.....The
standard Q2 Package 1 contains completely prefabricated fuselage shells,
pictures of which are included with this newsletter. In addition, all
machined and welded components are prefabricated as well as the canopy
which is already trimmed. These items, along with the remaining raw materials
and components, allow the builder to complete the Q2 airframe. The aforementioned
fuselage shells are sandwich composite and shipped in four sections.
(upper and lower forward fuselage and upper and lower aft fuselage) These
shells result in an extremely accurate, pretty, easy to build, and light
fuselage. The weight savings over the more conventional buildup type
of structure is over 25 pounds.
..... Deliveries of Q2 Packages 2
and 3 will begin in March, 1981. The backlog on these packages
is also about 7 weeks. Q2 Construction Plans, Section I, for Package
1, are available. Section II will be available at the same time
as the initial deliveries of Packages 2 and 3. The Q2 Construction
Plans contain full scale templates for all important parts, and
additional explanation and detailing compared to the original Quickie
Construction Plans. A measure of the simplicity of Q2 construction
is that much less paper is required to explain to the builder in
greater detail how to construct his Q2.
..... Effective 1 March, 1981, the
Special Introductory Price of S8995.00 when one purchases the entire
kit, including engine, at one time, will no longer be in effect.
Instead, the prices on the 3 packages will be as follows:
| $5400.00 |
|
Package
1 |
| 1300.00 |
|
Package
2 |
| 2895.00 |
|
Package
3 â electric starter $140.00 extra |
 |
|
|
.....The
full page and half page 4-color ads introducing the Q2 that you will
be seeing in the major aviation magazines come March, reflect those increased
prices, so one has a limited time in which to save as much as S600.00
on the purchase of a Q2, enough to purchase an extra radio for your bird.
Remember, 1 March, 1981 is the deadline. |
Q2
NEWS
.....Deliveries
of Q2 Package 1 components began 9 February, 1981. We currently have
over 60 orders for Q2âs and a backlog of about 7 weeks, |
even
though we have twice increased our production rate to compensate for
increasing orders. It looks as though further increases in the production
rate are necessary to bring the backlog down to the 30 day level that
we prefer to see it at. |
