Introduction

Quick Worldwide & Hobbies & Helis International:

Quick of Japan and Hobbies & Helis International teamed up in 1997 to manufacture various upgrades for many of the plastic helicopters on the market. After four years of distributing numerous upgrades and crash parts for other helicopters, Quick and HHI decided to develop a lin of their own. Starting with the Quick 60, 30 and Quick Learner, the popularity of the Quick helicopter line continued to grow. In 2003, Quick and HHI pushed the outside of the envelope when they released a radical new design in the Quick 50, which immediately became a tremendous success.

Now, using the same design concepts used

Building on the popularity of this, and severAs the development of the kit began, initial designs were approved, proto-types were created and flown - all to ensure that the design was flawless. No minor details were over-looked. After countless hours of hard work and dedication, Quick-World-Wide is proud to release the first in a new standard in Helicopters - the Quick Learner.

Warning:

The radio-controlled model helicopter contained in this kit is not a toy. Rather, it is a sophisticated piece of equipment. This Product is not recommended for use by children, without adult supervision. Radio controlled models such as this, are capable of causing both property damage and/or bodily harm to both the operator/assembler and/or spectator if not properly assembled and operated. Hobbies & Helis assumes no liability for damage that could occur from the assembly and/or use/misuse of this product.

AMA:

We strongly encourage all prospective and current R/C aircraft pilots to join the Academy of Model Aeronautics. The AMA is a non-profit organization that provides services to model aircraft pilots. As an AMA member, you will receive a monthly magazine entitled Model Aviation, as well as a liability insurance plan to cover against possible accident or injury. All AMA charter aircraft clubs require individuals to hold a current AMA sporting license prior to the operation of their model.

Pre-Assembly Information:

Quick Helicopters are put together with care and quality topping our priority list. A recommendation when you are ready to begin building this model is that you examine the kit and understand the contents of the packages and read thoroughly before starting the assembly process. Purchase a parts box for all the nuts, bolts, and other small parts. We take great care to ensure all parts are in the box.

Radio Requirements

Radios:

Hobbies & Helis & its distributors carry various lines of helicopter radios. Any radio that supports EMS/CCPM Mixing will work fine. We recommend using an eight-channel or better radio, although a six-channel radio is all that is required.

Servos:

This is the single most important function of the helicopter. Any sport servo will offer acceptable performance. You should be sure to use all the same type of servo on the swash plate. Higher speed servo is recommended for tail, but not required.

Introduction:

Please read through the entire manual before starting your construction of the Quickie. If there are any questions or concerns regarding the assembly of the helicopter you can call Hobbies & Helis International (610)-282-4811 or Email the any of the following techs.

Threadlocker Warning (Very Important):

This is a general warning about the use of threadlocker and its importance. Threadlocker must be used anywhere that a metal fastener i.e. (M2, M3, M4 Cap Head Bolts, Set Screws etc.) are threaded into a metal part i.e. (Bearing Blocks, Cross-members, etc.). The failure to use threadlocker can result in parts falling a part and possible loss of control of the model, which can lead to a crash. Also, be sure to check your bolts’ tightness after each flight. Many bolts, even with the use of threadlocker can come loose from vibration in the helicopter.

Section 1 – Frame Assembly

Parts List

Frame Set Bag

Main Frames X 2 Rear Sub-frame x 2 Landing gear x 2

Bag 1

Main-shaft Bearing Block X 2 Canopy Standoffs x 4 Motor Mount x 1 Frame Rails x 2 26mm Landing Gear Standoffs x 4 Antirotation Base x 1

Assemble the main frames as shown in Figure 1. Open part is the bearing block opening that the bearing was inserted into. Describe which is up or down, a sticker or indent or mark to designate the top part of the bearing block. You may not need the washers that HHI sells as you want to keep the weight down

Assemble the main frames as shown in the picture. Attach the canopy standoffs using (4) M3x6 cap head screws. The bearing blocks will be inserted as follows; the upper block will have the open part facing up, and the lower bearing block will have the open face down. Each of the bearing blocks are attached with (4) M3x6 cap head screws.

Loosely install the motor mount. This item will be coming out again when you install your motor, so only put this mount in loosely. Install the motor mount (4) M3x6 cap head screw and (4) M3 washers

Next, install the frame rails. The flat part of the frame rail is oriented on top. The slotted sides go against the frames. Install the two 46mm cross members into the frame. The frame rails go on the inside of the frames. Next put an M3x20 set screw into each of the cross member ends. There should be a bit still protruding.

Then attach a 26mm Landing gear standoff onto each of the M3x20 set screws. Attach the landing gear using (4) M3x6 cap head screws.

Note that if you have problems getting the standoff to screw down entirely, remove it and use a hex head driver to drive the screw into the standoff, as there might be a little excess material.
