Two wings and independent trim

The manual places elevators on the forward wing and ailerons on the rear. Separate elevator and aileron trim controls accompany the reflexor, which raises the rear ailerons by shifting their neutral position. The control therefore differs from a conventional flap lever.

Fuel and cockpit equipment

Lionheart describes a 5 US gal header tank feeding the engine and a 15 US gal tank under the seats. An electric pump transfers fuel to the header tank. Its simulator cockpit includes GNS navigation equipment and a basic autopilot for flight assistance.

Product description and feature list

Quickie Q200

The Quickie Q200 uses two lifting wings arranged in tandem. Its elevators are on the forward wing and its ailerons on the rear wing. The reflexor changes the rear ailerons' neutral position, giving the pilot a control distinct from conventional wing flaps.

Lionheart's rendition has independent elevator and aileron trims. The developer describes a two-seat fiberglass and Kevlar homebuilt with a 100 hp Continental O-200, alongside simulator navigation and autopilot equipment.
