Interested in purchasing Quickie Q2
Christopher
I came across a Quickie Q2 for sale on craigslist at Camarillo. Here is the link https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/avo/d/camarillo-q2-experimental-rutan-quickie/7386958812.html The plane was completed a few years ago but has never flown due to medical issues with the owner. It does have a valid airworthiness and registration. It looks like a great way to get into a Quickie. What concerns should I have about a plane like this?
On another note, I am based in Livermore at LVK. Does anyone have a Q2/Q200 nearby that I could talk to/look at their airplane? Thank you

What is your name and flight background? Your background as a pilot is a very important detail that people on this list need to know in order to offer useful advice.

Alan Thayer is based at LVK and has a Q2 with a Jabiru engine that is not finished and has not flown. Alan mostly flies his long-ez. Jim Patillo has a 1000+ hour Q200 based in auburn but commutes to LVK almost weekly. I think he still has a hangar at LVK that he keeps his plane in while in town, but I will let him speak for himself. Cheers, Jay Tri-Q2 N8WQ

Hi Jay, Thank you for the information about the quickies in Livermore.
I am not sure exactly what you would like to know about my flying experience but I will give a quick summary. I have about 250 hours of flying time. I have 50 hours of tailwheel time and have flown complex and high power airplanes. I am also instrument rated.

If you pass it up I'd like to buy it. I don't think I can finish mine and would love to fly.

A list of aircraft flown, and your time in each would also be helpful. Assuming your name is Chris, right?

Thanks, I'm all the way up in Wa. I haven't been down to SD area since 2015. If I knew then I would have stopped by.

Hi Jim,
I do not currently have a hangar in Livermore. I am a member of the flying particles flying club. I think I have seen your plane around the airport but I have never seen where it goes. I would love to see your plane up close. Are you frequently at your hangar?

Yes I’m out there weekly and was there last Saturday and Sunday. My number is 510-468-4891. My plane is the one pictured on this Quickie Site main page.
