Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!
Fred:
Hi Ezratic,
Welcome to the forum!! :)
Good start on the Quark, and hopefully, you will enjoy the flying even more!!
If you haven't seen it yet, you can download PicaSim, and test the Quark (it is an honor to have the Q2M in this Sim!!), but please, keep us posted of your progress :)
Ezratic:
Hi Fred,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Looking forward to getting this bird in the air.
Scratch building from plans is no joke, lots of details so hopefully it wont take an eternity.
I'm cracking away at it.
Just noticed the Lunak 2M. Is that also your design? Looks like the wing spar system has been changed a bit,to make it lighter,
stronger, or easier to build?
Cheers
Fred:
Hi Ezratic,
Indeed, the Lunak 2M is mine :) Same idea as the micro quark/Micro Lunak. They share the same wing, just the fuselage is different :)
Spars are 10x5mm wood. Cheaper, and easier to find (at least here!) than carbon tubes. Not sure about the weight I have to say, never really weight my gliders, but that should be around the same ish.
The Lunak wing is also designed with added flaps in mind from the get go, as some people were adding them on the Quark too, and seems to help the landing on tight spaces :)
Ezratic:
Progress is being made, started assembling first aileron, one step at a time, its pulling at me... :)
Ezratic:
Lots of things getting in the way but still working on it. Been getting in some flying, working on other planes, etc.
Got the ailerons done, cutting out some ribs still and currently getting the sides of the fuse finished. Took 2 months for some of the wood to come from my supplier, they had to find some trees to cut down :)
Got all the carbon, just got to get cracking and pull my fingers out.
