Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!

<< < (6/113) > >>

Fred:
Very good John!  :clap:  :clap:
Really lokks like this is coming along nicely!  :clap:

By the way, for the rudder, you think the one on the plan is better, or the one you have? (to me, the one on the plan, looks more "rigid" if you see what I mean)
I agree with the cutting, asked them to do a quick job for prototyping, and looks like that's what they did!  :!:
Remember that the plan you have, if the final one  :D
The hard bit, are the wings now! Have fun, and go get some glue! (Mr Harry Potter's glasses!  :P )

andrew wallace:
ha john i'd need to get my finger out or you'll be in the air before me  :lol:

must say the kit goes together rather well :clap:  :clap:

A little more done tonight, between brushing out the workshop of all the water which has ran down from the patio straight in front of the workshop door, handy if I was a marine modeller :lol: . So finished sheeting the front hatch, and added the nose which needs to be sanded to shape.




Fuselage ready for an over all sanding to shape.

The tail I have is the prototype and Fred has changed this on the plans, However I just used a few strips of hard balsa along the edges of the rudder and fin to make them more rigid see below:



Tail with added strips for strengh



How the tail looks when added to the fuselage.

So that's about it for now, not a lot done tonight, however I am still making good progress with the the Quark 2m and by the way my glasses are an old pair which I keep in the workshop, and yes Fred, they do look like Harry Potter's :oops:  :oops:



Cheers for now from Harry Potter!!

It’s statements like this that throw me completely off.

When you say you’ve “added some strips of hard balsa along the edges” do you mean;

a) that you have stuck some kind of balsa veneer strips onto the original edges of the rudder & vertical fin? (I’ve never heard of such veneer strips,…but that doesn’t mean such things don’t exist of course.)

Or
b) That you’ve stuck some balsa of the same thickness to the edges of the rudder/fin? (Thereby increasing the surface area of the rudder/fin in the process. Which is what the pictures look like to me.)

This probably sounds a daft question to all you experienced guys, but to a Numpty like me :roll:

K.
