Maiden flight of the Quark yesterday at North Sheba crater outside of Flagstaff Arizona.
 Flies very nice, best of all my planes. Thanks for the plans and inspiration.

Nice Bavo, I like the video, there are so few of the Quark flying.
 My Quark is 3/4 of the way done, covering it up and finishing control rods and cables.
Excited to get it out there and see how it flies.

Lots of things getting in the way but still working on it. Been getting in some flying, working on other planes, etc.
Got the ailerons done, cutting out some ribs still and currently getting the sides of the fuse finished. Took 2 months for some of the wood to come from my supplier, they had to find some trees to cut down
Got all the carbon, just got to get cracking and pull my fingers out.

 Hi Fred,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Looking forward to getting this bird in the air.
Scratch building from plans is no joke, lots of details so hopefully it wont take an eternity.
 I'm cracking away at it.
Just noticed the Lunak 2M. Is that also your design? Looks like the wing spar system has been changed a bit,to make it lighter,
stronger, or easier to build?

 Cheers

 Greetings Fred and RC forum enthusiasts
My name is Ezra, I live in Northern Arizona . There are some good flying sites in the neighborhood and the windy season is right around the corner.
 The Quark 2 caught my eye years ago and I can't take it any more so I'm going after it!
Plans printed, using tracing paper method to cut out parts, tail feathers started.
Studying plans, online posts and sifting through the process, ordering carbon and more balsa. 
The goal, build and fly.

Thanks for the cool design and plans Fred, really like the look of this plane.
Cheers
