Vehicle Description
***NO RESERVE*** Rutan Quickie Q2 Experimental Aircraft Airplane with construction plans ***NO RESERVE***
This item was listed previously and the sale was never finalized due to financial issues with the buyer. He never even saw the plane and it was not a result of dissatisfaction with it in any way. I am posting this simply so I dont have to reply to countless emails regarding to previous listing.
It is now being relisted with NO RESERVE.
High bidder owns the Quickie !!!
Before you bid please read these conditions of sale.
Due to my past experience with slow payment and pick up of items the winner MUST paypal or overnight mail a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the auction closing. The balance to be paid in CASH or CASHIERS CHECK upon pickup of the plane. Plane MUST be picked up within 7 DAYS of the auction. Unless previous arrangements are agreed to there will be a $30 per day storage fee beginning on the 8th day.
This is a complete body of a Rutan Quickie model Q2 with construction plans. It appears to have all the controls, cables, fuel lines, brakes, wiring etc. intact. There is no motor. This is a used plane that has flown in the past. The bubble is gone but the frame, hinges and latch are there. It has been in storage for a while and will need some interior work as well as the mechanical parts to make it fly. I simply do not have time to complete the project.
I have NO paperwork or current or previous FAA # with this plane. However, since the last listing I have obtained from the previous owner a full set of Q2 construction plans. There are a few pictures of the plans including the table of contents.
There is no motor with this plane. The specs below are for the plane as it was from the factory.
I dont know a whole lot about it but will try to answer any questions you may have.
As you can see in the pictures, the tail section is easily removed and it will fit on a 16' car hauling trailer for transport. $500 deposit due immediately after the auction closes and balance due upon pickup within 7 days unless previous arrangments are made. Buyer responsible for pickup or shipment. I am located just west of LubbockTexas approx. 8 miles zip code 79382.
Here are some specs on the plane as well as a couple of links for more info.
These specs are for the plane as it was from the factory. There is NO MOTOR or any part of the power trane with this plane.

Rutan Quickie
The Quickie is a light homebuilt aircraft designed by Burt Rutan, Tom Jewett, and Gene Sheehan. Produced in kit form, and marketed by the Quickie Aircraft Corporation (founded by Jewett and Sheehan), over 2000 kits were sold before production ended. One of the dozens of unconventional aircraft penned by Rutan for the general aviation market, the original Quickie is Model 54 in Rutan’s design series.
Appearing at first glance to be a modified biplane or canard design, the Quickie is in fact a tandem wing aircraft; both the front and rear wings are full airfoils. The forward wing is technically a canard, fitted with elevators, but it provides about 60% of the lift. The design has no horizontal tail, as all pitch control comes from the forward canard. Highly efficient, and of composite construction, the Quickie is a typically radical Rutan aircraft.
Variants
There are three main versions of Rutan's design. The Quickie has one seat and is powered by a 20 horsepower (15 kW) engine. The Quickie Q2 has a 64 horsepower (48 kW) Volkswagen engine and seats two side by side, while the Q200 (also seating two) is faster than the Q2 with a 105 horsepower (78 kW) Continental O-200 engine and uses a different airfoil for the canard. Both the Q2 and the Q200 can be constructed as Tri-Qs, featuring tricycle rather than conventional landing gear.
