What engines are used to power Quickies?
The single place Quickie was designed for the 18 hp Onan generator motor. Later improvements made 20 hp and 22 hp Onans available. Single place Quickies have also been flown with Rotax 503 and 1/2 VW engines. Q2’s were designed to use the 65 hp 2100D Revmaster VW engine popular in the early ’80s. This engine was later modified to deliver 75 hp. Q200’s were designed for the 100 hp Continental O200 which are usually found in the much slower Cessna 150. Several builders are working on alternative engines including the Mazda Rotary, Subaru EA-81, Subaru EJ22 Legacy, Rotax 912, and Corvair engines.
