No thanks. This is not at all a critical design. Since it is a wet wing I have had to add an extra ply that is completely redundant and WAY overbuilds the structure. Also the LS-1 wing is a little

Nice site, decent data. But most applications look mostly cosmetic and/or low loaded. I think you are pioneering with the material, make really sure that you are safe! Like with those hot/wet

I've looked at all of those and am well along. The design is frozen. This is my 9th homebuilt (I'm old).

If you are building a Quickie with the LS1 canard, you may want to check out Waddlow. He has a process of building without using the carbon spars.  Also check out Dragonfly airplanes, they have

It seems to be working fine for me: https://lingrove.com/ekoa-prepregs

Bob, when you mentioned flax fibers I peaked my ears! I've worked a bit with flax composites some 15 years ago. Is the material mature enough to use in an aircraft? I remember problems like no

Sounds like a fun project, Bob. The DA-2 is an easy plane to work on, and to fly. I like the sound of your proposed fixes. Good luck. Cheers, Jay

My DA-2A is a rebuild project I'm afraid. It was built in Midland and overseen by Leeon so you may recall it. Mine is the only DA-2A built with wing tanks. Like RV tanks they are removable sections of

That’s one more coincidence. I knew Leeon Davis and his family in Midland TX, and Stanley Davis, Leeon’s brother, is the one who taught me to fly. I love that little boxy DA-2. It got more sleek

I wasn’t aware of that. I also have a Davis DA-2A.

Wow Bob, You and Keith W. are like twins! Each of you with a T-18 and a Q1. What are the odds of that, I wonder? Cheers, Jay

I'm in Santa Rosa, CA but we are hoping to move shortly to escape the fires (we lost our home in 2017) so airplane progress is halting at best. Hopefully we'll end up near San Luis Obispo on the

Hi Bob! Where are you located? Bruce

And so it begins! Dave’s alien gift from Orange is still up and looking for Dave and bunch! And Honey Lamb is excited to see everybody

Thanks! I’m using a no-name 680cc aluminum air-cooled V2 diesel to which I am adding a tiny turbocharger and intercooler. What’s changed since you looked is probably direct injection. Engine

What diesel engine are you considering? I looked at the V-twin Chinese diesels more than a decade ago and discarded the idea as not practical. There are some interesting marine 2 stroke diesel

Thanks for these files. I won't be using the Q200 spars or, frankly, any recognizable internal bits. All I really need is the wing shape. I'm building wet wings for my turbo-diesel Q1 with the idea

Forgot to mention that finding/making cores cores is not going to be the problem. The Q-1 LS-1 uses the same spar as the Q-200, just a different part of them. I've been away from the Q world so

Quickie LS-1 templates CAD generated via TurboCad many years ago: BTW the CAD files posted on the old site were scanned from my work, by another, and are NOT true to the original.
