Potential Quckie Owner's questions -- correction

Mike Perry <dmperry1012@...> #21729 Sorry, I wrote "over 40 mph with the VW engine or at slower speeds" but I meant over 40 miles per gallon with the VW or at slower speeds. Mike Perry toggle quoted message Show quoted text At 08:46 PM 8/26/2005 -0700, you wrote: Hi Dave -- I once considered buying a Katana so I'll take a shot at this. You are talking about two totally different aircraft. The Katana is a trainer, flies safe, lands slow (about 50 knots on final). The Q2/Q200 is a hot rod. It flies safe but it lands very hot -- 75 knots or greater on final. The canard design makes it very safe, there is no stall of the main wing. It is very efficient, with guys getting 30+ miles per gallon, and over 40 mph with the VW engine or at slower speeds. Also: The Q family are all experimental/homebuilt. No two are alike. They require careful study of their idiosyncrasies, and you will have to be more involved in the maintenance. They can be wonderful airplanes, but they can also be dangerous (read the old newsletters about first flight fatalities). Perhaps the biggest difference is experimental vs. certified. If your experience is all in Cessna/Piper/Diamond trainers, you will find huge differences. I suggest you read "Spam Can or Homebuilt?" in the May 2005 Aviation Consumer. I don't agree with everything said in the article, but it will give you a good place to start from. If you are still interested in a Q2/Q200 I suggest you come to a fly-in or visit a builder before you go any further.

But before I dive in, I'd like to know so information and some solid number from both by people who actually fly them. How does it handle compared to a Katana? How does it stall? Whats the normal cruise speed? (really, dont exaggerate) Any tendency to spin? What the GPH rate at Cruise speed? How wide is the cabin? I have a million questions, but ill start with these. I've read all the quickie websites, but the numbers always vary.

attorneyadam@... #21731 I've got about 10 hours in a katana and the only thing in common is the differential braking... Quickie will challenge your guts, make you a better pilot, and either you'll love it or hate it! Flying a Q isn't the challenge, but taking off at much higher speeds and landing at mach 9 will give you a reason to go to church! Go fly with someone (more than once preferably) first, think it over, and make your decision...

Robert Justin #21732 I suggest you qualify in a Piper Tomahawk if you can find some one with a Q-2. It takes off and lands at 70 knots and is a good transition aircraft to use when moving in to a high performance aircraft. toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Perry" <dmperry1012@...> To: <Q-LIST@...> Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2005 11:30 PM Subject: Re: [Q-LIST] Potential Quckie Owner's questions -- correction Sorry, I wrote "over 40 mph with the VW engine or at slower speeds" but I meant over 40 miles per gallon with the VW or at slower speeds.

Jim Patillo #21738 Steve, Minor detail. You should know that you can fly any type airplane and then jump right in a Q200 and fly it! Shame on you! Jim P.
