Specification

Designed in 1975 and intended as a low-cost, low powered single seat homebuilt aircraft. The Quickie, designed by Sheehan, Jewett and the legendary Burt Rutan, features an unusual wing arrangement with a large canard and wingtip mounted main wheels followed by a similarly sized aft wing.

​

Ultimately 1000 kits were sold by the Quickie Aircraft Corporation before it closed its door,s though the plans are still available to buy today and the aircraft has achieved a cult following.

​

​

For our 3D printed model plane version of this unusual aircraft we recommend a print bed size of 200mm/200mm/240mm (210z is available on request)
