Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!

[Haoyang Wang]

Hi! I am thinking about covering the front part of the fuselage in fiberglass.

Is this a good idea, or just adding weight unnecessarily?

How do you wrap around the nose? (Cut the fiberglass cloth into how many pieces, etc.) Or just cover the bottom part, and don't worry about the top of the nose?

Thank you,
Haoyang

Don't fix it if it ain't broken. Model flies well. Does not need reinforcement.  Many built and flown without mods.

Good luck

Well, I am not worrying about flying, but landing...

In any case, I think you are right. The front feel quite solid already without covering. Just Oracover, then. (All the compound curves...  )

Thank you for the suggestions.

Finally got to fly to yesterday and today. It works! Yay!

Looks great. Hope you love it like we all do.

It flies great, all 1140 grams of it.

Before the flight I was worrying about the weight, but it was able to float in the same light lifts alongside Ahis, while penetrating better when it started to blow. Tail authority is amazing even around stalls.

Could someone tell me if the plans for the Quark 2M are still available for download please?

[Fred]

Hello there 

They should still be available on the Jivaro-models website.

Hello there!

I've seen this forum during the lockdown (in France) and i fell in love for the Quark 2M from Jivaro model.
I just tried it once this summer and the glider is just amazing, it's a real pleasure to make acro flight next to the floor!
After that, I put some colors on the glider, at the end, the weight is 1.7kg  I'll use that when the wind is blowing !

Some pictures about my plane :









Special thank's to Jivaro Model to share some plans of a lots of Gliders!

Hi all,

I just finished my quark a couple of weeks ago, thanks for all the useful info and pictures in this thread! 
I decided to spit the ailerons and add flaps, not sure this really helps the roll rate but landings are really easy using butterfly!

here's a movie of my Quark at Cap Blanc Nez in France:
