Quickie Q2 Lite Construction Manual - page 14
Building Sequence
.....
The nature of the Q2 structure requires that a part be left alone
to cure for a longer period of time than that required to build it.
Thus, you will find that when following the step-by-step order, you will
often find yourself out of work, waiting for a cure. In most cases you
can skip to another chapter and build another part while waiting. With a
little planning and familiarity with the entire manual, you should be
able to use all of your time productively.
Questions?
.....
Please use the procedure detailed here if you do not understand
something and need an answer. First of all, do not be concerned if you
do not understand everything the first time you read through the plans.
Many things that may not be obvious just reading the drawings, will be
obvious when you have that portion of the airplane in front of you or
have built a similar part in a previous chapter. Also, we will be able
to help you better if you are looking at that portion of your airplane.
So, do not ask for clarification until you are really working-on that
particular chapter. We have found through our Quickie and Q2 experience
that the majority of questions that the homebuilder asks are already
answered somewhere in the plans. We have made considerable effort in the
Q2 Construction Plans to make the information visible. If you do not
understand something, study the words in the step, study the sketches
and all related sections/views/ photos, then look through the full size
drawings and components that show that portion of the airplane. If the
answer is still not found, it may be that the item is covered in detail
in another chapter (there is some necessary overlap). It is possible
that a question related to the operation of a part of the airplane or
its maintenance is answered in your Q2 Pilot's Manual. Also, check your
back issues of "The Quickie Newsletter" for plans updates or
clarifications. OK, if you have checked everything and you are still
stumped, you can do one of three things:
1.
Ask a friend. Often a description of an item is unclear to one
individual and clear to another.
2.
Write to Quickie Aircraft Corporation, leaving room on the paper
under each question for our answer. INCLUDE A SELF-ADDRESSED,
STAMPED ENVELOPE and INCLUDE YOUR AIRCRAFT SERIAL NUMBER. We do
our best to answer all such questions within two days of receipt.
We cannot answer questions regarding the application of non-
recommended materials or regarding non-approved modifications.
