Specifications

Three versions of the Quickie

A two-seater of the Quickie exists! But there was a two-seater look-alike that flew earlier, the Dragonfly. Before we go to the history of the Dragonfly I can tell that there are three versions of the Quickie I know. I give some data I found at http://www.quickiebuilders.org .
I got this remark from Owen Strawn: "The Q2 was developed independently by a canadaian Quickie dealer named Gare Legare, and when he presented it to the factory they redesigned the fuselage."
