Gud deal! When you can Jerry.. I am generating the build manual...same as my previous life in aviation where this was part of my job. Build plans based on the projected mission goal of the

Eugen, I would be careful with vacuum bagging your parts. You're making quite a big change from the original building methods. The foam is not meant for full vacuum. And possibly it will absorb more

Hi Eugen, Don’t get too quantitative on your numbers. You want to make sure you have enough to fully wet-out the layup. More epoxy means more weight, but lack of epoxy means loss of strength, so

Thank you for the pics, Bruce! I very much enjoyed my time at the Field of Dreams reunion. I very much enjoyed getting to visit with everyone. This is one of the finest bunch of folks I've ever gotten

The next time I pull the cowling, I’ll take some pictures of the race car fire suppression system. Unless I find pictures sooner. Jerry

Dear Q-community, the bulkheads of the Q1 are already cut and the worktable for vacuum-wrap is ready to go. After I study again the Quickie wokshop manual on page 3-11 in Step 7: Squeegeeing

Great Idea, thats even better than PRA, and with talk down thrown in at a fraction of the price. Its a wonder there isnt a Q200 in Florida with a similar set up. :-) Lots of

Sorry Richard, I misspoke. Should have said lidar altimeter. Very useful on landing. Calls out AGL to me as I round out and right down to touchdown. Kind of like having Buzz Aldrin sitting next to me

Thanks Jay , I will have a look. FN has the closing plates as well, always wondered how close the screw holes were to the tank wall. Precision radar eh, have you got

Thanks Jay. My goal is to get into the air as soon and as simply possible. May consider hot or cold venting for later conditions but nothing else unless there is a second project. The recording and

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
