Quickheads

As you can probably tell, I have been a Quickie enthusiast since I was a little kid, but since that time Quickie Aircraft Corporation has gone out of business and original kits and parts are getting harder to find.  To make matters worse, there are lots of sellers on eBay and similar sites that are selling copies of the plans on CD that they downloaded for free from the internet!

If you've bought one of these sets of plans (or downloaded the free version) you'll notice that there is often a lot of information, and sometimes even entire chapters missing!  In addition, these bargain basement copies have photos that look like they were a fifth generation Xerox copy.

Well, I was frustrated by these copies myself, and decided to, once again, put my design skills to good use. I finally managed, after several years of trying, to locate an original set of Single Seat Quickie Plans.  I have combined this complete original paper set of plans with known online sources to bring you THE most complete set of Quickie plans that you could ever hope to buy. I scanned every single page at 400 DPI with different levels of contrast. (One level for photos, and one for text.)

Next I combined the two files so that the images and the text were crystal clear. In addition, I cleaned up all the pencil markings made by the original builder, and removed the blemishes, dirt, and holes digitally. (Since all of the pages are scans of the original documents printed by QAC ALL of the pictures are perfectly legible.)

On June 4th, 2009 I completely updated the PDF file to make it easier for you to navigate.  Instead of keeping all of the chapters in separate files, I combined all of the chapters into a single file.  Next, I created a digital Table of Contents.  Now you can click on the heading and description of the page and be taken there instantly.

Once payment is made, you'll be able to instantly download all 20 Chapters of the plans, plus the extras, in a single ZIP file. (No waiting for a dissapointing CD to arrive in the mail!) You can print the PDF's full size at 11x17" or follow along on your computer.

Customer Reviews:

Since I saw this incredible airplane the first time I've spent alot of time on the internet to find informations and a set of complete Quickie plans -
I've failed until now. rnDan's plans is THE most complete plan of the Quickie, so if you are planning to build your own Quickie, as I am, buy this
product now!

I have scoured the internet, Yahoo and other forums and purchased Quickie plans from ebay too, and Dan's are the best, no question. If you're
contemplating building a Quickie, or just want to learn more about this incredible airplane, this is the place to start. rnDon't waste your time
looking anywhere else. Awesome job!rn

I have purchased plans off of ebay and downloaded free plans off the internet prior to purchasing Dan's set of plans, and his are, by far, more clear
and complete than any set I have had to date. I am completely happy with what I got and with the price I paid. Planning and material acquisition has
already begun for construction of my first Quickie and its very exciting.
