Er, no.
I'm talking about an 80% scale Quintus wing maintaining the AR36.
Maybe use the V2CXa fuselage.

Easy,
Just cut the Quintus down to 18m and build a better fuse.
Oh, that's right, it would be an Antares-18! ;)
Better check where they came in Uvalde. :(

It is about time for pre pregs. Can't be repaired I've been told is
the downside.
The V2 was announced nearly 20 years ago so it is about time for a new glider.
80% scale Quintus wing gives 18m with aspect ratio 36. Any bets?
I've seen where 36 was calculated to be the optimum AR for an 18M
glider. A bloke in Austria had a design for an 18M glider some years
ago. Originally AR 47 or so, later revised to 36. Fly Shift. Website
had disappeared last I looked.
Hopefully the water ballast system will be better than the one in the Quintus.
