Y’know, when I was considering my first homebuilding project, I had another friend in St Louis (not Jim F) that was building one of these, with a VW. He got transferred to Texas, and I later met Jim. Never looked back on my decision to build a KR, but those Quickies and Dragonflies sure look – um- futuristic. That the fastest I ever heard of one going. Most VW KRs can outdo a similar Quickie, I think. And a whole lot less expensive to build!

[Sam Hoskins bio – EAA Chapter 277] Sam is running an 0-200 with 9 to 1 compression, electronic ignition and fuel injection, turns a 60X74 prop (I didn't note the maker, I think its a Cato), runs wide open throttle turning 3000 rpm and burning 8 gph. He turns in race times in the 205 mph range. Sam flew the airplane from west coast to east coast in the USA in less than 24 hours a few years back. How's that for a personal goal? Larry Flesner
