Sam, What a great tribute and you deserve it. We all have learned a lot from you. You keep the flame burning 🔥 my friend. All the best Jim N46JP ~ Q200 1785 hours as of today’s landing. Still

Congrats Sammy!! You certainly took the Q200 past what Quickie Aircraft expected especially with respect to engine up dates ie fuel injection, high compression pistons, electronic ignition just to

Sam, WOW, congratulations! Terrific milestone indeed, and inspirational! Loved the videos, thanks for sharing your experiences and know-how all these 35 years! Alan

That's great Sam! You made me look up my first flight 8-4-1985. Amazing that there still really isn't anything as efficient as our little Q-Birds to this day! Fly Safe Mike Dwyer Q200 N3QP YouTube

Well done Sam, that is a real accomplishment. Especially as that is first flight and not just building time. Thanks for all the help and info you have given over the years, it has been

Jerry, Let us know when you reach 1000 hours! That is a milestone and gets you reserved parking at OSH! Cheers, Jay

Congrats Sam! You were flying, I was building! Cheers, Jay

Congratulations Sam! You win for high time. I've only got about 1,700 hours on mine - but it's still got the original wings!! Paul

Sam, Congratulations from the new guy owning 200 QK. Hopefully you can celebrate by getting a flight in today! Mike. N200QK

Congrats Sam! That’s quite the accomplishment. Corbin -- Corbin N121CG

Congratulations!! What a milestone. I first flew in 1997 and have only 948hrs. I dont think I'll catch either one of your markers. Not only did it fly; it's the fastest.

I just happened to notice that today marks the 35th anniversary of the first flight in my Q-200. Wow. I had a lot of friends that didn't think it would ever fly - they didn't realize how stubborn I

Figured out it will be exceedingly difficult to mount floats on it and fly it to Alaska, so I got a Glastar. Has 524 hours on logs and is currently registered. No damage history. Phil Langford has the

Very nice work, Eugen. I hope that Burt Rutan gets to see your final product. Cheers, Jay

Dear Q-list Group, the Q1 fuselage assembly progress is stil on going, the last bulkhead 110 is on his place. So the next step will curve the outside of the fuselage to create the unique Q1 lines.

Michel, The QAC advice was that the GU could not handle the O-200 engine mass. I think enough O-200’s have been installed and successfully flown with GU canards over many trouble free hour so as

A great thank Sam for your efforts at perpetuating the Quickie saga. These talks are really interesting. For example I did not think that you could have a GU canard and O-200 combination. Michel

I seem to remember one 235 installation had a swing away mount. Or maybe I am imagining that. Cheers, Jay

There was a guy in Albuquerque in the 1990s who was putting an O-235 in his Dragonfly. I know because I bought the 2180 VW he removed to do it. An O-235 is wider than an O-200. I don't think it would

I believe Sammy Hoskins and Bob Malecek were faster both with 0200’s both “pumped” Bruce
