Kwik Fli II (oz7483)
About this Plan
Kwik Fli 2. Radio control pattern model.
Quote: "Phil Kraft's KWIK-FLY II - The Country's Hottest Class III Design.
The Kwik-Fly II, although basically the same design as the original Kwik-Fli (oz6526) which appeared in the October 1964 issue of R/C Modeler, was reduced in size to approximately 640 square inches of area in order to allow the ship to fly the contest pattern with the smaller engines, such as the Veco .45. To date, the Kwik-Fli II has won or placed in the top three positions in every contest in which it has been entered, including a recent victory at the Southwestern Regionals. Although it is no faster than its larger predecessor, it is a far better contest machine, and shows its true colors in gusty or windy weather.
Construction of the Kwik-Fli II is quite simple and very little time is required to complete it. Since the construction is very similar to the original version, no construction details will be given - simply refer to the October issue in which the original design appeared. One item of interest - this ship, although designed for the smaller mills, has been flown with a Lee .51, Super Tigre .60, and Merco .61. Any of these engines will more than do the job.
We think you'll find the Kwik-Fli II the hottest competition machine you've ever flown."

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

I was inspired to scratch build this model [main pic, 006, 007] after seeing Giuseppe (Beppe) Fascione's museum quality reproduction for the AMA museum, built precisely with original techniques and materials that were used in Phil Kraft's original. For me, not so much... mine is covered with Monokote and electric powered, but I don't have a shop and must build in my small den so I finish builds rather quickly for minimal disturbance to domestic tranquility! This is a great flying model that actually does a very decent knife-edge, point roll and slow rolls as well. Flies great on a 5S lipo battery and 900 watt motor, 11x8.5 propeller.Bob Moulder - 16/05/2023
I finally worked up the nerve to let someone fly my KF ll while I made some photos. This one might make a good addition to your KF database [pic 008]. Thanks,

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.
