Need instructions for Q-Tee
 

I found a q-tee kit in my attic. I got it from my grandpa years ago. There isn't any instructions in the kit. I just have the wood, the plans and a cox black widow engine. anyone know where to get some instructions.

If I can remember back that far, all the info was on the the plans. We didn't need no stinkin instructions. Wax paper over the plans, plenty of Ambroid glue, close the doors / seal the windows and have fun.

Woops; sorry Mudgett, that was the 70's, we're not allowed to do that anymore. Bad for the brain cells.

Just check and see if all you need to know isn't on the plans like the cg and location of battery and radio gear. The Q-Tee was so simple with no tricky set-up.

Yep... there was no instruction "book" in the box. They kind of expected a modeler ready for that airplane to know how to build it. this was from a time when modelers practically all went through the stages of flying FF rubber, C/L then RC and by the time you got to RC you had built 20 to 200 airplanes.

Q-tees were a lot of fun. There were pilots who used them for pylon racing. What a ball. The original Q-tee was what it was because you could build it all out of stock 36" wood. I had two with extended tank .049 Cox engines. Flew good but I missed the throttle so I blew it up to
1.5, 54" span and put in a .15 engine. Real fine airplane. A flying buddy said it was the best airplane he ever flew so I gave it to him. When it went to the great hangar in the sky he returned the radio and engine to me. I now have a 54" Q-tee with barn door ailerons and an
OS.20 FP. A very nice airplane. Build the thing. It's so simple the plans are self explanatory.
You will have so much fun you will want more than one. Don't forget the extended tank for the Cox. They are available from Hobby Lobby. You can also use much lighter electronics that are available now instead of the standard size we used in the old days. Now that I'm thinking of it I may have to build a couple more.

I will give it a go and let you know the results. Thanks for your help!!

As I recall, it had machine cut parts. I built two of them. Lots of fun and easy to build.
