That is looking really good George!  :clap:  :clap:
Like the colour scheme  :clap:

Covering completed.





A little inside arrangement has to be done and than just impatient waiting for strong wind.

G,

Your Quark is looking good.

I am about to do my horn and will take pictures later. The horn will be 1.5mm ply and glued to the aileron spar and top sheet at the front of the aileron. I will then add block balsa either side glued to the horn, top aileron sheet and leading edge of aileron. Finally I will add the front sheeting either side of the horn.

Here is a picture that hopeully clarifies what I am doing.

Hope it helps.

Alistair

Thanks a lot Alistair, I'll do it same way!
And about the shape of wings tips?

George

Another question, the control horn on aileron is attached just to balsa 1,5mm plate or there in the place is something harder what hold the horn?
Thank you.
G

Hi George,

Really looking good!  :clap:
Yeah, I used aluminium (I use scraps of stuff I have  :wink: ), but carbone will do it fine too  

Very good build so far  :clap:  :clap:

Thanks Fred, I spend almost my every free time to build Quark, but still a lot of work in front of me

Hi George, really nice bit of workmanship, keep us posted on your build

Either carbon or alloy is good !

thank you Richard, by the way I bought tubes and rod and they match together without any problem :shock:  Anyway thanks again you offered yours :clap:
And yes I'll post my progress :wink:

Do you have some video of your Quark flying over ocean?

Lot of sawing and sanding done :!:  Now time for glue is coming  


I have a question about tubes in the fuselage. On yours it look like aluminium
tubes. Can I use carbon tube(same one as in wings) or it is necessary use aluminium?


thank you, George

Hi George, I have 10mm tube with 8mm I/D and alloy 8mm tube for the wing joiner.
I think there are 10 peices left in the workshop.
I am unsure of the exact price, but think the 10mm carbon tube cost me £8 per 1m lenght.

I appreciate your offer Richard, but I'll try to sand a little carbon rod like  Fred said. Many thanks.

Hi George,

Sorry, quick reply as it is a bit late, I'll take photos tomorrow to answer your questions.

Basically, don't worry about the holes in T1, this is only to pass your servo cables, that have no other functions.

In green, yes, don't glue! Use screws, as this will allow you to unscrew the servo tray if you need to do a bit of maintenance.

I feel your pain for the tubes / rod... My tube was 7mm inside, and had 8mm rods!  :!:  :!:  Sanding, re-drilling of the tube etc etc  :!:  :!:  :!:

I wanted to avoid sanding, but I see there is no other way  :!:
Thank you Fred

Thanks Fred and Richard for your advices and photos.

Still don't understand what for are two holes on ST1 servo tray I highlighted by red color? On second picture highlighted by green color are points for screws whitch fixed servo tray with servo cover I suppose (I thought that they are glued together, therefore my question). Because main wings are fixed by hooks  so my last question was how elevators wings are fixed to fuselage, if they only put on 3mm rods or ?

My main problem now is where to get 10mm tube and 8mm rod which will match to each other, because in local hobby markets they have only china sh.t  which don't match together :!:

But I don't give up, Quark must take the air  

Once again , thank you.

next questions Fred,
for what is this?

and I dont understand how elevators are fixed to fuselage?
They are plant into 3mm rods, and are they glued to them?


sorry for my maybe stupid questions  :oops:

Hi George,

This is exactly that. But no need to have all the stuff in the middle..
I'll take a photo of mine tonight (sorry, forgot yesterday  :oops: ).
Takes litterally 5 minutes to install

Thanks a lot Fred , I'm curious  :wink:
