I am looking for a Quickie Q2 or Q200... unassembled is preferable.. But I will consider a Quickie at any stage of contstruction. I will even consider a completed unit.

The engine specified above is a typo. It was an Onan engine. The original engine was 18 hp, and had a direct-drive prop. The factory published plans to convert the 18 hp to 22 hp, but they had some problems, I think head gaskets and something else, detonation? They researched a turbocharged Onan but it was not released. The Onan was heavy for its weight. For its size and hp it is stressed very low. It has huge bearings, a very strong crank, but restrictive intake and exhaust.

I am looking into a modification of the "Quickie". This is for a 1 /3 (?) scale model of a modified Corsair F-2 type forward wing / gear, with two counter rotating snowmobile Wankel engines, for torque / flight control. Any part built kits available?
