Hi Marco,

Welcome to the forum
Enjoy your Quak build, and do not hesitate to share photos or ask anything

Like the others, I used Cyano for my tubes. Then, a second pass, outside, with Cyano accelerator. The cyano becomes hard and really seal the tube to the ribs. Not sure if this is actually "working" but I felt better after I did it It's all in my head

Hi Fred, thanks! I will share pics for sure. Promise.

I am waiting for the balsa sheets to start the wing build. I think I will try Cyano+activator at first: however the fit between few ribs and the tube is slightly loose. so I may use epoxy as well where needed (I have a new UHU plus 90 minutes box). Or do you think Cyano+activator can be just fine also for loose fit? I never built a wing with a carbon tube spar so far..

Thanks and see you soon ,

Marco

Hello Marco ! Welcome...

For Carbon I use Cyano with great success. Just put a little grind with sand paper on the areas to be glued and it's strong.

Just put parts in the right place and use very fluid cyano to add glue.

I used cyno to secure them in place and then some epoxy to add some more strength.

Hi, thanks to both of you! I look forward to complete the build in the next weekend, and the I will post pics!

Hi all,

this is my first post here. I am also planning to build a quark. But I have one question... (I am not so an experienced builder..).
Which is the best method to glue the carbon tubes in the wing to the wing ribs? Cynao? Or 90 minutes epoxy?

Thanks!

Marco
