Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!

[Fred]

Nearly there George! In the air this week end!    

And another successful first flight for Quark over in RCGroups :

I am not too sure how many of them are being built, or have flown, but I can say "a lot" !! Wood building is not dead!

Hello friends
My name is Philip and I live in France.
After a lot of looking glider that style, I fell in love with Quark and I started construction.
Of course, there are some minor construction details that I do not understand. If I could count on you to help me it would be nice.
As you can see, I use an automatic translator because my English is "VTPR"
See you soon and good flights.

Phil

welcome :wink:  :mrgreen:
bienvenue chez les  cools

Hello and thank you for the welcome.
I do not understand how the two parts of stabilizer were held between them. Are they glued? In this case, how to disassemble everything to repair. Please, photos would not be too much.
With a 4mm carbon tube, the key is 2.6mm. Is this sufficient as resistance?
Thank you for your answers, I must quickly control the carbon because my fingers itch;)

Quark =

Q……Quite
U……Unique
A……And
R…..Really
K…..Kleaver  

 :lol:  :lol:

(Okay :roll: , I know Kleaver should be spelled with a ‘C’ but it’s pronounced the same!)

Hi Keith,
That spelling is closer to cleaver than clever.
I'm afraid - very afraid .

Salut Phil, welcome to the forum!  

I am going to reply here, as this may help others.

The 2 elevators are not glued together. In mine, they are simply held with the carbone rods, in force. More than enough.
2.6mm is enough (that is also what I use), but that can be replaced by piano wire of course  

***************************

Bon, je poste ici, car cela peux en aider d'autres,

Mes 2 demi stab ne sont bien sur pas collés, tout tient en force en rentrant les clefs. 2.6mm est assez, c'est comme le mien, mais il est bien sur possible de remplacer le carbone par de la CaP.

En utilisant de la CaP, il suffit de tordre legerement une des clefs, pour que ca rentre en force. comme ca, les stabs ne bougent pas

Hello
Thank you for these precisions. I got the carbon today and I'll be able to continue construction. I can not wait to throw the baby slope.
I will keep you Current evolution of the construction.
It's nice to have you for the advice. It's easier to ask God to his saints;)

Phil

Bonjour
Merci pour ces precisions. J'ai reçu le carbone aujourd'hui et je vais pouvoir continuer la construction. Il me tarde de jetter le bébé à la pente.
Je vous tiendrai au courrant de l'évolution de la construction.
C'est sympa de pouvoir compter sur vous pour les conseils. C'est plus facile de demander à Dieu qu'à ses saints

Received from Italy today, from Pierpaolo  :clap:
First flight went well, and love it  



You can see that he splitted the ailerons to have the flap option.



AUW is 1.4Kgs despite the modifications  :clap:

More photos to come  

[erwan]

It's a very good idea, maybe i do the same for mine.

[Fred]

Yeah, the original plan I made had flaps.. But them removed them.
On mine, I don't see a need for it, as you really can slow it down without stalling, and in all other cases, ailerons down is more than enough.
If I find the original plan, I might put it to download. Very simple change to do.
Might also get rid of the carbone spars, and use strip wood instead  :?:

[erwan]

The quadro flap function is good if you can use lateral stick on radio, i have it on FF9 , it's very funny to do snap roll near field without spedd.

[billscottni]

looking good

Another photo of the Italian flapped Quark  



Pilot said that landings with full flpas, is like landing an helicopter, no speed, and no stall  

A very good mod for the ones that want to do it  :clap:
