Quickie Q2 Lite, Construction Manual

Page: 4 / 299

Q2 Builder Tip Notices (Q2BT9) are intended to provide clarification,
guidance, improved construction methods, and helpful hints of a non-

Corporation building a Q2 from the Q2 Construction Plans. Any
questions on a Q2BT notice should be referred to Quickie Aircraft
Corporation. Each Q2BT has a number and a publication date along with
a description of the builder tip.

landings and
three point takeoffs at
mid/forward c.g. Small change
