this is the fuselage parts for one of Fred's Quarks

this is a smaller version at 1.2 metre's and the parts are beautifully cut from a range of balsa and ply wood

hoping to start on the fuselage soon and will take photo's as i go along

this is my work so far

went round the outside of fuselage with 4mm balsa

added forms 1,2,3 & 4

all 6 formers now glued, i'm usually a white glue man but i've used thin cyano for this

other fuselage side added and all squared up

this is the servo trays and are beautifully cut to suit two mirco servos and the bellcrank for the elevator

Great

I don't know which version i would order

Slow Down!!

Very good start Andrew! :clap:
And I must add, without plan! :clap:

For the bellcrank, you should have 2 or 4 rounds in wood, to re-inforce where the rods are going(if you see what I mean!)
If not, glue some metal ones (the one for small screws), that will do the job.

Also, but you certainly already know that, install the elevator servo and bellcrank before doing the bottom sheeting!

Oh and the piece T1 (where the rudder is glued to if I remember) might be not wide enough!
Doesn't matter, as all that will be sanded round! (That's because I changed my mind about the way to cut the balsa strips at the end of the fuselage half way through! #-o

Anyway, good stuff, looking good! :clap: :clap:

Well, not sure if that one is going into production, not sure that will have a wide interrest...

But sound fun, micro VTPR glider that looks like a glider

Forgot to mention, wingspan is 1.2m.

made up the canopy today, put 3mm balsa round the outside edge and sheeted with 3mm balsa

these 12 pieces make up the nose, there's 2 of them made out of ply and go in the centre and the rest is balsa

i'll glue these up tonight and and they'll be ready to glue on to the fuselage tomorrow

the Quark with the nose glued on and the canopy made

this is the rudder and fin made out of 2mm and 3mm balsa

this T1 and Fred said it was a wee bit smaller than the fuselage i glued a couple of peices os balsa on either side but it will be sanded off when rounding the fuselage

this is the trailing edge nicely cut from 2.5mm balsa

and these are the ribs 11 in total and all 1/16th ply

the main spar is 8mm tube but the last two ribs are 6mm so i'll have to step down the carbon tube for the last two ribs

going shopping tomorrow for some carbon for the wings and tailplane

Very good Andrew! :clap:

I think the notches for the TE were cut to 3mm, instead of 2mm for some reasons (file is correct...). You might need a bit of 1mm balsa to glue the TE.

Very well done anyway, looking good so far! :clap:
