Q-200 dragonfly wings was created by kfowler
Hi all i would like to build and fly a Q-200 but as i am a recreational pilot in Australia and restricted to 45kts stall speed the dragonfly meets this requirement but i like the quickie fuse shape buy add the 20 foot wing span from the dragonfly what do you think. i am hopping to use an ea81 engine buy a quickie kit as the fuse is mostly built also we are restriced to 544kg mtow

Flying an aeroplane with only a single propeller to keep you in the air. Can you imagine that?

Hey there,
The last issue of Q-talk #141 (The Quickie Builders Association newsletter) had an article about just such a bird. It can be found in the online archive here:
www.quickheads.com/q-talk-index/
The full article is located here:
www.quickheads.com/q-talk-141-frankenq2.html
The owner says that it started to pitch buck around 43 kts, but you would obviously want to land much higher than that. Granted, I am not a proponent of making major changes like this. I also think anyone thinking about flying a Q should have many hours of flying experience under his/her belt in several types of aircraft.
As a recreational pilot, you may not have the experience. (But then again, I don't know enough about you to judge.)
Hope this helps, please let me know.
Cheers,
Dan Yager
