    Believe the rights to the Dragonfly were purchased by Dart Industries in South Africa many years ago. 

    They aren't responding to either calls or emails, I don't think Dart Industries is there anymore.

    @Jon Matcho - So the company which purchased the rights no longer exists, it makes the plans orphaned, right?

  2. Hi Jon, so what is the work-around to get Dragonfly plans?

    Tried calling Dart Industries, Telephone: +27 82 5647765, this is their contact number as per EAA, but no success.

    Since Dragonfly is orphaned , why don't we have a strong community with pre-owned plans, like you have the plans here for Q and Q200?

    And since you are planning to start next with Cozy MK IV, the plans are brought by AircraftSpruce and have a very strong community around it, for me as a starter Cozy would be too complex.

    That's a broad statement that's most likely coming from the tail-dragger configuration of the Q1 and Q2/200s. I have flown a Tri-Q200 and was remarkably similar to flying an EZ -- VERY controllable. Yes, the wheels outboard at the wingtips have large moments and ask for a ground loop, but those that have them manage quite fine.

    I concede to your point, I may have prejudged with my readings about Q200, but don't they land at quite higher speeds?

    Material list is missing from my Single seat quickie plans which I purchased, but since I was only studying the plans for understanding of canard designs,  it was no problem.

    If I do think to start with Tri-Q as my first project, does the plans here have all info to build one, including material list?
