Yesterday, received the prototype kits of the Quark, like the EPP one, but in wood, and with a 2m wingspan.

Quick build last night, a bit of time, and a fresh bottle of cyano, and here we go :

I can already see a few things to change, and also to make it much much lighter, but will see how it goes like this!
I have modified the plan already, I might put it for download after the first flight.

C'est prévu pour une aile Quadro flap ??

Salut mon Erwan

Revenus de la peche ?

Non, pas prevu, mais faisable avec un coup de scie, y'a la place pour les servos

No quadroflaps, but do-able, lots of room for the extra servo in the wing. the plan shows the quadro version

Yes petite partie de pêche avec les mouflets , 8 maquereaux dont 4 péchés par Romarick.

Bref le bonheur. Il faut que je post des photos de ce que je monte en ce moment

Thanks both

A bit of progress this week end, with a bit (lots!) of sanding and the start of the wings.
All that is an hour worth of work

With the daughter

A relatively big machine by the way. A tad over 2m but actually looks bigger. Might be due to the generous wing chord or the high fuselage :?:

Left to do : wing sheeting, servos, covering! Not much, but I really like how this glider "feels" so far! (Autosatisfaction ON!

)

It is also possble to make this glider extra light, I have added a few options in the plan for a very lightweight version.

Looking VERY nice Fred!

Will kits be available?

Fred · « **Reply #11 on:** September 01, 2011, 07:59:30 AM »

Thank you all

Chris, no plan to kit that one yet, but might consider it, not sure if there is a demand for this kind of stuff. More and more people don't want to have to glue things together before being able to fly

We'll see how that thing fly anyway

On the build, not much done so far, kids are taking all my free time! A few yeards back, I could have finish this model in a day!

I'll make some photos tonight of the wing sheeting.

Are there people that can do the cutting of the parts from a plan of yours then, Fred?

Fred · « **Reply #13 on:** September 01, 2011, 14:13:20 PM »

Hi Chris,

Yes. This is how I do all my kits for the shop

Fred · « **Reply #14 on:** September 16, 2011, 08:02:33 AM »
