Slope Soaring / Re: Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!
« Last post by trasher37 on June 27, 2025, 08:46:24 AM »Hi there!
Finally, I was able to maiden my Quark at Mt Salève, France near Switzerland, with a 15-20 kmh wind. It flies awesome and easy, thank you Fred!!
Weighs approx 1400g with 5 nimh 2000 mah and 100g lead. Needs a bit more wind than my ahi, but the inertia difference is so cool!
I just need to complete the covering with a more flashy extrados.
Now waiting for the next flights, maybe Belle-ile en mer, Bretagne, France.
Bye.

Is it going to be electric or IC as the original would have been?

Nothing too fancy anyway, the original kit was supposed to be an easy one. And it was!
That one needs far more thinking. Not sure why, but looks like they over engineered some stuff! Or the manual definitely doesn’t match what’s in the kit, so there is a lot of improvisation!
Anyway, started on the wings. Glue drying, second half now on the workbench
Getting close!

All back and ready to fly again.
