Norm Coote’s Q2 Project

This Q2 project was acquired 6 years ago and had been started around 1985 by a builder in Belfair who then gave it to another some time later and then I bought it from him. The “airframe” was constructed but not finished nor was any rigging complete. Nearly 1900 hours later with another year to go prior to any taxi testing or engine starting to take place.

The engine is a Corvair with William Wynne’s modifications installed. The engine is a “zero”

time major rebuild. The prop is a Warp Drive model at least to start with. The wheels tires brakes and brake lines are all new. Panel has Dynon panel and D2 pocket panel, VAL avionics radio. I have built the engine mount, exhaust system, many other parts, and the aux 10 gal fuel tank which brings total fuel to 30 gallons. Should go 5 to 6 hours range. Major items remain to build are the engine cowling, canopy sealing, top side painting.
