Fred, there  is also interest in kits up north !!!!
We done my friend.

Keith, keep on practising your blender.
, another nice maneuver for the Quark is come straight in towards yourself a eye level (with speed) then as you get to the slope edge pull to a vertical up line, hold the line until the model starts to tail slide then apply up elevator, on the down line you can else do a half roll and pull to exit , or just push to exit inverted. It will give you a wee thrill and you can go home to the wife full off testosterone  :clap:

Yea, I’ve tried manoeuvres like that before Richard. I found that when it got to the vertical line the plane blew back behind me (over the landing zone). :oops:  :arrow:  I know! I need more practice!!!

One manoeuvre that I do enjoy when flying towards myself at head height, is to do a 450 degree roll, and then pull back on the elevator. Looks quite good, although also a little freighting the first time you do it. 8)
I did it once at a Glide-In at Big L.. Bill Scott promptly shouted “Who's the F****ing idiot flying that plane!” (I’ve never done it         since. Except when on my own. I wouldn‘t like to frighten the visitors away.) :lol:  

As for getting keyed up on  testosterone . It would do me no good. Mandy says she prefers eating chocolate to having sex. :(

K.

ps, have you got your Quark finnished yet? :P

Love this new plane Richard and Fred!!! It shows great potential for Vtpr in a smaller ship. I especially love the wood construction. A truely nice modeling experience with traditional modeling style. You guys have done a fantastic job.

Brian, there are some things that I would not do for neither love nor money.
And immersing my manhood in hot, molten chocolate is one of them! :cry:  :cry:

Anyway, enough of all this vulgarity, (Whatever will our civilized French friends think of us! :oops: )  

So, what was this topic about? :?:  Oh yes, elementary sub-atomic particles called Quarks!

Hello Eric and welcome to Glider Ireland.
Yes you are correct about this beautiful constructed balsa wood plane.
I so am looking forward to flying the Quark in stronger lift at our site at Slieve Gallion, we have a beautiful North slope that produces clean air lift and also we are lucky to live in the North of Ireland were the winds blow alot
, sad part is, we also get alot of rain lol.
John was flying on the very small south slope in the video, the air was ok but no good for low down aerobatics.
Fingers crossed the winds will change to the North or East before the winter snow comes.

Finally, managed to have a bit of free time to get that thing finished!
 Rudder servo and ailerons hinges left to be done tonight, and ready to fly!  :D

Ok, I'm not saying that because it is mine, but I really like it a lot!  :mrgreen:  Also the size is very nice, and feel right!
Ok, enough with autosatisfaction, here are the photos :





Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!
