QUICKIE CONSTRUCTION PLANS

.....At the 1978 Oshkosh, Wisconsin flyin, we had several sets of Quickie Construction Plans available for visitors to examine. In addition, individuals are welcome to visit our Mojave, California facility and study the plans there.
.....However, many visitors at Oshkosh wanted the opportunity to examine the Quickie Construction Plans at length in the privacy of their own homes. This is understandable and we have decided upon the following arrangement to facillitate this: The Quickie Construction Plans are available for $150. Purchasers of the plans will be entitled to a $150, discount on the purchase price of the Quickie Aircraft Kit. These plans are identical to what an individual would use to build a Quickie from our Quickie Aircraft Kit.

QUICKIE POSTER

.....We have available a 15” x 21” full color poster of the Quickie suitable for framing. It is basically a reprint of the centerfold picture from the October, 1978 issue of Sport Aviation magazine. We wish to extend our gratitude to Jack Cox for allowing us to reprint it.
.....The picture was taken the same day that we arrived at Oshkosh, 1978, which was two days before the flyin started. As a result, the grass is still green, and no other aircraft can be seen, even though two days later there were over 1500 aircraft there!
.....Copies of the poster are available to any interested party for $5.00, including shipping and handling. California residents please add 6% tax.

QUICKIE PROP CLOCKS

.....Our propeller subcontractor, Cowley Prop Shop, has started making propeller clocks. These clocks use a battery powered quartz clock (with an accuracy of 15 seconds per month) mounted in the hub of a Quickie propeller. The face of the clock can be customized to the customer’s specifications; ours has Q-U-I-C-K-l-E used as the numbers and our N77Q aircraft number on the face. The price is $49.50. More information may be obtained by contacting:

Cowley, Inc. Building 170, Mojave Airport Mojave, Ca. 93501 (805)824-2368

.....Incidentally, the prop clocks are net airworthy, so don’t get the idea that one can be used to power a full size Quickie
.....Cowley also has three other products that Quickie builders might be interested in:

Novus No. 1 Plastic Polish
	Anti-static Dust Repellent UPS paid $3.25 (8oz)
Novus No. 2 Plastic Polish
	Medium Duty Scratch Remover UPS paid $4.50 (8oz)
Spraylat - A opaque film to protect canopy
	from scratches during construction. UPS paid $8.50 (qt.)

QUICKIE KIT PRICES

.....Included with this newsletter is a Sales Agreement reflecting prices effective 25 April, 1979. The overall price increase is only 3.5 percent. These increases were necessary because of across-the-board increases from vendors, some of which amounted to over 30 percent. It is expected that QAC can stabilize prices at this level at least through Oshkosh 1979.
.....We urge new buyers to call QAC before placing their order to obtain current estimates on deliveries. and so that we can assign them a Quickie serial number to alert us to look for their order in the mail.
