THE TEAM CONCEPT

.....We know of several partnerships that have formed in order to build Quickies. Usually, these partnerships consist of two individuals who pool their money so that they can buy one kit immediately and get started. Later, as the money permits, they will buy a second kit so that each one will have an aircraft. By the time they get into building the second aircraft, the individuals will be so at home with the construction process that they can probably build the second aircraft in 325-350 man—hours!
.....The obvious question is how do you find a partner? Try friends, the local airport, the local EAA chapter (look in the phone book), and maybe eyen place an add in the local paper. We don't really want to get into the referral business, but if all else fails, drop us a line and we will pass your name on to any similar minded individuals within a reasonable distance.

DESCRIPTION

QPC 11
Page 5-3; VERTICAL FIN; the 3.8" dimension should be 4.8". If you have already hot-wired the section using 3.8", repair by adding a scrap piece of the blue foam to the root leading edge and carve to approximate airfoil shape to achieve the 4.8". Since root end is inside the fuselage, airfoil shape not critical.

QPC 12
Page 9-4; BL52 wing jig template should be 0.3" less height than shown.
5 Sept 1978
QPC 13
Page 7-14; Left canopy stiffener should be made 1.2" x 30", instead of 1.2" x 25". If already made, you may splice the extra 5" on the forward
edge using two BID at the joint.
5 Sept 1978
QPC 14
Page 16-1; Pitot Tube layout; to avoid confusion, let pitot tube project 2" down and 3" forward of where it exits the canard at BL 34.
5 Sept 1978
QPC 15
Page 16-1; It may be necessary to trim the Instrument Panel so that there will be a 1/16" clearance around the circumference after the shock mounts are installed.
5 Sept 1978
QPC 16
After the ailerons, rudder, and elevators have been rigged in place so that the ends have been trimmed for clearance, glass the ends with one BID to protect the foam.
5 Sept 1978
