Re: Watch “Dr. Steve’s first solo flight in his Q2 - 1989” on Vimeo
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

Re: Really so hard to land?
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

Re: Really so hard to land?
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

Really so hard to land?
Rumor has it the Quickie Q2 is really hard to land and sometimes rumors are just that, rumors and not true. Any thoughts would be appreciated before I embark on this Quickie rescue mission ;-)
Thanks
