    Hi Vernon, Are you asking for photos of My SQ2000 or the one that is in the San Diego area? The plane is Based at the Gillespie airport in San Diego. I do not have any photos of that aircraft.

    Thank you Marc for the info. I agree with your comments on the SQ2000 in the San Diego area. That aircraft was in my hanger for over 5 months before going to Bill's hanger at Chino. My SQ2000 (N14275) is flying great, I'm out of Corona (KAJO). We met up in Mohave for the 5oth anniversary of the Long Ez. with Burt Dick Rutan a couple of years ago.

    I have a SQ 2000 that I bought in Florida May of 2018. I flew it home and absolutely love it. I am based at Corona airport (KAJO) in California. I have some photos of the plane somewhere in the Canardzone. I have over 118 hours on it now, I am putting in a new Grand Rapids 10.1 EFIS. Hope to be back in the air next week. Let me know if you any questions. Kevin

    Those were installed to help with airflow across the ailerons at slow speeds. When Norm Caruana the builder test flew the plane, he stated that at slow speeds the ailerons were sluggish. Sam a test pilot for velocity aircraft was flying with Norm and recommend the fences. Problem solved and handles very good at slow speeds. Really the only time I am flying slow is landing, we try to touch down at 75 knots, and still have aileron control.

    When It was being built there was problems with the retractable landing gear. The retract mechanism was hanging up in the wheel wells. Norm Caruana the builder and owner decided to remove the retractable landing gear and install fixed gear. You don’t have to worry about it not coming down. The gear is 12.5 feet wide, and very stable. We hold 54 gallons of fuel, and we are cruising around 180 MPH. I want to install wheel pants soon, that should help with a little more speed. I have a Prince carbon fiber prop, with P tips. It is 82x65. We also installed a Master Balancer on the fly wheel and it is outstanding. Thanks for your interest. Kevin

    Hi Ryan, I have a SQ2000 in Corona CA and love it. I know about the plane in San Diego, it was in my hanger for about 5 months. My thoughts about that airplane is to stay clear of it. It needs some work, they are talking about replacing the wings. Marc Zeitlin wrote about it and I agree with what he said. I am not here to bad mouth anyone, but be careful about the workmanship on that plane. Read Marc’s comments. My SQ is great aircraft, I was fortunate to buy the plane in Florida. The workmanship is outstanding. I flew it across country and had no problems. I have 97 hours on her now. Kevin King

    I bought a SQ2000 in St Petersburg FL in May of 2018. Flew it across the country to Corona CA in 5 days, stopping to visit friends and family. It is a great flying airplane, nice and smooth. It is sure a conversation piece at the pumps when you stop for fuel. I was in no hurry to get home, so I would some times talk with people for 2 hours about the SQ. I have a climb prop on it, she climbs at 1,800 FPM very easily. Top speed is 160 knots, I'm going to put a cruse prop on some day. I am planning on flying to Copper state (Buckeye, AZ) this Feb 8 thru 10, 2019 for the airshow. If you guys are around look me up. Thanks Kevin

    Kent I saw your post on the SQ2000. I have one that I have flown 34 hrs in. Flew it across the United States from Florida to California. I am bases in Corona CA (KAJO). Great flying airplane, when you land to get fuel don't think your going to leave anytime soon. When people see the plane they stop by and want to see it. Do you know of any builders / ware to get parts? I do not need anything, but always looking for contacts. Thanks Kevin
