Paul and Group, Bad luck today with my Q200/Cosmic Fish.  Ground
loop



during a high speed taxi test damaged the canard and sheared one of

the mains completely off.  Mild prop damage, but engine still idling



when the plane came to rest.  After nine years, I've had enough of

this airframe.  The engine, however, has been a wonderful, mostly

enjoyable, education.  I'd like to offer it for sale, here, if
anyone



is interested.



All aluminum single rotor Mazda 13B.  Firewall forward installation.



All rotating components dynamically balanced at Mazdatrix--runs very



smooth Plugs up orientation. Compact and very effective muffler.

P-ported with Ellison EFS-3 throttle body injector. Ross 3.17 psru

modified with thrust bearings. (Planetary set might require

inspection/replacement due to prop strike--not terribly difficult or



expensive) Modified water pump, no thermostat, improved flow.

Excellent water and oil cooling systems. Solid state dual ignition

system, etc... Weighs around 200 lbs, firewall forward, depending on



choice of propeller. Estimated around 140 hp at 8200 rpm. Turns a 95



in pitch, 62 inch long prop at 6200 rpm static, at 4500 msl. Can

supply video of running engine.



I'm in it about $10,000.  Looking for a reasonable offer.



Lewis Bjork.





Really bad luck Lewis.

Sorry to hear that.



You did such a wonderful job of installation.

Is the canard broken or the main landing gear just sheared?

In other words is it repairable?



Now is not a good time to sell. If we get the right person in office
about a

year from now and a little bit more would be a much better time as
the

economy will start to improve with a vengeance if we are lucky I am
right.



I would wait a few months until after the election to make a
decision.



If somebody buys it my advice is to add a dry sump pump and do away
with the

side oil pan.

That would give you room for a small turbo. Then you are looking at
2 to 3

hundred HP :-)

Hi Lewis,

I have a friend who has just completed a Quickie single place like

yours, he is looking for an engine, yours would be ideal. I will put
in an

offer for $5,000 on his behalf.

Cheers Chris Hoskins in NZ



Thanks for the offer.  Make it $7500. I’ll crate it, and include the
cowl.  You pay for shipping.

Lewis. Bjork.

That it is a really good deal.  That cowl was a lot of labor.

Paul Lamar


Hi Lewis, My friend says OK to $7500 and could you please include
the engine mounts also. We will need to decide how to pay, it's a lot
of cash to deal with. Cheers, Chris Hoskins.



I'd say to use bitcoin but if you're not already using it it takes
some effort to get setup. But the nice thing is, it's peer to peer
money so nobody can take any off the top.

How does one convert that to dollars?

Paul Lamar

Coinbase or Bitstamp if you don't mind registering your info, bank accounts can be registered if you want to do that and it is "instant" withdraw (2 or 3 days). The third option is to get a debit card. Xapo or Shift will provide a debit card if you want to use your bitcoin for daily purchases like a traditional bank account.
