Page 13: General Description
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Quik is an advanced weight-shift controlled aircraft. It may be flown solo or dual without ballast. The aircraft has been developed for advanced cross-country touring performance; a stable hands-off cruise of 75 to 80 mph makes long cross-country trips very practicable. Using appropriate airfields and the instructor control bars, it can also be used as a safe and reliable training machine. -

Apart from the consequences of heavy landing, or of exceeding flight limitations, the major factors for attention are corrosion, fatigue and UV light. There are no inherent fatigue problem with the Quik or Quik GT450, but excessive loads and vibration can weaken the structure, and a regular watch for hair-line cracks, most likely in areas under high stress, such as around bolt holes, should be carried out. -
Page 20: Inspection And Servicing Schedules
It is essential that the following Servicing & Inspection schedules be followed. In addition, it is important that your Quik or Quik GT450 is visually inspected, assessed by an LSA Repairman with Inspection or Maintenance rating and test flown by a check pilot every 12 months. Any repairs should be carried out as outlined in Section 5 and entered in to the aircraft Technical Log. - Page 21 HANG POINT: Check hang point, and nylon Inspect Inspect collars.
