Gliders > Slope Soaring
today
andrew wallace:
six of us went out to the slope today to blow the cobwebs away
wind was west south west and blowing 16mph gusting to 30mph
andrew wallace:
had a good few flights with the quark today and it's SOME glider i would say the bullet will be gathering dust this year
i bought a multi-fun glider at the end of the summer before i got the quark and i have to say the quark wins hands down :clap:
conditions were tricky today cause the wind had a bit of south in it and the lift was coming and going but the wee quark flew a blinder and even in winds up to 30mph :clap:
we're over looking Magilligan here and you can see how much water is laying on the land :( it's been like this now for months :(

Andy,
That Quark is a pretty sweet looking plane, Nice job. My two older brothers got this sail plane for me about 5 years ago, A Canterbury Sailplanes F-20, I'm not a foam builder(yet), when I opened it up, there were a lot of parts missing so I shoved it under the bench and left it. About a year ago my brother Wayne asked me if I was going to build it, I told him probably not as I didn't feel like trying to track down the parts. He said he'd like to build it for me, I didn't argue :D . It took him a while, but this is what he presented me with. It weighs in at 1800 grams and flies beautifully in 25+mph winds, like it's on a rail. The day I test flew, it was blowing about 43mph. what a blast!!! Freedom Flyer
Freedom Flyer:
It might help if I actually post the pictures huh? Freedom Flyer

Nice model Tracy. I remember reading a review about it years ago. I wonder if they are still available.
