Happy Days:
Well done John, :clap:  and it's nice to see a couple of young “pilots-to-be.” Did you make them out of foam & paper as well?

But I have a question John:

How are you going to stop the two wing halves from coming away from the fuse when in flight :?:  

From your pictures I haven’t seen any method of holding the wings to the fuse.

Hi Keith,
          The wings are held by short pieces of silicon tube on a forward wing pin. It's a bit tricky to assemble but hopefully will do the job. On my plouf I put thin strips of masking tape on the wing joiner rod and these hold ok with friction and dont wreck the fuse on hard landing. I will only use the silicon tube if the wings loosen up as they are holding firmly at present with friction alone.
John.

 

Fred:
Hey John,

Your Quark is really looking good!  :clap:  :clap:

johnfireball:
Hi all,
There maybe a weather break tomorrow so might get first hopefully not last flight in before the new year, anyway batteries are being charged.
John.

Fred:
Hey John,

Do you know around what time you are going to fly?
Can come, but have to leave relatively early in the afternoon.
