Congratulation and thank you for the purchase of great product! It is our sole desire for
you to enjoy the quality workmanship and performance of any of our Nitro powered
helicopters. We believe we have the latest designs and technology incorporated into our
model helicopters. Our CNC parts are produced using the best high density materials &
anodized using material hardening finishes with the tightest of tolerances. Our new
helicopters feature the latest advances in R/C helicopter design. The simple and
mechanically superior EMS design (also known as CCPM) ensures a helicopter that will
be more responsive and more stable than any other R/C helicopter you have ever
flown. Three servos are attached directly to the Swashplate to ensure precise control.
This kit features all metal construction, and a carbon or composite frames are standard.
Along with great products, our staffs are RC guys that fly and have hands on experience
with total manufacturing & testing of our helicopters. In addition, we stand behind all our
products 100% with satisfaction guaranteed. Our kits will be shipped 100% complete
and we can assure you that once you fly your helicopter you will love it.
The QUICK 50
We believe you hold in your hands one of the best helicopters manufactured in the world
today. The Quick 50 is one of the famous versions of our Big Nitro Quick line. It is
a bigger, stronger frames, yet powerful machine. This baby delivers amazing power
smoothly throughout the entire range of its nitro motor. It functions so responsive and
stable. The Quick 50 Pro version features a fully machined head, metal
grips, dual bearing tail rotor, carbon fiber frames, carbon rudder push rod, and carbon
fiber boom supports. The Big Quick 50 Sport version features a G10
fiberglass frame, machined metal head, molded plastic grips, carbon boom supports,
carbon rudder push rod, and dual bearing tail rotor. Our helicopters are carefully
designed and tested, and manufactured of the highest quality materials available.
In a short time, you can be flying.

FEATURES
1. Frame Construction: Quick 50 frames are made of the highest Quality Black G-10
Frames or Carbon Fiber. These frames are not only rigid but will provide excellent
vibration absorption.
2. One-Way Hex Start Shaft System: The one-way bearing allows the engine to
continue to run after the starter motor has been stopped.
3. Constant Tail Rotor Drive System: The constant tail system will provide full tail
authority during engine off maneuvers.
4. Belt driven Tail: Belt Driven tail is not only a reliable way to drive a tail, but is also
very smooth and low maintenance.
5. High Quality Ball Bearings: Quick 50 offers ball bearings on all moving parts.
6. EMS Collective System: The EMS Collective design allows ease of setup with fewer
moving parts. EMS constitutes overall design simplicity and represents the future of
helicopter technology.
7. Heavy-Duty Clutch System: Based on the same design as our famous heavy-duty
clutch upgrade that fits most popular machines, this clutch will give many years of
problem free operation.
8. Control Linkages: The control linkages that are provided with the Quick Learner Kit
are high quality 2.3mm stainless steel rods and the rod ends are made of a high quality
Delrin.
9. Single Blade Axle Design: The single blade axle design is simple very responsive
system, with very consistent flight characteristics.
10. Advanced Airfoil Fly-bar Paddles: These paddles will provide the best both kind of
flight characteristics for both 3D & Sport flying. Not only do they provide smooth forward
flight, they also provide quick response upon demand.
11. Rearward facing Engine Design: This design provides quick access to the glow

PRE-ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
Warning
The radio-controlled model helicopter contained in this kit is not a toy.
Rather, it is a sophisticated piece of equipment. This product is not recommended for
use by children without adult supervision. Radio controlled models such as this are
capable of causing both property damage and/or bodily harm to both the
operator/assembler and spectators if not properly assembled and operated. Hobbies &
Helis assumes no liability for damage that could occur from the mis-assembly and/or
use/misuse of this product.
Academy of Model Aeronautics
We strongly encourage all prospective and current R/C aircraft pilots to join the
Academy of Model Aeronautics. The AMA is a non-profit organization that provides
services to model aircraft pilots. As an AMA member, you will receive a monthly
magazine entitled Model Aviation, as well as a liability insurance plan to cover against
possible accident or injury. All AMA charter aircraft clubs require individuals to hold a
current AMA sporting license prior to the operation of their model. For further information,
please contact AMA at:

Before you begin
Quick Helicopter kits are packaged with care and attention to detail. We recommend
when you are ready to begin building this model that you examine the kit carefully,
inspect the contents of each package, and read and understand these instructions
thoroughly before starting assembly. It is suggested that you purchase a parts box for
the small fasteners and hardware, or use small bowls or other containers.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
Radios:
Any radio that supports EMS/CCPM Mixing will work fine. Hobbies & Helis & its
distributors carry various lines of helicopter radios.
Note: Please consult the instruction for your Gyro for setting the overall travel
and limits to ensure proper operation and travel of Tail Pitch Slider.
Servos:
Any sport servo will offer acceptable performance. However, because servos
operate all critical functions of the helicopter, they can be the single most
important component that contributes to proper function of the helicopter. Due to
the nature of EMS collective, we suggest the use of digital servos to enhance
and ensure matched servo timing without servo interaction.
Locktite Warning (CRITICAL):
This is a general warning about the use of Locktite and its
importance. Locktite must be used anywhere that a metal
fastener i.e. (M2, M3, M4 Cap Head Bolts, Set Screws etc.) is
threaded into a metal part i.e. (Bearing Blocks, Cross-members,
etc.). Failure to use Locktite can result in loosening of critical
operating components, loss of control of the model, and can
lead to a crash.
