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.

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

Great videos. Thanks for sharing. You should join and post this to the Dragonfly list. That list needs some inspiration. https://dragonflylist.groups.io/g/main

What are your thoughts about carefully grinding and smoothing a 0.5" dia. or larger "stop crack" before the flox and reinforcement layups? Not suggesting this, just wondering if this pre-layup geometry would make the repair worse, only a little better, or no change. Thanks,

Congratulations! That is amazing and the bird looks great!

DOH! Palm to forehead. 😒

I search for "Q2", "Q200", and "quickie" and can't find this ad. Search for "Q-2" and there it is. Super annoying.

Jon, I sent a PM to you regarding your Q2 kit.
