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."
