way It's great to have a
competitive pylon racer
that's fun to fly,
doesn't use huge amounts
of sky, won't cause
noise complaints, and is
suitable for the average
size club field. Well, a
Quickie racer does all
that, and more! Short
Circuit was designed to
take full advantage of
the Quickie 500 rules,
which specify everything
except fuselage length;
my view was that since
the fuselage causes
considerable drag, the
less there isof it, the
better. Not only that,
the pressure wave theory
indicates that for
minimum drag, the
maximum width should be
at or near the wing
trailing edge. Hence,
the strange plan shape of
the body. The 'V' tail is
designed to project the
stabilising surfaces away
from the wing wash, and
has proven to give an
increase in speed over
the more conventional
tail layout. The model
presented here has been
developed over a period
of time, the end result
having proved itself to
be se nsationally fast,
stable in flight, and
capable of performing
amazingly tight turns
without any apparent loss
of speed. Short Circuit
set the fastest recorded
time in the 1999 Quiet
Quickie UKracing series,
and yet it flies like a
trainer with a smaller.
19 size motor.With a
modest. 40 on a 9 x 7 or
9 x 8" prop., it
speeds up like a scalded
cat, is remarkably
aerobatic (especially
with full length
ailerons) and has a good
glide, gentle glide - it
really is a versatile
little plane. Building
the model shouldn't cause
you too many problems;
however, there are a few
unusual features in the
construction, so the
notes are rather more
detailed than usual.. If
you do not have a radio
with 'V' tail mix, you
can link the elevators
together and add a rudder
to the fuselage and
sub-fin, thus
maintaining competition
legality.
