Way to go Jim.      I watch Dr Steve's flight a couple times a year. I can feel what he is going through. Some things he did wrong and some things right, but at least he did some

Here it is. Watch “Dr. Steve’s first solo flight in his Q2 - 1989” on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/16817064?ref=em-share Jim N46JP Q200

I guess I’ll bite. Hi Robert, tell us about your mechanical and pilot background and where you are located. That will help us understand what to say. Give me a call and I will be happy to explain

The Q-2 and variations are not the easiest aircraft to takeoff and land and are not to be taken lightly. They are a hot little bugger and have quirks that no other aircraft have. There have been

I have a tri-Q2, so I will let the Q2/Q200 guys on the list chime in for most everything else. The common denominator between the Tri-Q2 and the Q2 is landing speed. You have to be comfortable

I have a tri q kit for sale.

Are you looking to rescue a Quickie (single seat) or a Q2? Cheers, Jay

Looking for conversations with folks who are willing to share advice and pitfalls on a Q2 rescue project with me. I have built experimental planes before, I do panels, I do much of the handy work

Vinylesters don’t like to stick to epoxies, that’s for sure, so I’ll offer another option. I have an all-aluminum Davis DA-2A that is the only one ever built with wing tanks. Alas the original

Sanjay, sorry for the delay in response as the last two weeks were eaten up by preps and attendance at Sun N Fun as Richard and I volunteer at the composite workshop all week and bring a lot of stuff

Spray Lat is water based so petroleum products won’t mix. Bruce

Regarding the canopy protection. I think in my case the protection was sprayed on too thin. If I heat it enough to let it release from the canopy the spray cover is too thin and rips. The idea of

Some people claim to have had success removing Spray-LAT with 3M Adhesive Remover. There is also a 3M Adhesive Cleaner (two different products -- both aerosols). If you want to sneak up on it maybe

... … The Dragonfly canopy is not the KR2 canopy, but KR2S builders used the Dragonfly canopy for their projects

Todd went west. The KR2 does look the same, that might be a good option. Goof Off has Acetone in it as the main chemical, so it is going to be a non starter. We used to use Aliphatic Naphtha on

My Dragonfly canopy sat for over 20 years. I finally got enough off that I was able to see that it was crazed in some places, so I gave up. Yes I tried Goof off as well. No es bueno. The only thing
