Q2 Actual1 (2 min 1 sec)

Thought I would share a 25 year old design finally reaching fruition.

2 meter span.

The plug was meant to be used for multiple glider plan-forms,
and was originally one piece, used for molds for my "Q-Continuum" high performance 60" canard V.1 and V.2.

I then shortened, and cut that plug into 2 pieces, and made the split plates.
At the same time I fashioned a canard from foam core and balsa.

I sandwiched the main cores with obechi 20 years ago.

All the main parts survived 25 years of raising 3 kids!

I started flying other planes at Daves Beach about a year ago, got the "bug" again, and lucky stars provided a meeting with Mike Frandsen.

He MOST thankfully moved the design ahead with his knowledge of molds, and positive energy, and continued support!

The video is a mix of build log and flying.

There will be more of the "Q2-Actual" ( as opposed to "virtual"), and soon, the Original 60" Q-Continuum high performance canard V.3 with the new fuselage.
