Q2 & Q-200 Construction Plans
To make matters worse, many unscrupulous eBay sellers are listing copies of the plans on CD that they downloaded for free from the internet!
If you've bought one of these sets of plans (or downloaded any of the free versions) you'll notice that there is often missing information, and sometimes even entire chapters missing! In addition, these bargain basement copies have photos that look like they were a fifth generation Xerox copies.
Well, I was frustrated by these copies myself. So I decided to put my design skills to good use. Over the years I've managed to acquire 3 sets of original Q-2 and Q-200 Plans. I sorted out the best pages, ensured that the latest revisions and plans addendums are included. So basically what you''re buying here is THE most complete set of Q-2 and Q-200 plans that you could ever hope to buy. I scanned every page at 300 DPI with different levels of contrast. (One level for photos, and one for text.)
Next I combined the two files so that the images and the text were crystal clear. In addition, I cleaned up all the pencil markings made by the original builders, and removed blemishes, dirt, and binding holes digitally. (Since all of the pages are scans of original documents printed by QAC ALL of the pictures are perfectly legible.)
You can download a couple of free sample pages that illustrate the hundreds of hours that went into compiling these plans by clicking here.
Once payment is made, you'll be able to instantly download all 20 Chapters of the plans, plus the extras, in a single ZIP file. (No waiting for a dissapointing CD to arrive in the mail!) You can print the PDF's full size at 11x17" or follow along on your computer.

About Q2 & Q-200 Construction Plans
I have been a Quickie enthusiast since I was a little kid, but since that time Quickie Aircraft Corporation has gone out of business and original kits and parts are getting harder to find.
To make matters worse, many unscrupulous eBay sellers are listing copies of the plans on CD that they downloaded for free from the internet!
If you've bought one of these sets of plans (or downloaded any of the free versions) you'll notice that there is often missing information, and sometimes even entire chapters missing! In addition, these bargain basement copies have photos that look like they were a fifth generation Xerox copies.
