This small aircraft was built by Dave Reed of Gander while he was teaching an Aircraft Maintenance course at the Central Newfoundland Regional College. Reed constructed the "Quickie" over a three year period from plans designed by Burt Rutan of California. After construction was completed in 1983, he logged a total of seven hours flying time in the plane. When flying the craft the pilot was required to be in an almost lying-down position, which served to make the smooth flight even more enjoyable. Storage of the plane proved to be a problem, so Reed decided to donate it to the North Atlantic Aviation Museum for display.
