The Quail is a 1971 stubby, little single-seater with an enclosed cabin that can be powered by a variety of engines, the KAM-25 Kiekhaefer, the Volkswagen 1600, 1700 or the Franklin 2 cyl. This high-wing plane is constructed of all metal and stands on tricycle landing gear. The Quail’s wing is similar to that of the Rail, and also like the Rail its tricycle gear can be equipped with optional wheel fairings.
