Re: New design?
Wasn't the Dragonfly the next evolution after the Q?
It does have a larger cockpit. It could probably benefit from the LS1 canard or something better. Butch Hernandez had a nice Tri-Dragonfly with a Continental 0200. It is probably in line for a hp increase along with a strenghtening of the flying surfaces. Justin Mace has an O200 on his Dragonfly. Maybe 150 hp or more. I love my TriQ200 but a Dragonfly might be stretched and pumped easier. Just a suggestion. I love to stir it up!

hope that if someone "updates" the Q they actually make some improvements.

Time will tell. I know my mods to accommodate my girth have added a bit of
drag. But that's what the ~30 snarling Hp is there for <G>

think the QAC didn't do a very good job in the conversion.
