Hey Alistair,

Sorry to hear about your Quark :(

Your wing joiners are long enough. I think that was roughly the size of mine. In theory, even half that would be enough  :D

Talking about the Quark, more are being made, and this time (first I hear from over there) in Canada :)

And in France with this nice exemple:





And they say that Copy is the best form of flattery... I can't remember how they called it, but I'm getting used to it at this stage :) (that would be the 4th copy I'm aware of. Or as they say, "inspired by" but much better :)

Okay then Alistair, which of those terms resembles yourself: :?:

Old.
Ancient.
Mature.
Old Bugger.
Or, ‘Corked.’
Be honest now, remember, “Tell the truth and shame the devil.” :lol:

I received a bunch of photos of an Electro Quark 2M! Looks like this is getting more and more popular!

Hi guys !

Screwing this topic out of old Irish mountains !

I consider building a Quark from the short kit in September or so. I start to review all thing as the kit is on order...

One thing I have to statute before starting the wings : 2 ailerons or quadro-flaps ?

I've seen in this old topics that the discussion have been started long ago and was even the first question. I've not (yet) read everything but have you all arrived to a statement about it ? I try to have an estimation of how many quark are "quadros"...

What are plus and minus ?
Quadro plus :
  • butterfly airbrakes
  • fine tuned flaps curvature for flight conditions
  • less flap throw than ailerons for less adverse yaw
Quadro minus:
  • complicated (4 servos, 4 links, Tx program)
  • heavier

Best regards and happy flights !
