I want to put a 13B in my Q2. Can you help me get started on

information

gathering? Thank you for your time. Treat Rayner

Sure! Just read the web site below on the left and feel free to

ask any

questions.

The Q200 could possibly use a 13B, but the Q2 with a VW motor had

so

little wing area that it glides like a manhole cover.  This is

not

theoretical, but
from experience.  A friend here has the remains of his, barely

made a safe

landing after engine failure on his Revmaster "VW" (hardly any VW

parts in

it).  Fortunately he had practiced engine-outs extensively on my

recommendation,

and was just able to get it down with minimal injury him and

passenger.  Plane

is seriously damaged, probably will not be rebuilt.

The Q2 has too little wing area to be safe with this heavy a

motor. Minimum

speed will be very high and induced drag is extremely high due to

very short

wings.  The Q200 was a redesign intended to take an O-200, but

the

13B is going to realistically come in quite a bit heavier than an

O-200, so

even the Q200 will be pretty much a single seater.

Sorry to be negative, but you are better off being realistic about

engine

selection.
