Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!
alibodin:
Patiently waiting for kit to be available.
Is there a list of parts required to complete the kit?

Hi Alistair, this is what I roughly required to finish my short kit of the Quark 2m
3off 10mmo/d,8mm i/d carbon tubing wing
1off 8mm o/d carbon or alloy tube for wing joiner(needs to be snug fit with the above)
1off 4mmo/dx 3mm i/d tube for elevator
1off 3mm solid carbon for elevator joiner
Closed loop wire for rudder aprox 2.5m should be enough, plus use loop adjusters for fine tuning.
Elevator push rod, I used balsa square with light fiber glass to make ridjet and piano wire z bends to servo.
Control horns x 4 good quality
Servos, any good standard servo for elevator+ rudder (6v servos is good)
for wing servo you are restricted to slimmer servo , 14mm deep servo should be snug fit as far as I remember.
2 x 700mm servo extension leads for aileron servos
The rest is just general items like covering etc. and radio gear of your choice.

Thank you very much for the information.
I will be building mine with balsa ribs too (only the 3 inner ribs will be plywood for more strenght around the wing joiner area).I can't wait building with balsa again, thats what i really missed when flying and repairing molded models....
And now i'm off to the hobby shop! :D

Hi Miki,
No problem at all, and don't hesitate if you have any questions! :D
And most important, have fun with the build! You'll see, it is quick and easy to build :D

Hi again,
i already started the fuse - build is really simple compared to some other projects i built. The only thing i was thinking about was top and bottom sheeting of the fuse and balsa grain direction. Will the construction be more rigid with cross or straight grain balsa? In the curved front sections cross grain would also be much easier to bend...
