Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!
Richard Boyd:
Finally I have my 2m proto type Quark kit ready for her maiden.
Venue for her first flight will be Mt Leinster.
Sorry for no fotos, I am superstitiious :?:
I have the car packed and just finishing of charging batteries and then I will meet up with JP in Armagh for our journey to Mt. Leinster.
Hope to see you all soon, well 5 hrs time.

So how did the maiden of the Quark go then?

Richard Boyd:
Hi Alastair, I have just returned from my trip to Mt. Leinster and the highlight of my flights was the Quark maiden, 2 seconds into the flight I was inverted and rolling :lol:
The big throws on the all moving elevator made for some extreme maneouvers yet on small movements it is sleek and very precise.. The Quark has everything I would ever want in an aerobatic glider. With ease it will perform the most demanding maneouvers and still retain air speed after exiting the maneouver. This is what makes the Quark head and shoulders above any other wooden aerobatic plane on the market that I have flown.
I think Quark has everything I need and accord to it producer the Quark with all the updates will be in production with in the next few weeks.
I have ordered another one and will gladly pay my hard earned cash for a great flying plane.
I am hoping Fred will post a few fotos of it flying, as I never took any fotos of it because of Friday the 13th.
