Slope Soaring / Intro plus Quark question
« on: December 31, 2012, 18:33:51 PM »
Greetings folks, I live in Cape Town and enjoy flying slope and electrics. I am interested in building a Quark and have 2 questions.
Firstly, is it OK to use balsa rather than ply for the ribs? If so, would 2mm be OK?
Secondly, I suspect that I might not be able to source 1m lengths of carbon tube for the spars. Has anyone built a 3/4 size Quark?
I hope you all have a good New Year's eve; it is blowing a gale here in CT.
Regards
Mike
