“This sixth version of the Quik-V series incorporates everything I've learned through 30+ years of designing pylon airplanes. It takes advantage of modern tools like CAD, laser cutting and computer airfoil analysis programs. The end result is a plane that came out winning races right off the board, including the 2014 AMA NATS. And now, this winner is available as an ARF to get you in the air and racing FAST!” — Jim Allen, Team Futaba Pilot

Internal V-tail linkages reduce drag and increase speed.

A balsa sheeted foam core wing with carbon fibre and fiberglass reinforcement combine with traditional wood fuselage and tail surfaces to provide race-proven strength and light weight.

The included aluminium back plate accepts virtually any .40-.55 engine, for clean, easy installations.

The Quik-V6 Q500 is equipped with ultra-durable, low-drag wheels. This is the Radio Controlled, Glow Powered, Almost Ready to Fly
