Jim,   Yep, there are a lot of very nice Q's out there.  One of the nicest I've ever seen is Dave Wall's Q2 here at Abbotsford.  Check out the airbrushed paint job and leppard skin

4QC.................Fork you Charlie! I love it. You ARE a man of many talents. Thank you again for your long contibution to our planes. JP

I've never flown an Onan powered Q1, mine started life with a 503. I doubt an Onan Q1 would even lift my big behind off the ground.... Between the 503 and VW, the VW was far and away my favorite.

Hi Lonnie, Yes, 1835cc, four-cylinder VW in a Q1. There have been at least four of us that have flown with this engine (though different displacements). Two back east long ago and Tom Solan (up in

As I recall the cause was the use of the wrong material. The t-tail was fastened to the fuselage with a layup of carbon fiber which had no peel strength. It peeled which allowed the t-tail to tip

Apparently what they say about great minds thinking alike is true.... Jon :-)

Tom Jewett died during testing of "Free Enterprise" an airplane that was designed by QAC to fly arround the world unrefueled. After Tom's death Gene Sheehan seemed to lack the bedside manner needed

Hi Lonnie, I'll respond cause Jim takes a really long time to type a message using that one finger, hunt and peck approach.... ;-) Here is a pretty good link to the

To answer Patillo's post, my engineless Quickie has been residing in my hangar for many years now. It is on the FAA register as N44QC (at the time I was flying King Airs and was irregularly ticked

Mr. Masal, Thank you, what performance had you experienced with the Onan 18 or 22 hp? And did the rain also cause the Anus Stretch issue? Do you feel the VG's were beneficial?

Jon, Thanks for the great info. It sounds like from the initial letter I responded to is you still liked the Onan better than your 1835 VW. We built propellers for the Global engine and

I wrote about flight testing the Global 1/2 VW in a Q-Talk of the time, but basicaly I was testing it for the builder. I got a good 120-125 mph out of it (expected more) and a more comfy climb

Thanks to Jon and the other responses to my questions. Jon did you install the 1835 VW in the Q1? I was considering the 45 hp 1/2 VW for higher top speeds but if the performance was adequate with

Patillo, I just picked up a Q1 with the Onan engine. The plane hasn't flown for about 10 years so I plan to restore it to flying condition and possibly install a 1/2 VW 45 hp by Casler that

Masal, I know you had a Q1 but never knew the details regarding it or ever saw any pictures. How many hours did you fly it? What happened to the plane? After Tom Jewett died I lost interest in
