Richard,
My Q-Bird was a Tri gear model so I didn't have the challanges of handling
on the ground. Some guys said "it was cheating" but it was a puppy on the
ground. In the air it was a pure "hands on airplane". Very responsive with a
rather high landing speed. I know of several fatalities in the planes. They
all seem to be in the test flight phase or in the first 20 hrs. of a new
owner.

These planes don't really stall, they just kinda porpoise. When the canard
stalls the rear wing is still flying so the nose drops and canard starts
flying again. It will do this over and over.

I'm convinced that after spending 570hrs in a Q I'm a better pilot.

Steve,
How does the Q-200 fly?
Have you ever written up the handling characteristics?
