AeroSports Update: Questair Opens Manufacturing Facility In Mississippi

The New Questair, LLC Is Planning To Produce A Fast-Build Versions Of Its Venture Airplane Kits

Dan Myers and Jim Cook, partners in the newly formed Questair, LLC, have acquired tooling, parts, supplies and the engineering software to become the exclusive manufacturer of the Venture Kit-Built Airplane.

Questair plans to create fast-build kits for sale to individuals who wish to build their own high-performance Venture airplane. The company will also support the more than 100 known Venture kit and plane owners with components, parts and technical support.

Homebuilt kits typically provide the owner with all needed supplies including forms, materials and drawings to complete an airplane. Owners provide their own engine, paint and instrument panels. "Today, after one acquires a kit, it can take on average as long as four years to get to flight-ready” says Mr. Myers, "but our goal is to create a fast-build kit that reduces that time to 12 months. We are excited about that possibility and believe that there are aspiring Venture owners who feel the same.”

Mr. Cook says “We are passionate about this airplane and are excited to carry on its legacy that began when it was initially launched at Oshkosh in 1987. To continue the work of Venture creators Ed MacDonough and Jim Griswold, both well-respected in aviation, makes our mission all the more worthy”.

The Questair Venture is a two place, low wing, all metal monoplane licensed under the FAA amateur built experimental category. Its cruise speed at 12,000 feet is 240 KTAS and it has a range of about 1,000 miles (IFR range 800 miles). More information can be found on the company website.
