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

Hey Cornmeg,
It's true. The fuselage of the Q2 and Q-200 was supplied in the kits from QAC as four separate fuselage shells:
Top Front
Bottom Front
Top Rear
Bottom Rear
I have been trying to think of a way to describe them so that they can be built from templates, but I haven't come up with a way. (Yet.)
The originals were created in a mold and vacuum bagged. They have several compound curves and therefore would be kinda' tricky to build without making molds for them.
However, they show up on eBay every once in a while, and sometimes on barnstormers. If I find links to them, I will post them here on this website for everyone to see.
On the other hand, I'm pretty onfident that a Q1 could be built from scratch as it was more "plans built" than it ever was a "kit" per se. It would require a little ingenuity, but I think it could be done. I will be working on this concept over the coming weeks and months.
I hope this helps answer your question. Please let me know. I appreciate your time and hope this finds you well.
Best regards,
