Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!

Hi Fred,
Thanks for the compliments on the colour scheme. It came about because I was using up lots of odds and ends from my covering box. I haven't done more than repair existing coverings for the last ten years so I was pleased with the result! It can certainly be seen.
As to flying inverted, I still need about a half stick of down elevator to maintain level flight. I will try again in lighter wind conditions and may shift the CG back again.

Fred:
Hi Martin,
The scheme does look nice, and done with leftovers on top of that! :clap:
Half a stick... Hummm, Is the elevator with the f"flat" profile, or the "proper" profile one? :?:
heli_bee:
Fred,
The elevator is the proper profile one - CNC cut.

heli_bee:
Fred,
With the benefit of hindsight, the actual amount of down elevator movement to maintain altitude when inverted is not that much, when you think about it.
I am currently using 60% exponential as per the plan!
Martin.
Fred:
Hi Martin,
AAahhhh OK, 60% expo on the elevator!
Sorry, I think I made a mistake (never updated the values!) but on the article, I said I totally removed the expo on the elevator :oops:
Much sharper response, but you can start by reducing it to 30%
I double check my plan! :oops:
