    Murphy Maverick?

    So I saw three of what appears to be "Murphy Maverick's" today. Two of them are frames and parts and one is completely built and looks like it could/did/should fly. Even had headsets in it, why I think it must have flown prior. Owner purchased these planes and supposedly this one, has not...

    I am looking at a project for an aircraft that has been sitting for a number of years. So many in fact, the registration has expired. Is getting this aircraft "re registered" as simple as a call to the FAA or is there more that will be involved in order to get the registration current again...

With 180 hp engine it can cruise well over 200 mph, and if the cockpit configuration is changed to a more realistic 4 place it could...

    New to this site

    I'm new here, just looking for "actual" information that anyone has on the Quickie Q200's in particular. I'm not so much interested in building or completing a build (unless it's so close or a good project) I'm interested in the handling, both slow and high speed characteristics - the landing...
