Well my Micro Quark is finished. Just need to check the TX is set up correctly, add a little weight for forward COG for maiden flight. Mine did not need any lead to balance as per plan. Weighed in at 368g, or in old money 13oz.



Now need some good weather for a maiden.

Well I it was a nice evening a 9mph Northerly wind so a quick trip to the local slope and I maidened the mini quark and landed her safely if a little fast! Needed a few clicks of up! Had 4 flights in total taking a little of the extra lead out each flight. So on last flight all the extra lead had gone and COG was as per plan. I think it can go back a bit but no more lead to take out! Had the rates set to minimal movement and she was fine.

Once I get more confident I can reduce the rates (I have 4 positions). I will also mix some up in when I raise the spoileroms to help landings.

She was very agile and gets blown around in gusts.

Overall really pleased with the model great fun.

Fred:
