Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!
JohnPearson:
Hi Guys
Sorry, for not answering your questions, I have had a busy few days, between weddings, work and going to see Lee Evans in concert. So!!! I did a little work tonight on the wings of the Quark 2m, one side completed.
I went with the 10mm carbon option on the main spar and used the 10mm aluminum on the back( the model shop had only 2x 10mm tubes instock.
A little glue and all the spars are in place
The wings do take time to build, however you must be careful to get everything straight and level for maximum performance in flight.
Starting to sheet the wings in light balsa
Oneside of the wings finished
Not much done tonight but I should get more build time tomorrow and maybe get the wings finished.
Andrew the fuselages, build by a professional glassfibre company.
Cheers for now!
JohnPearson:
Hi all, well I managed to get the wing finished today and sanded, already started the next wing, so will try to get this finished for Tuesday evening, then we can get covering and install the servos and control rods. The wing has taken slightly longer than I expected, however with the design used it is both light and strong!
Port wing finished and ready to cover with solarfilm 'colour ????' :?:
I think Fred is ready to go for a test flight, so I will have to get my finger out and get moving.
Happy landings
JohnP

That's a BIG aileron :shock:
Should roll at some rate.
Looking good John. You & Andrew are coming on well. Mr Richard has been surprisingly quiet :?:
Fred:
Good work as usual Mr P! :clap: :clap:
Building part of mine is done. Starting the finishing stage now :D
Weighted it at this stage (never weight my gliders, but I know the question is going to pop at some stage!), and it came down at 900grs.
Only the covering and electronic to go, so that is going to be a relatively light glider, all without trying to save weight, so it can even be made lighter for all the grams chasers!
JohnPearson:
Looks good Fred, not sure about the weight at this stage of the build, you could make this model very light if you wanted to, however I like a balance between weight and strengh, due to the landing zones on the slopes I fly off! no short grassed rolling hills here! :lol:
