Quickie Q2/Q200

#1 Post by Letun »

The Quickie Q2 or Q2 is a two-seater version of the unique Rutan Quickie, produced in kit form by the Quickie Aircraft Corporation founded by Tom Jewett and Gene Sheehan. Canadian Garry LeGare was involved in the design.

The Q2 is a tandem wing design, having one forward wing and one rear wing (instead of the more usual main wing and horizontal stabilizer). The elevators are fitted to the forward wing so that all pitch control comes from the forward wing, similar to the canard configuration. The Q2 is a "taildragger" with fixed (non-retractable) main wheels faired into spats located at the tips of the forward wing. As efficient as the original design, the Q2 is also of composite construction.
