In July 2001 Composite Creations was contacted by Peter Harris, a Quickie pilot who had an unfortunate 'engine out', resulting in substantial damage to his wings. Peter was unable to source new wing spars from the usual supplier. After a quick discussion we were sent a broken portion of the original spar as a sample to copy.

Upon examination it was decided rather than copy the spars we would substantially improve them. A meeting was organised between Ian Duncan and Peter Tenhave, of Macquarie University Mech. Engineering. at which time a new laminate was agreed upon.

The now all carbon wing spars are produce using pre-impregnated fibres, hand laid on a spun tapered aluminium mandrel, tape consolidated and oven cured at 120 degrees Celsius. They have an improved torsional and hoop strength and a Tg. of approx 130 degrees C.

Spar ends are partially filled with expanded epoxy foam to further increase hoop strength.

Spars are now sold upon request to members of the Quickie Association via Peter Harris
