Just finished this _little_ model. It is from Fred's original plan for the quark mini scaled by .55 wingspan came out at a hair under 850 mm.
The construction is all 5mm foam floor underlay with packing tape for strength. The tail surfaces in 3mm balsa. 4 x 5g hobbyking services and a 750mah 3.7 lipo (I don't have any nimh and the model is too small to fit a ubec). She is really light so imagine it is only suitable for very low winds.

Looking forward to getting her airborne, I imagine such a small model will be quite `tetchy` as little Keith says so I may try to cram the orange 3 axis gyro into her (if it will fit). The build was quite quick took about a day and a half but was very fiddly getting the rudder and elevator push rods and servos installed. The aileron servos diiffer from the original plan as mounting them inside the wing would have reduced its strength greatly. The wing is of kfm3 design but with the step sanded smooth.
does anyone know how I can connect 4 servos to a 4 channel radio and power it. I tried cutting the positive cable from one of the servos and adding the power to where it was cut but my receiver (4ch frsky) didn't like it and wouldn't operate, my next idea is to look for somewhere on the receiver board to solder a power connector.
