Screwing this topic out of old Irish mountains !
I consider building a Quark from the short kit in September or so. I start to review all thing as the kit is on order...
One thing I have to statute before starting the wings : 2 ailerons or quadro-flaps ?
I've seen in this old topics that the discussion have been started long ago and was even the first question. I've not (yet) read everything but have you all arrived to a statement about it ? I try to have an estimation of how many quark are "quadros"...
What are plus and minus ?
Quadro plus :
* butterfly airbrakes
* fine tuned flaps curvature for flight conditions
* less flap throw than ailerons for less adverse yawQuadro minus:
* complicated (4 servos, 4 links, Tx program)
* heavier
Best regards and happy flights !

Howdy Jean-Mi,
Ok, so, to answer quickly the question. I am only aware of 2 or 3 Quarks with Quadro (out of maybe 200+ built).
I understand the move to put Quadros, but, in this case, does that really add more to the flying? I would not be too sure.
I have to say, I never flew a Quark with Quadros, but let's say that when flying mine, I never felt the need to have "more stuff" added to it. So are the few people I talked to who are flying a Quark.
Landing? Never had any mix. Front of the wind, pull elevator, control the descent with the ailerons, done :)
Camber? The SB96-96VS combination is very well known. I flew thermals with the Quark, so as in big winds. Without changing anything to the wing platform. In my view, pick a good profile, polyvalent, and you are sorted. It will never be 100% in all conditions, but let's say, in my opinion, compared to fully symmetrical profiles, you cannot compare the ease of flying. Much more important to me than fiddling with switches :) Launch, fly.
Adverse yaw, I have to say I haven't noticed or remember :(
Anyway, this is my view. Keep it simple, but totally opened to debate :)
