Thanks Bruce. I am going to try to go this year if all the stars align. I will definitely get it judged if I make it there. Thanks for your support. Cheers, Jay

Hi Richard, That is a hollow strake. I copied it after shapes I had seen on corporate jets. I figured good enough for them, good enough for me. That plate comes off to slide my elevator inboard

Lot of good design and methods comes from the racing world. I look forward to what Jerry offers. I am grateful for your efforts and on another Blog dealing with aviation I suggest recording the build

There is a system that our UK LAA run for Mods which provided it is justified and to the rules can get approved. Most of those are structural / engine mods you guys have already tried and

Jay you’ve gotta get that bird judged at Oshkosh! You could put Quickies back on the map! Bruce

Jay, That is a great picture. I notice you have closing plates at the end of your elevators, is your fuel tank behind that area or is there a void behind ? Br Rich

Great forethought. Hope to see you at the Fling.

One other thought. I know that the folks in the UK are pretty limited as to what mods they can legally make to the original plans/kit. May be the same in ZA. Make sure that you do not make your plane

Stephen, Just as a heads up. Many on this group recommend AGAINST most mods. I actually agree with that, since all of mine were primarily for my own preferences, added weight and added a LOT of extra

Thanks Jerry. High compliment, coming from you! FYI. There is more! Look under the heading “Build Logs, Chapters” on the following page: http://n8wq.scheevel.com/BuilderDocuments.htm I

Hi Vern, Yes, I preserved almost the entire area of the original plexiglass canopy, by sliding it “around the sphere” of the original glass shape. The following two videos are time lapse

Excellent thought-out method, Jay. In a roll over you'd be without worry. I also see not much "sky" is blanked out for the needs of visual separation. I like your split design a lot. 👍 That

Hey I just got back from a wedding and also a trip to Branson and want to tell Jim Pattilo that he did a great job on the Quickie Zoom presentation. I have heard folks say that the Quickie is not a

Great story, Vern. The fuel dump idea had occurred to me when I was building (and probably several others on this list), but I could not find a way to make it happen expeditiously, especially from

Hi Stephen, The armrest is part of the fuselage structure and stiffens the fuselage where the canopy opening is. The opening makes that portion of the fuselage less rigid, so the stiffening

7 hrs at least depending on traffic and not nearly as interesting. That part of the Missouri is nice tho.. I've wondered at times if the ADSB out signal is turned off over the States on these types

Ala.. Spitfire or perhaps P-51? The addition of a carbon hoop "roll bar" already was in my build plan. I would like to see your split canopy method chosen. If in case of an unexpected Frankenbird

Hi Guys I’m busy restoring after standing for 17 years. I’m busy with the Belly board control handle mechanism which seized and needs replacing. The handle is situated inside the left armrest
