Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!
« Reply #195 on: May 04, 2012, 08:07:08 AM »
Your first foto is for your servo leads to exit

Second foto is as described, servo mounting plates for your aileron servo.

I have altered my elevator mount and am currently testing it , I have massive throws but for normal flying mount your elevator as standard.
It is all very basic and you will learn from your mistakes, I make plenty of them  :!:

Hi George,

As Richard says  :D  Look carefully at the plan, and you will see what and where all these pieces are going.

For the elevator bellcrank, it is 4mm tube for the front one, and 3mm rod for the one at the back (it's on the plan if you look at the bellcrank)

The front tube is glued on the side of the fuselage, using the T1 pieces as support (extra gluing surface). DO NOT GLUE the tube to the bellcrank, only on the side of the fuselage!

Here are the photos for my rudder :

Thanks Fred and Richard for your advices and photos.

Still don't understand what for are two holes on ST1 servo tray I highlighted by red color? On second picture highlighted by green color are points for screws whitch fixed servo tray with servo cover I suppose (I thought that they are glued together, therefore my question). Because main wings are fixed by hooks  so my last question was how elevators wings are fixed to fuselage, if they only put on 3mm rods or ?

My main problem now is where to get 10mm tube and 8mm rod which will match to each other, because in local hobby markets they have only china sh.t  which don't match together :!:

But I don't give up, Quark must take the air  :D

Once again , thank you.

Hi George,

Sorry, quick reply as it is a bit late, I'll take photos tomorrow to answer your questions.

Basically, don't worry about the holes in T1, this is only to pass your servo cables, that have no other functions.

In green, yes, don't glue! Use screws, as this will allow you to unscrew the servo tray if you need to do a bit of maintenance.

I feel your pain for the tubes / rod... My tube was 7mm inside, and had 8mm rods!  :!:  :!:  Sanding, re-drilling of the tube etc etc  :!:  :!:  :!:

Hi George, I have 10mm tube with 8mm I/D and alloy 8mm tube for the wing joiner.
I think there are 10 peices left in the workshop.
I am unsure of the exact price, but think the 10mm carbon tube cost me £8 per 1m lenght.

I wanted to avoid sanding, but I see there is no other way  :!:

I appreciate your offer Richard, but I'll try to sand a little carbon rod like  Fred said. Many thanks.

Any words from Denis? Did he flew his model?  :?:

Hi Fred, Denis had to go into hospital and is now out and recovering, he intends to get the mini Quark in the air as soon as he is in better health and the temperature rises alittle on the mountain.
I hope to meet up with him this weekend at the Banbridge Model clubs glider tow fly-in on Saturday.
I will keep you posted.

Hey Richard,

Sorry to hear that! Hope he make a good recovery and go back to the slopes soon!

Sorry for the long silence, mad at work + took me a day 1/2 to recover from Friday night!  :lol:  :lol:  And Chicken Pox all over at home too!

Anyway, nice one Ronan!  :clap:  :clap:

Lot of sawing and sanding done :!:  Now time for glue is coming  :)


I have a question about tubes in the fuselage. On yours it look like aluminium
tubes. Can I use carbon tube(same one as in wings) or it is necessary use aluminium?


thank you, George
