This is why a visit to McMinnville is so rewarding. The docents that attend this museum are , quite often , first hand experts in the subjects they explain and reveal to those visitors who show interest in the exhibits.(My visit ,including an internal inspection of the Spruce Goose , certainly rewarded the effort it took to visit the Museum.). Cheers from Downunder👍🇦🇺🇺🇸
If you recall Jimmy, a very early airplane had the elevators up front. It was the Wright Flyer.
Alberto Santos Dumont flew a canard known as '14 bis'.
My favorite example is the Rutan Long-EZ
I built and have flown my Q200 Quickie for 23 years now. It has over 2000 hours on it. Has been flown in 28 states. It has a Continental 0200 pumped up with 9:1.1 Lycon pistons, dual electronic Lightspeed Ignitions, Autopilot, oxygen equipped, ceiling 19,500’. Top speed 210 mph. Will be showing and flying it tomorrow at the Livermore, Ca. Air Show tomorrow. Burt Rutan did not design the Q2Quickie. Tom Jewett, Gary Lagare and Gene Sheehan did, in Mojave, Ca.
Jimmy, at air shows, people will walk past a line of RV’s, Glassair and Lanceair’s to get a look at a 44 year old plane that looks like it’s right outa StarWars. . Still very futuristic looking. What a sweet airplane. Jim Patillo N46JP -Q200
Really cool. My brother was a USAF mechanic on the SR-71 and was stationed in Okinawa. He's 10 years older than me. I was stationed in Okinawa in 2008 (my 18th year in the Air Force) almost 26 years after him. I was the commander of the largest ground radar site in Japan and going into my building the cement pavement in front of the door said Habu, which is what they called the SR-71 in Okinawa (its a local snake). So although the SR-71 was no longer there, several decades later I was in the same building the Blackbird/Habu pilots flew out of.
Wheels on the wing, no horizontal, thermos gas cap, step that says no step, it’s fine. I vote two tries to start.
Just realised - that spout was maybe for long-term parking? Flip it down and evaporation/water ingress will be reduced. But Jimmy needs to leave it open to atmosphere when he's flying.
Quickie Q2! I love those things. Tandem wings are badass and it’s just a scale up from a Rutan design. What could be cooler! I am constantly envious of you Jimmy (in the best way), keep up the great work!
You are definitely one of the most determined people on planet earth and I love your optimism! Please don't use starter fluid - it can damage a piston or rod if it pre-ignites, squirt some 2-stroke gas/oil mix instead.
No elevator, darn that means you have to take the stairs.
😂😂
The Quickie Q 2 is a great and efficient little airplane. Nice to fly. Do not stall on landing you’ll not enjoy the bounce. Fly it on to the runway. Keep active on the rudders and make sure you have plenty of landing distance as they do tend to go for a bit. Taxi is easy due to the good forward visibility.
I fly a Glasair and it also requires a small amount of power all the way to the ground, a subtle flair just before the ground.
Absolutely loving this series of videos at the museum, top stuff!
Every video you've done at this museum has been top notch, classic Jimmy's World! This plane has such a funky look, it reminds me of an old Ed Roth glass bubble top custom he'd build, and I love it!
I had a fellow employee that home built one of these back in the early 90s my interest in flying got me a ride from Chino to San Diego for lunch. What a flight to enjoy the view was exceptional. On the return flight the cross winds were strong and on approach we were at 90deg to the runway with a quick flip of the rudder we were down… I will never in my life forget that flight. I’m 74 now and having this to remember is awesome.
About 15 years ago a friend almost lost a prop on a J3 that had a wooden prop. This plane sat in a barn in Ohio for nearly 30 years, he did the standard preflight, yanked pulled and looked as you should. When he started it and let it run for about 10 minutes, he said he heard a really odd sound and noticed a increasing vibration. After further inspection he found that the prop was loose and that the prop had shrunk over time causing it to be loose. I love the look of wooden props but certain care should always be taken, such as positioning it horizontal when storing and such. I wonder if thats what happened to that prop.
Torque a wooden prop every week and make sure the crush plates are designed for a wood prop.
@@buckmurdock2500 yeah, should be every 50 hours.
Hey Jimmy who should I contact to make an offer on the “peculiar plane”? I will send contact info if needed
That would be a cool buy, canards are really neat. One use to fly around the St. Augustine airport all the time when I was a kid. Think it had a VW engine in it if I remember correctly.
I wooden use a wooden prop .
This is a Q2 with a Hali modified VWEngine, probably under powered with more than one aboard. I had a Dragonfly mark I which is very similar. The reflexors were a modification that allowed you to reflex the ailerons to, usually up, to help trim the load off the elevators on the forward canard. They usually fly very nice, but BE CARFUL when landing. If you flare to land, you will bounce and bounce BIG! You just fly it on to the runway, easy on e learned, but exciting until you do. Also, you will find it a foot full on the runway until slowed down. Not for the sloppy pilot. I loved my Dragonfly, but many were scrapped or damaged in the early days. Be careful. Also, why was it donated to a museum? Perhaps scared the pilot too much? If the alignment of the canard and wing is out a few degrees, it will be impossible to fly safely.
yep i bounced mine a couple times learning to fly it.
These planes are awesome. Thanks for the tour of the SR-71. I want to tell everyone what I learned about the bypass producing all the thrust at mach 2 and above. Duh, that's why it's so bloody fast!
Not only its speed, but its range too! Its how it was able to fly for 90 minutes at full beans before needing to either land or find an aerial tanker, iirc
Reflexor Modification..
"Description: The aileron reflexor changes the faired setting of the ailerons in flight to a setting below and above the neutral setting (0°) of the ailerons. It does so by changing the length of the stroke of the vertical push-pull aileron tubes located on the FS94 bulkhead of the Q2 and Q-200 kits. The basic aileron torque tube bearings are removed and replaced by a bearing that is displaced vertically by a cam. As the cam is rotated the aileron torque tube and vertical push-pull tubes are moved up and down. This will cause deflection of the aileron torque tube over it's entire length, eliminating fatigue of the tube, and the use of universal joints."
"The net effect of being able to change aileron settings in flight enables the pilot to fine tune the aircraft's flight and landing attitude for various weight and cg conditions. Also, for the Q2 with GU Canard, in heavy rain, it's adjustment will help unload the canard and reduce trim changes due to rain effect."
The Q 200 is an amazing aircraft. I owned one and put about 1000 hours on it. They are fast and will not spin. If you end up flying it, you will never go back to a standard wing airplane. They are amazing.
This one doesn't have 100 HP like the Q200
I was always told they are very prone to crashing. And not very stable
@@gsxr600rafii not at all. they will ground loop if yo are not careful due to the wide landing gear
You need to bring that SR71 Guy home, and set him up in the spare bedroom. Just listening for a few minutes, WOW! Wealth of knowledge!
I loved the chat from Arnie, as i once made "parts" for Rolls Royce Aero here In currently sunny England up till I retired 20 years ago. In my youth, I even machined "prototype" pieces for our Concorde.. But talk of Mach 3 leaves me wondering the real reason our Concorde was banned from flying? That topped out at Mach 2.4 yeh baby. Not many passenger jets flew as fast eh, and still don't, anyway, enjoyed your crazy style of presentation and to be honest I just love planes of all types. Thanks, Jimmy lad, till the next video it is. - Ian - UK.
I missed that Jimmy even found the key before he just stuck it into the ignition. The discovery of the evil reversed polarity of the plane was a HUGE winner before energizing the system! The engine ran like charm. A new propeller, dried out seats, new fuel lines and you are ready to hit the skies. And remember - Keep the blue side up!
Fiberglass planes don't really have a ground so whats reversed?
@@FlyMeAirplane The cables are reversed. The color code is reversed. It is just plain evil stuff going on.
Positive ground systems do not play well with modern electronics. I myself would switch the plane over to a negative ground system, easy enough to do. Given that this is an experimental it's just about documenting it in the logs.
So how much for the quickie?
Plane built by mad scientist for sale😂
Please more of Arnie and the Blackbird! That was so, I don't know, just "wow".
That was a riviting Blackbird walk and talk! Thanks
Incredible thank Jimmy great video
my grandfathers pride was his quickie - his first solo flight... on approach for landing he pancaked on runway. he lived with the damage being no more quickie, a missing tip of his tongue, and a broken back. really sad for him to have lost it all. proud of him for building it, a real accomplishment.
Thank you Jimmy. That Pratt and Witney guy was very interesting. Most enjoyable vid
Burt Rutan the designer of the Quickie Q2 and is an aeronautical genius! The Rutan Quickie Q1 actually is more impressive it had a max speed of 126 mph with an 18 HP engine. The front canard wing does have the landing gear tucked up in the wing tips to reduce drag by not having separate fixed landing gear and increase speed. The canard front wing also has a higher angle of attack so it will stall before the rear main wing thus preventing the aircraft from stalling. Burt Rutan has dozens of aircraft designs to his credit including the Voyager which flew around the world unrefueled in 1986. He founded Scaled Composites in which he designed even more aircraft and spacecraft.
The Q2 was based on Rutan's Quickie but Rutan was not involved with it.
Jimmy, I love your videos. You have never made one I didn’t like. You are a very respectable person that truly loves and respects the laws of Air and Aircraft’s. I hope to see many many more videos from you. Best of luck!!
In the absence of a drain plug please fly inverted !
Thank you Jimmy, a very educational video. Kudos to your subscribers for the additional information provided. And finally how wonderful it is to see your son so involved and enthusiastic while hanging with dad, good stuff!
All the informations in your videos, like this one, are simply interesting and amazing. Many thanks for the interview on the Sr71 airplane. My hat off! Cheers from Italy
Arnie is such an interesting guy, very knowledgeable. Id love to listen to him talk about jet engines
I just rode my motorcycle through Plant City after visiting my father in Vero Beach a few days ago. Was hoping to see Cameron or The Silver Bullet go streaking by... My father lives about 1/4 mile from the Piper manufacturing facility which is neat. Got to see a brand new Piper M600 SLS in a beautiful dark graphite and Royal Blue livery.
We live near one another, 👌.
I had a Quickie single seater. In the rain, or with bugs on the leading edge, the laminar front wing stalls and the elevator/flap can barely keep the nose up. The reflexor was an extra trim to stop the nose dropping. The Q2 has a different front wing section but take your test-pilot wings with you!
Bugs on the leading edge stalls the wing OMG
That's flying on the edge!
@@HelplessMammal
G'day,
Welcome to the
Joys of
Super Laminar Flow
Composite
Aerofoils...
They
GOTTA
Be really Really REALLY
Smooth.
In the 1980s a rash of
Slippery Canards began crashing in
Light Rain.
Surface Tension
Glued
Droplets to the
Gel-Coat, giving a
Stippled Surface.
Drag went up 30%, Lift went down 35%, and Stall Speed went up 35%, for the effected Section.
Edinburgh University figured out a
Rain-Safe Modification...
But it involved applying
Coarse Sandpaper to the front 50% of the Aerofoil, and leaving deep Cross-Hatch patterned Scratches running diagonally both ways as well as straight back....
Then,
In Rain,
The Water wet the bottom of the
Scratches and the
Surface Tension made the
Water
Sheet smoothly and thus
Preserve the
Smoothness of the
Surface presenting to the
Air.
However,
The scratchy hatchy
Rainsafe Wings though,
Lost
ALL the benefits of the
Super-Laminar Flow
Section..., anytime it was
Not
Raining....
And, of course,
Bug Guts ruins the
Smoothness,
Wet or dry.
So,
While Canards are
Still a thing,
Canards with
Super-Laminar Flow
Forward Aerofoils
Can
Sometimes require
Power-diving at the Runway to
Achieve the required
Airspeed to keep a
Wet/dirty
Canard from
Stalling & dropping the
Nose
Uncontrollably -
Especially if the Stick is
Pulled back to try
Recovering from the
Dive.
And most
People stopped trying to
Fly them.
Maybe that's why it's in the
Museum ?
Just(ifiably ?) sayin'.
Have a good one...
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
@@HelplessMammalit's a laminar flow airfoil, very efficient but unforgiving of disturbance on the wing. Bugs rain etc
@@danblumelsounds dangerous as
I love your show! I think you need a t-shirt that says “Have some fear Jimmy’s here!”
I love every green,
We had a couple of rc events behind the musium at the rc park.
Back in the day,
We actually got to se them moving the water parks 747 across the highway before the water park was build,
On the Blackbird: "And at moment a twelve-year-old was reaching for the mic button." I love that story. I don't know how many times I've heard it, but every time it pops up in my TH-cam feed, I listen to it. It was very sad to hear of Major Brian Schul's passing on May 20th, 2023. Great video Jimmy! Keep them coming. Thanks!
Have been waiting for this video! I love the way that thing looks! I want!
these planes fly amazingly well
Even as a R/C model--virtually stall proof. Just get the CG correct!
I've wanted a Q2 since that issue of PopSci came out! In fact, I STILL have that issue because I LOVE the Quickie Q2!
The aileron reflexor, in effect, creates aerodynamic flaperond that adjust the trailing edge of both ailerons either up or down.
Good morning from Minnesota! Fun episode!
Hi Jimmy. I immediately recognized this as the Quickie. It was offered as a kit. A couple I bought an old car from back in the 80s was building one. I have no idea if it was ever completed or not. But yeah, it's definitely a weird one.
I worked with a young man years ago that was on the maintenance team for the SR71. Great guy!
Hey Jimmy, I believe the "Reflexor" is that it had a Reflex Airfoil that is often seen on "tailless aircraft"
A reflex airfoil is one where the camber line curves back up towards the teailing edge. This allows the moment about the aerodynamic center to be made zero. When you don't have a traditional elevator to counteract the moment with opposing force, you need to balance that lift out. The main wing (middle) definitely has the reflex airfoil which allows the Aileron pitch trim)
I think the Wright Brothers invented the first Reflexive wings when they developed wing warping instead of using an elevator for coordinated turns.
@@crimestoppers1877
The aileron reflexor (often shortened to just reflexor) is so called because its original use was to reflex the ailerons trailing edge up. It came about because the GU canard exhibited a considerable loss of lift if the surface became contaminated with bugs and/or rain so a solution was sought to be able to combat the effect of having to hold significant back stick. The ailerons on the rear wing were provided with a secondary trim function which allowed them, in addition to their normal function of moving in opposite direction as ailerons, to move up or down together like flaperons. With care, this can be used on the ground to produce a tail down pitch authority which can be a significant help, both with tail wheel steering on the tail dragger, usually only after landing by increasing down force and tyre adhesion, or as a means to help lift the nose wheel on take off with the Tri Q, the Tri prefix being short for Tricycle undercarriage.
Unlike the aileron reflexor, The T-tail is not rigged through the ailerons so has no other shared function. It works directly as a mini all flying tail plane fin mounted in the conventional sense. It becomes a third entirely separate flying surface to the canard and main wing.
Both the aileron reflexor and the Le Gare T-Tail were separate developments to provide additional pitch control to overcome the loss of canard lift described. Both the mechanical type aileron reflexor and T-Tail are controlled independently of the canard mounted elevator control circuit, which is driven by the stick. They each therefore require a separate lever.
If I had the choice the Quickie would be going home with me. Jimmie you really should consider buying it.
I love how the oil smelled so bad that Silas had to come back for a second whiff at @23:03. 🤣
Loved the SR-71 tour and specs info!
Thanks for taking the time to show/run the Q2 Jimmy.😊
Does anyone know what that Q2 ended up selling for ??
TBH, there are dozens of sr71 videos available, not so many in the weird plane, glad you spent most of the time with it.
I love visiting Evergreen. I geek out every time I go even if nothing has changed display wise. The Air Force Museum in Dayton would be a fun experience too.
A wet dry vacuum will take care of the water problem. 😊
Thanks for the SR71 tour, Arnie knows his stuff, he is a real assett to the museum and a welth of knowledge.
I'd pay their JP-7 bill to start the SR for a minute just to see one fire up and roar... Probably the best money to noise converter ever made because it's a mach 3+ money to noise converter. :)
Very Cool to see all these interesting museum planes !!!
what a nice guy Arnie! thank you! have a nice day sir !
The interview on the 71 was my fav, the designer/engineer says, they are still top secret tech that is used today, your response, so, what are they? HAHA, CLASIC.
Great show the 71 interlude was so cool truly he was made of The Right Stuff!
LOL That's the cutest plane ever i would have bought instantly if i could.
You should 100% come to Denmark and hand it over to me ..
Love your content.. keep up the good work .. we need way more people like you on this planet.
Jimmy thank you for our history lesson today from the man who worked on the fastest plane ever. Please in the future get lost in looking for keys for log books to find a person that helped us stay free. Please when you see him again tell him thank you for what you have done for God and country. I can't imagine what our world would like out great people like him.
As a Brit I can say I 100% agree with you.
GOOD MORNING JIMMY!!!
This plane is a must video for us to see you fly. Please make that happen for us!!!
Thanks Jimmy ! You are the Man 👍
I love these crazy aircraft
Jimmy are you pre oiling these engines that you start after sitting for year? Pre oiling is probably the best preventive measure you can take. Highly recommend do this step. Enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.
Also, to prevent early failure of the strobe Power Supplies, they should be over about an hours time starting from 3 volts to 12 V gradually increase voltage without strobes connected to "reform" the electrolytic capacitors inside. This is true if it hasn't been operated for over a year for sure, 6 months even better. To do this process one needs an adjustable voltage output power supply.
Also spray WD-40 in a circle around the top of every piston, then after 12-24 hours do the same with atomized light oil. There will almost certainly be light rust in the cylinders, and an oil change after 10 minutes running is the cheapest thing you can do for that engine.
Fortunately that Revmaster/VW is probably a loose clearance piston. Not too likely to have rings rusted to cylinders, but definitely needs pre-oiled, just like the lubrication system.
Soaking sparkplugs in a strong vinegar solution work well at cleaning the carbon from them.
Loving the walk through of SR71 engine components and functions, Jimmy Sky King. Such a bad azz futuristic design from Kelly and mind blowing that it was from 1960's.
Experimental needs loads of upgrades and drains. KARATE CHOP 🤚!!!
I live near Evergreen.
I've been looking at that airplane for years, and I've asked them several times if it ever came up for sale if they'd let me know. And I was supposed to be first one in line for it if it ever came available. You broke my heart, Jimmy. I've been watching your channel since the very beginning. Never thought you'd steal my airplane......
Sooooo bummed.
Edit.... Oh k, my bad I didn't watch Till The End. Thank you for not buying it, Jimmy.
Did you get the plane yet
Thanks for the content, Jimmy.
Beautiful Q2 - Burt Rutan's wonderful design!!! BUY IT!!!!! :-)))))
I think I remember seeing another TH-cam video with a plane that looked just like this one
Respect from South Africa 🇿🇦, and it's a good day when you drop a video ❤
Love your hat tip to Mike Patey! Keep up the good work teaching Silas!
A rutan aircraft, extremely hard to stall. I think John Denver rode one of these into the water when he took off without enough fuel. Plus the tank selector was moved to behind the shoulder making it about impossible to switch tanks...
No that was a Long EZ. Different airplane......
Every single time you surprise me! Love your work Jimmy keep them coming
" Get to the chopper ", lol. Great videos Jimmy thanks for sharing your world.
Seeing you start to realize that the elevator is in front, after creating words for what you didnt understand, reminds me of teenagers these days.
Bending the Dictuonary over to suit their lack of knowledge.
Or a dog grasping what it is they see in a mirror.
Priceless.
The first time I'll swear the engine was going Clear Prop Clear Prop Clear Prop as it turned over.
I don't know jack about planes but find it entertaining the way you jimmy things to get a plane to fire up.
I think that this aircraft ,or one like it ,was displayed at the Brisbane World Exposition in 1988. I remember that the creator was killed prior to the Exposition.
It was a static display piece and unfortunately was not flown. I enjoy watching you going over the Evergreen Museum as we have visited the place on two occasions. Cheers from Downunder. 👍🇦🇺🇺🇸
This plane is/was owned by C. Greg Kelsay (and still shows up this way on the registration). Greg was a good friend of mine and we both got mechanical engineering degrees -- he was the top of his class (I was not!). I visited him in 1982/3 while he was building the plane in his garage. I was there when the engine was delivered. He won an award at Oshkosh soon after it was finished for the quality of build and donated to the museum in the early 2000's. I flew with him when he came to visit my family twice when he flew from Boise to Omaha. Unfortunately, Greg is no longer with us. He was a great (and brilliant) guy.
Oh, if you fly it, be really carefull with that brake lever on the left side ... having the mechanical brakes at the end of the wings makes control a little tricky on landing (watch for ground loops).
@@KevinPauba Thanks for the info Kevin, your description of its flying characteristics would make it a real test pilot experience .( I recall seeing the wing tip undercarriages and always thought that - the wider the track the less likely the ground loop). Your description of the braking system describes the fright that an unwary first flighter would experience. Cheers to you from Sunny Queensland.👍🇦🇺🇺🇸
Cool looking plane, a canards type wing in the front... huuum...interesting.
Love the sippy cup gas cap. Priceless!!!!
LIke the Glassair the best. Beautiful airplane
INSTRUMENTS: Play close attention to the Mach Warning meter on the upper right hand panel, and also the G meter. And, while you're at it, be careful not to pull the ejection seat lever located just below your knees. Have fun.........
I've wanted a Q2 - Q200 since I was a kid!
What a fascinating man. I hope someone is capturing all his stories for the future.
Jimmy, you should've gotten Silas to wear a fake mustache to go with you there, especially during the interview with the SR-71 guy. To me, that was a missed opportunity, lol
I live in Oregon, and I've been to Evergreen many times. I love seeing the airplanes i've seen in person so many times on your channel. Love your channel Jimmy.
Jimmie, that was so much fun! Thanks for Sharing!
Amazing jet engine on the sr71.' That was really cool to see !🆒😎👍!
25:30...It puts a dehumidifier in the cabin overnight and changes the oil before getting a battery hooked up or it gets the hose again.
Yes, it will fly. It is not an F104 Starfighter with wing mounts removed, repaired to be on display only. Such precautions are rare.
'Skunk Works' by Ben Rich is a great book to read about the development of the U2 and YF-12/SR-71 programs.
Look at your solenoid Jimmy. That will determine which is ground.
It's painful to see a museum dispose of their exhibits in that way.
That creates fast decay.
Jimmy nice to see you get 1 flying. Please show it fly home. Hope the others get a chance at least most of them
The thing that looks exactly like a step boldy says No Step? Lol
The quickie is a cool plane. 1 of our friends used to fly 1 with us to shows
Before you buy your next junker you need to invest in a wet/dry/blower vacuum. They are good for sucking out bird stuff, blowing out what can't be sucked out and as a real plus they can suck up water. Sort of a universal sucking machine.
love this channel very entertaining .
Who else thought he will say „Physics, Math *and Engineering*“ at minute 22? 😃😃😃 Now back to work Jimmy 👍🏼
Jimmy you got to be the best in what you do😅 and we love you for it crack on pastor Jim
You definitely shoulda bought that one, there’s not many flying around still that woulda made some great content
