Rowland ,
The Quickie site is available by sending an e-mail with subscribe in the
title to Q-LIST@yahoogroups.com. I don't think you will find many Quickie
pilots wanting to experiment with different engines though and that includes
newfangled Jabiru, Rotax 4 strokes and Subaru implants. Not until they give
aircraft priority in use of motorways after engine failure! I will stick to
the trusty VW with millions of hours and all known failure modes understood
especially since failure of a VW hardly ever stops it producing enough power
to get you down safe, in one case locally even when the crankshaft was
snapped in two! For me better the devil you know since it would be hard to
keep all the bits of a Quickie in one field if it ever truly goes quiet up
front and I have 1000hrs cross country gliding as preparation.
