Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!

[Fred]

And back!
Lot and lots of work these days for me, but it is now time to catch up with a few things!  

Another Quark is ready to be flown, once again, from Italy.
Rubio built his Quark in 2 weeks, and made a change to the canopy to have more of a Racing look  
In the RedBull scheme, that seems to be back into fashion.



Now waiting for the first flight    :clap:

[Happy Days]

Welcome back Fred,……I seem to be saying that a lot this year. You’ll have to stop selling so many planes! It’ll give you more time to play!!

I can’t see too well but this RED BULL seems to have a full house wing, doesn’t it? :?:

Can someone please video one of these Quarks flying and show the roll rate.  The only time I’ve seen a Quark in flight I was told the lift wasn’t good enough to produce a fast roll.
Surely someone has tried one of these is high wind conditions,…..haven’t they? :!:

Keith

[Fred]

Yeah, very busy!
Cannot produce enough to meet demand  :!:
Not complaining though!  

I actually don't know for the wing, but I ask (received the photo yesterday)
I think there are quiet a few videos of the Quark doing rolls at various speed, wind conditions.
Anyway, when you see the size of these ailerons, you should not worry too much about that!  

[Fred]

More photos forom Rubio, received just now!

No Flaps, and cool looking glider  :clap:

Looks good!

Is there any news about a (short) kit?

greets, Nico

[Fred]

Hey Nico,

Yep, short kits are available for a while now (can't remember, I think that was around May  :?: )

Saying that, you have to be on your toes to get one, as they get out of stock quicker that I can make them! (record is 10 gone in about an hour).

Best thing to do is to click on the "notify me" icon on the Quark Page, you will receive a mail when it is back in stock live.

Another Quark Made in Germany. Second one should be finished soon  :clap:

[Fred]

Received yesterday.
Another great build, this time, for the Czech Republic.

Look at this sexy fuselage!  



And cherry on the cake, Pavel made a Quark Logo / Stickers!  :clap:  :clap:



More details on his build, with some great mods : http://pajanfoto.zonerama.com/Album/64221#

The Quark Community is still growing, with countless builds and happy flyers    :clap:

[billscottni]

That is a beautiful looking machine Fred. Pavel has finished it in a very disticntive scheme. Like the sticker too!

[Fred]

Yeah, I really like the fuselage!

Ok, I might cut a new one for me this week end! That's it, I need to make another Quark!

Oh, and Pavel sent me the CDR file for the logo.
I know nothing about this stuff, but I guess this can be easily used to make stickers  :?:

And fair play to Pavel for doing it and sharing it!  :clap:

Hi Fred,
          Thats near perfect. Just needs the fuse rounded off more on the top aft section. I like the taper in on the bottom going aft. I'm sure the longer nose makes no difference as adding noseweight anyway. Redraw and have a 2013
glider.
John.

[Fred]

Hey John,

No re-drawing on that one    I leave it like this, but saying that, I'm going to cut one for me next week with wood spars, and maybe splitted ailerons to see if that gives any advantages. If it works, I will make this option available (and the wod spar will make this glider a very cheap build too)

The longer nose works great, as the ones built are all at least 200grs lighter than the prototypes with a shorter nose (logical I must say), and it looks slightly better in my opinion

Fred,

Very nice looking, do you have a pic of it completely together? Man I've got to get busy building something :?:

[andrew wallace]

hey Tracy
 good to have you back  :clap:  :clap:

[Freedom Flyer]

Thanks Andy,  Been frustrating not beinging able to post, But have been really quite busy with travel back and forth to work, work, and trying to make up for lost time with the family when I get back.  I've got a couple of projects I was hoping to get to this winter but I need to get some balsa as they require some scratch building . If you guys get a chance go to this site and check out the build this guy is doing.  4 meter plane, scratch built, his own design.  Cool thing is he only lives about 100km away from me and comes and flys at our site, it's a bit of a jaunt for him but we do see him on occasion so I'll get to see this beauty fly.

His name is Keith he's quite the craftsman, I started at the beginning of the thread and read the whole thing.  
Great to be here again FF
