Hi Dave, Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner. Jay is right. Bob did them on his ailerons, he was the engineer. I did them on my elevators and ailerons. We never had any problem switching from stee

This is the dual rudder pedal setup I designed for the “Jim Bob SixPack” 24 years ago. 5/8” - 4130 heavy wall tube, anodized. No twisting here Jim N46JP

Dave, I am really happy to hear that you’re getting close to flying again. I know how much you love your Q bird! Best Jim N46JP Q200

Looks like I will have two Quickies available for parts in the next couple of months. These kits were bought when I bought mine in 1981. The fuselages, wings and canards were put together by an A/P me

Like Sam said, bad things can happen when the canopy opens in flight. I was flying in an airshow a couple years ago and forgot to lock the canopy after the second flight. At about 500’ it raised about

Mike putting that wing on is a major milestone. Your work looks really good. Congratulations! I’ve decided to start building an ARK. We’ve had 55.7’ feet of snow and 17’ feet of rain since October 1.

We’re talking about airplanes here. NO POLITICS! Didn't you get what I said? Call the FAA FSDO in Oklahoma City and report back here on what they told you. Then there will be no ansumptions and everyo

Hey Robert, Couldn’t you sell your Quickie to your newly formed LLC and do the registration as a change in ownership. That’s what Trump did on his 757 when his registration expired and couldn’t be ren

Yet Troy, Where’s your Q?

Nice report as usual Jay. You make us feel like we’re in the plane with you. Best, Jim N46JP Q200
