Quickee (or Q) 500 is run to CPPRA rules in Calgary. These are similar to the AMA 424 Sport Quickee rules, with the main difference being that the Webra 40 with Nelson mini pipe is the primarily used motor/muffler option. A complete set of the CPPRA Q500 rules can be found here.

The original aim of the Quickee class was to restrict model design to the simplest possible shape so that beginners could easily build their own models and compete on equal terms on the basis of flying ability. The airframes consist of constant chord, constant thickness wings on a square box fuselage. Whilst certainly not pretty, these models are functional and provide close, exciting racing.
