1/2 done.  He's had a
Taylor Monoplane and a couple different KR-2s in the past, which is why he
shows up at the Gatherings when he can.  Engine is a VW - Revmaster, I
think.  As you've noted, he's a meticulous builder.

I'll pass on the nice comments to him.  He'll enjoy them.

Q3 at Gathering; was Re: KR> updated KR Gathing photos on my website

[jeffyor...@qx.net]

Now that several had mentioned it, I do remember him telling me it was a tri
gear Q2. I remember as the first Tri Q (as they are often called I first
seen at Sun N Fun in 1994. I fell in love with the design as I had a Canard
plane ( Varieze ) at the time. The thought of a canard with electric start
and standard gear was very appealing to me.

By the way, the one I seen at Sun N Fun was having it's tail glassed back
on. While taxing on at Sun N Fun, an old Radial Bi Plane was taxing behind
him. The Bi plane did not see the little Tri Q and taxed right up and cut
his tail off. I was parked along the side of the taxi way when it happened.
I was yelling at the Bi plane driver to stop. I guess he did not understand
what I was trying to say.  Fiberglass went flying everywhere.

The guy with the Tri Q was from Iowa. One of the demo tents volunteered
their time and effort and was able to put on a very good demonstration of
their product while fixing the Tri Q. The guy flew it home at the end of the
week.

I looked at Tri Q 's and dragonflies for quite some time but, the Tri Q had
been out of circulation for some time due to a legal battle that put them
out of business, and the Dragon was changing hands to often. I felt the
support was not there or at least not like the support from the KR
community.

Ok, here's one stab though, I have never flown in anybody else's KR however.
But, I have only been to one gathering and a couple of Sun N Fun's ( not the
place to get a ride) I guess I want a ride because I have an itch to change
my 2180 to a Corvair. But then again, I need to stop changing things and
just fly.
