You can never have too much power. My first Quickie had the 18Hp engine which had the new heads which brought it up to 20Hp. Climb is terrible but it will scoot along at 120MPH all day. Reduce the

That seems kind of odd. I've never met an active pilot that thought his plane had too much power. The 18 hp Quickie is pretty lame at high temps or altittudes. You will add about 30 pounds with the

Ballistic parachutes have become more and more popular in recent years. I understand they aren't able to be fitted to Q's at the moment, but maybe that will change. Does anyone thing they would be a

How cool is this, I found this actuator that has 8' movement with limit sw each end and can open and close the canopy, It weight's about 2#. The 8" is more than enough since the cylinders I have in
