Introduce a bank and you’re setting up for a stall. Time has passed since this accident and my prayers are for his injuries to heal completely.

Density altitude I am guessing was at least 4000 ft. Two grown men... guessing near or at gross weight. Not withstanding mechanical issue where engine was not making the full power it was capable of, it sounds like just like it reads, stalled on take off due to being asked to fly before it was going fast enough. gmcjetpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12028930349052282321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060827553081940333.post-54052068740297780412021-07-02T06:02:40.974-04:002021-07-02T06:02:40.974-04:00I owned and have several hundred hours in a Q2 qui...I owned and have several hundred hours in a Q2 quickie...they are a difficult aircraft to master. Very streamlined and a high wing loading, with also high stall/landing/takeoff speed. Very tight cockpit and you're quite reclined while seated. Canard means it does not stall like a normal aircraft either, and not flaps (some like mine have spoilerons).

On a hot and high ( density altitude ) day climb rate or lack thereof may have been the culprit leading to a stall.Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754612542735454220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060827553081940333.post-75382165285866812272021-06-25T22:09:05.489-04:002021-06-25T22:09:05.489-04:00Thanks for the vid.
