https://q-list.groups.io/g/main/topics GU canard profile on Q2, LS1 on Q200. LS1 needs the tapered carbon spars, which is the killer because they aren't available. Have to find an old kit. People have used Dragonfly canard construction on newer Q200 builds I think. Tap test everywhere on the canard for delamination. Lots of mods documented on Q-list. Gross should be 1100#

The information will come. Just be patient. Many threads on this forum about wanting Quickie plans. I got them as well.

All of this info and more, including the people who post it and understand it are here: https://q-list.groups.io/g/main/topics I think I remember that it's between 15# and 20# on the tailwheel, loaded for flight, with the fuselage level. Very purposefully, this number will change very little with high or low fuel and passenger or no passenger. The well documented engine mounts for the various engines take care of the different engine's Cs-of-G. I've seen/heard of Jabirus needing 12" longer cowls because the engine had to get pushed soo far forward. Makes for a very different looking machine in my opinion.

If you have not already, sign up here. https://q-list.groups.io/g/main There is a subgroup for the Q1. There is a current builder who posts here and on the Q-list. There is a fly-in in the fall in Iowa where two very nice flying examples will be. I'm sure other opportunities before then.

These starters are currently (and have been for a while) used heavily in the automotive restoration (upgrade) and racing community. I'm guessing there are several companies making the same models/configurations. Just need to confirm pinion specs and rotation direction. https://www.densoautoparts.com/starters https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/denso-first-time-fit-starter-remanufactured-f5000404094nd/10744235-p?c3ch=PLA&c3nid=10744235-P&adtype=pla_with_promotion&product_channel=online&store_code=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI77DxtL3y8wIVAfezCh0tkgA-EAYYBSABEgIY0PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds You and James Bond can share starters if need be. 😁 https://www.classiccarperformance.com/collections/britishstarters-com/products/aston-martin-db4-db5-db6-high-torque-starter?variant=29080484621

Given the above, I think you did the right thing. Next time you find something you like, take an expert along. It will be worth it in the short and long run.

I contacted you regarding this kit nearly a year ago now. I'm still interested. I have a Q2 now that I'm restoring. A little paint/faring work, but mainly interior and panel. Please keep me informed.

Read the posts from Monday to now on the last page of this thread.

Same on BarnStormers. https://www.barnstormers.com/cat_search.php?headline=&body=&part_num=&mfg=&model=&user__profile__company=&user__last_name=&user__first_name=&user__profile__country=&specialcase__state=&user__profile__city=&user__profile__uzip=&specialcase__phone=&user__email=&my_cats__name=&price__gte=&price__lte=&keyword=Q-2&search_type=keyword

Logic based around words/phrases such as, "rare and expensive", "don't believe", and "lower", seems problematic. (would not pass a design review at my engineering company) Don't "assume" for aviation or explosives. However, tens of thousands of trouble free flight hour from engine configuration X should be a strong argument.

Thrust bearing(s) location due to opposite primary thrust direction?

😆 I can hear the blood boiling now! 🥵 Sorry.

https://q-list.groups.io/g/main http://www.quickheads.com https://imageevent.com/qdf_files/quickiefiles Also, search Q-Tour on youtube. The experts are there. The one in IN on barnstormers looks good. I would be all over it if I wasn't set on the original canard and gear. 635# empty is fine.

D-Motor LF39 was $27-28k last I checked. Seemed like a big step up in price for two more cylinders.
