Default Doddger kit...

the dodger is a low wing quickee that was a competitive model in the mid 90's. I think it won the nats once or twice with craig grunkmeiyer flying them. It has a alum landing gear that attaches to the fuse. Today's v-tails with the modern airfoils are faster, but I know a guy who can beat me pretty bad with one when he feels like it. I don't think there in production any more, anyways that my 2 cents worth

Default My Doddger still lives

I built one of these about a year and half ago and its still flyable. This kit got my "juices" flowing to get into Quickie racing and now I completely hooked. I'm racing every 424 event within a 400 mile radius, keeps me out of trouble. I would suggest adding some 1/32 ply to the nose and wing attach area. Toothpick reinforcement on the firewall, landing block and wing attach blocks. I would also get rid of the wing dowel attachment and go with 4 nylon bolts. If you build the mid-tail(as I did) don't skimp on fiberglass on the vertical and and vertical attach to the fuselage. I re-glassed my tail to fuselage joint twice due to cracking. On landings this plane carries much more speed than my current lighter Quickies. Two thumbs up for a first Quickie kit and or sport plane. If you want to go racing get a Racer II or that ARF(P#%^<_?%!, P-something). Good luck
