Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!
Nhalyn:
Hi guys !
Some news from the battlefield...
Here is a ready to fly fuse... And believe me, this box contains a full pair of wing... :-[
Well, with a little touch of glue, looks better...
Note that I've add some cross ribs Inside the ailerons and now they are perfectly torsion rigid for nothing more in weight. Perfect for high rools rates !
Right wing is now ready for sanding and covering.
DannyChapman:
That looks good. I think I may adopt your cross-bracing on the ailerons.
I have a numpty question - what do people use/favour for covering? Oracover/Profilm or Solarfilm? Is Oralight too, well, light? Do I need to treat the wood before covering or will that just add unnecessary weight?
The last wood glider I made was a Phase 6 (still going strong, fibreglassed), and before that either tissue or nylon & dope planes. I'm a bit behind the times...
Nhalyn:
Mine is covered with oracover without threatment, not neccessary.
Oralight is lighter but also more fragile.
Solarfilm is still good...
Nhalyn:
What looks likes a left wing inside ?
Fred:
Hi Danny,
Mine was covered with the cheapo hobbyking semi transparent covering. Worked well.
Otherwise, same as Nhalyn, Oracover or solar are good choices :)
