  • Despite its unusual "egg with wings" appearance, it is popular among homebuilders for its exceptional performance and relatively forgiving flight characteristics.
  • Its all-aluminum airframe kit is designed to ease construction with pre-provided compound curve components, requiring approximately 2,000 hours to build.

The Spirit is actually the second of two extremely fast aircraft from Questair. The Spirit is a toned-down fixed-gear version of the record-setting Venture design. The Spirit’s unusually stubby design is very reminiscent of an egg with wings. Nonetheless, the Spirit and the Venture are very popular with kit builders primarily for their exceptional performance and relatively forgiving flight characteristics. The airframe structure is all-aluminum with all of the compound curve components provided in the kit to ease the building process. Approximate building time is 2,000 hours.
