Nothing done, only managed to cut out the ailerons! Too much work with 12h+ days at the moment! :!:

Hi Fred
Started the Quark 2m, and so far may I say that this is a great model to build and quick to stick together. I have had no problems yet with the plan except I had to put extra ply at the fuselage joints for strength, this was due to the cnc cutter, I think. I like the new tail design, which saves a lot of time during the building process.
All parts cut out and checked against the plans.
All the formers, lined up perfect except C5, however a little triming and everything was fine.
Checking the formers before adding the other fuselage side.
The two sides of the fuselage are now added and supported with rubber bands before any glue is applied. As I said, this is a great model to build, all this done in less than 2 hours WoW!
Less than 2 hours work, i am starting to like this build already!
Next I need to add the top and bottom sheeting and start on shaping the nose, keep you all updated soon!
Happy Days:
Hmmm, it certainly looks like an nice easy build. Well, so far anyway. (Didn’t know you wore spectacles JP, could it be that you’re getting old!!! :roll: )
With all this building activity on the forum I’m beginning to feel a bit ‘left out’. :(
I might have to buy something new to play with :?: ………………maybe a 2mtr Quark. 8)

Another bit done tonight on the Quark2m,
All formers glued and the bottom sheeting applied.
The next step was to mount the bell crank for the elevator, I had no 4mm tubing at hand therefore I used some metal rods with a plastic cover which I had spare, It proved to be perfect and the system work well.
I used a push rod to connect to the bell crank, an old way to connect control surfaces.
I decided at this stage to build the elevators, again a simple process due to a good design.
The elevators can be removed for transport.
A quick check to see if all is o.k., yes works perfect!
I finished the top sheeting and give the fuselage a good sanding down and removed all the rought edges. Next I will build the cover and add the nose than sand the edges round and smooth.
Build so far, looking good I think :?: :?:
Thats it for now, can't do any more tonight, I have run out of glue :oops: time to call Richard :lol: :lol:
billscottni:
Looking very good John. Be interesting to see how it flies compared to the 2m EPP version.
Imagine running out of glue! :shock:
What are you going to sniff tonight? :?:
