- Dana- A couple of thoughts.- How hard is it to take a Quicksilver apa
rt for winter storage?- Do you really want to rent a hanger?- Your new
field is just a field.- As far as reliability, you only had the one probl
em that I remember.- You didn't mention the price on the Quick, but there
are some very attractive prices on two seat Kolbs on Barnstormers lately.
- As far as landing off airport in Ct., you are more likely to need climb
ing gear than long legs.

Dana,
Have you ever had an accident in any airplane?
I don't have any experience with a Quicksilver but know that I would not be comfortable
in a fuselage structure made of only aluminum tubing. The one landing
incident I had in an early FS that resulted in me flipping over on to my back
resulted in minor injury to my shins from impact with the instrument panel. Otherwise,
I was completely untouched, except economically.
Many Kolbers have experienced walk-away incidents that might not have turned out
so well in all aluminum designs.
My SS is NOT for sale but there are quite a few FS for sale on barnstormers at
the moment. Personally, I would not risk my butt in a Quick crash by saving a
few $k, even if I had to beg, borrow or purloin the difference in price between
a Quck and Kolb.

- A couple more thoughts.- If the two seat Quicksilver is N-numbered, w
hat is Connecticut's property tax?- Is Conn. going up on the aircraft tax
/registration? -And, how much more is the insurance on a two seater?- A
nd finally, why is your friend letting it go so cheap?

Broken aluminum tubes from some other brand L/S Aircraft that's out there

Dana, Quicks have their drawbacks, all planes do, even Kolbs. :-} It will be
as safe you are so if it passes inspection and you like the way it flies,
have fun. You said the price is very attractive, maybe you can fly it until
you tire of not having a Kolb, sell it for a profit, and find yourself a
nice Mk III.

Yes, I crashed a few years back... in an early Quicksilver. It hurt. I
walked with a cane for about 3 months afterward, but I walked away from the
wreck.
I could have repaired that Quick in a few weeks for a few hundred bucks;
similar damage to a Kolb would have taken a _lot_ longer to fix, probably a
year or more at the rate I work, and cost a lot more. That's when I sold
the Quick, as is, and bought the UltraStar. This is not a criticism of
Kolbs, Kolbs are much better airplanes in many ways... but everything is
compromise.

It's not just about the material, but also the structural design. I know
Quick pilots who don't feel comfortable with the idea of sitting way out in
front like I do in my US.
I still don't know what I'm going to do right now... I'm just toying with
the idea, trying to decide what I really want, within the constraints of
what I can afford.

- It does give you something to think about until winter's official end.
- April 15th, when winter and a three letter demon also departs.- Money
is always a consideration.- Good luck, and hold off as long as you can-
others will check in with an opinion.

Reminds me of flying my T-Craft around the same time. No, my instructor

- Dana- Did your friend re-register with the FAA?- There was some kind
of a cut-off date on that, but I think there is a way around it if you have
all the paperwork.
