Without a doubt, the Quickie and it’s (slightly) bigger brother and cousins Q2, Q200, and Dragonfly were what the LSA market attempts to be today, but is failing miserably. You could build one of those, engine and all, for about $5000 in the early ‘80s. You could probably scratch build a Quickie Q1 today for $8000 to $10000, assuming you already had the tools to manufacture the few parts that had previously been supplied by QAC in their kit, and a two car garage (after all, you’d need a place to keep your car ;-)

The LSA market also requires a maximum of 45 Knot stall speed. (51.75mph). Even the original Quickie Q1 built light, 240lb/480 gross, can only slow to 46kt/53mph. And most people built them 50lb heavier that the prototype.

WOW!< A rotax on a Q1. I got a Q1 that will be completed in the next year. Im thinking 24 Horse Honda, ( With Electric Start) Im building mine from parts scrounged from other kits that where given up on. The Rotax looks nice, but sounds like a big damn mosquito

My favourite quickie video. I actually found this investigating a 1/4 scale build. I bought the drawings from Model Airplane News for a wood construction, but did not bother to order balsa and plywood and instead started laminating depron and fiberglass in the spirit of the original design. Unfortunately my work has stopped with fuselage and ready cut and partly glassed wing cores :(

+docrw There's one for sale on barnstormers, which got me curious about them, but of course no idea of the condition or build quality until it is seen in person. Small prop and high rpm, the Q1 is one noisy bird... I read somewhere it was a bad idea tho to do frequent throttle changes in flight, it changes the temperature of the engine quickly which isn't healthy for the engine. Not applicable to your engine?

Yes, Wasabi Racing put two PBS 40s on one. Few flight into test and they had one flame out. Now without a prop, the pilot got hot. And no prop wash on rudder and asymmetric thrust, it was too much for Eliot Seguin to handle. He survived with just a rung bell but the plane was toast.

@@ThePinkPanth3r the JETEZ crash had nothing to do with the Jet engine. The builder tried to ignore reality and covered up a poorly wet out major structural defect. It appears by phots, the epoxy was setting up and they tried to force partially cured epoxy into dry fiberglass, smeared it on, never soaked in, and painted over it. This was the wing skin/spar interface. Vitally important for a long life. Nah, slap a jet on that trash and send it. Reality says "nope".

where is the CG of this aircrafts?
@brandenbc31
6 жыл бұрын
Th CG is roughly 1/4 to 1/3 the distance back between the center of lift of two wings assuming they have nearly the same surface area. This puts roughly twice the wing loading on the forward wing. Most any canard aircraft has about double the wing loading on the forward wing regardless of its size so apply that wing loading and you can use the weight and balance equations and get an idea if where the CG roughly is. This has been my experience if any one knows better please put in your 2 bits!
