About this Plan
Quick 60 (Quick sixty). Control line speed model.
Quote: "For the new McCoy .60, this job is from as family of winners. The .29 version took the last Nationals. Easy, fast to build, very sturdy, steady.
The Quick Sixty is a slick speed ship that lives up to the name. It is quick to build and fast to fly. The original airplane of this current design was built in three nights. This includes mounting the engine in the metal pan and curling the spinner down to the correct sze.
The quicky design is the product of a process of elimination of time consuming construction anxi the incorporation of new quick construction ideas, the resuir being that even the slowest builder is able to have all classes of Speed ships, from the small Half-A to the large C ships. This design is named for the type of construction and not the finished profile, as in almost all cases up to now, the finished ships, built by different people, have had her own individual characteristics. Usually, the cowl shape and rudder outlines have been changed; in some cases, the wing span and area have also been altered to fit the individual's own aeronautical design or fancy.
The Class B that I won the Nationals with was the first in this line. It has been a very consistent and rugged performer. The only structural failure in two years of contest flying has been a broken elevator. On one occasion a tie-down came loose on the Quicky '29, and the ship went into the ground doing over 125 mph. The result of the mishap was a broken spinner (B & D) and the elevator hinges pulled loose.
The speed on the Quicky '29 has never dropped below 124 mph on any flight. Top speed to date is 130.5 mph and the winning flight at the '53 Nationals was 129.44 mph..."

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
