Slope Soaring / Re: Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!

Successful maiden flight this afternoon from Ivinghoe Beacon! She flew straight and true with no initial trimming required. Rolls really nicely and inverted needed just a hint of down. A beautiful glider and I am looking forward to exploring her flight envelope. Thanks Fred for designing such a good build project that flies perfectly!

Hi All,

Here are a couple of pics of my Quark which I finally finished today. Foam core wings and stab and a live hinge for the ailerons. It was my first crack at cutting my own wings, vac bagging them etc and it was an enjoyable learning experience. Hoping to maiden in the next week or so weather and winds permitting. The info on the forum was very helpful, thanks to all for providing it!

I am new to this forum but have been following it for a while now, as I have become hooked on VTPR flying, having built a Le Fish last year and having a ball with it.
My next project is the Quark 2m, and I have already cut the foam wing cores and plan to eventually glass the whole thing.
My question is this: What is the modified stabiliser airfoil section number, as I would like to cut foam cores for it (I know.....the wood version is perfectly good, but I want to try anyway!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
