Gliders > Slope Soaring
Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!
JohnPearson:
Hi Fred
CofG is just in front of the front wing joiner, I will measure the distance and post it. I balanced the model with a very slight nose down for the maiden, and in flight I just added one or two clicks of up trim when I was happy with the flight performance, very little adjustment was required, she flew as they say straight off the plan. Today I think the wind speed was about 15mph gusting to 19mph at times, however the slope was the south facing slope, which produces poor lift compared with the other slopes around the mountain.
The Quark has a good speed range, I hovered it straight into wind, then I tried some high speed passes across the slope face, 'she is fast' a quick turn into wind and back to the hover, great stuff.
Fred:
Sweet! :D
Thanks again for that John :clap:

Thank you ! Thank you Monsieur Fred , I have fallen in love with your Quark.
Words can't explain the feeling this plane gives me.
It has it all !!!!!!!!! lovely, strong, perfectly formed, thrilling ,sexy , may I say it ! F__ken awesome glider.
Every maneuver is percise and so so simple to achieve, it holds four point rolls for ever ! in the knife edge quarters, this is an F3A style plane/glider that is made of high quality wood !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Snap rolls are sublime it exits them with speed and precision.
Keith my old cock, get a Quark :clap:
The rudder looks quite large but this does not kick the glider out of maneuvers, I just love this plane so much.
I have a Le Fish and it is in no way as much fun as JP'S Quark, I would go further to say I wish I had of had my hands on a Quark before buying a Vector. The Quarjk is an alround better plane with no vices that I can detect.
For the novice pilot that wants a plane to learn aerobatics there is no better plane, in my eyes. or a good aerobatic pilot there aint no better, unless you join the expensive crew that pay over the odds for mouldies, then get someone to install there radio gear and set up their radios for them :roll:
Fred you have designed and produced one brilliant plane
Roll on the big winds to get her down low and dirty !!!!!!!!
