“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
