Micro Bungee Hi Start Experiments Pug V2 Res Glider

[@jackjuhasz533]

you are right, many years ago i built a small glider(36") pulled the bungee tight and shot the fuselage like an arrow leaving the wings at my feet ! thanks for your great video ! JJ

[@freetimetv5991]

A little more into the stratosphere. Really cool.

Some old bloke with a hat on. LOL. Another useful and interesting video Nick.

[@NickChittyFlying]

I edited the rest out 😂😂

[@jackjuhasz533]

this is so amazing, i did the same thing with rubber tube. ordered the wrong bits. thanks for the way to use it !!

[@NickChittyFlying]

Build the tension up slowly mate 👌

Hi Nick, I kind find the old bloke with the hat entertaining. I’ve recently found your channel and watched some of your glider builds. Very nicely explained and quite informative. Thanks for sharing your building skills and the reviews of kits. I want to build a few before i retire in the hopes that I can get out of flat Texas. I have to learn to fly the fields and tree lines. I miss the coast of California.

[@NickChittyFlying]

Thanks mate would love to fly in Texas flats my son has flown hang gliding comps there. Also would love to fly torrey pines 😍 I don’t have time for work 🤣🤣

Nice work, might have to try a bungee of my elf.

Nick, In my early days using bungee launches, about 35 years ago, the latex tube was always seen as a smoother ride than the normal elastic based bungee. I was flying a full sized Gentle lady back then and definitely the latex tube was smoother. The different diameter tubes were used for different gliders of different weights. What are the dimensions of the tube you are using?

[@NickChittyFlying]

Fully agree it used to be surgical tubing this is tinny compared it’s 6 mm exercise rubber tube

[@jcork3460]

Ok and do you find it smoother than the elastic or equivalent

[@NickChittyFlying]

@@jcork3460 it’s just light pull on smaller model most of the time I use the micro bungee from angelwingdesigns

[@alistairclark6814]

Nice hight! I have started experementing with towing up with an RC car. First launches have gone very well, currently looking for a large enough field to get it way up.

[@NickChittyFlying]

Try an electric drill 😁

[@laurentbigot2658]

Hello Nick ,could you tell me please what distance from the nose was the towing hook on the Pug V2 ?Your video's are just great help for buiding. cordialement laurent

[@NickChittyFlying]

[@laurentbigot2658]

hello and thank you very much for your reply . Ccordialement Laurent

[@thomearle652]

As another “old bloke”, and a Yank as well, I found your video to be very informative. Well done lad. However, I have been unable to hear the name of your excellent model. Would you mind posting it for a half deaf old fellow and also where I might obtain one for myself? It’s off to Amazon now to order some of that green bungee cord.

[@NickChittyFlying]

Cheers lad 😘 www.angelwingdesigns.co.uk/products/pug2?variant=39538926452829 should be back in stock in feb

[@NickChittyFlying]

Nice Snood.

The best mate

[@elwynj5379]

Hi Nick, just wondering where your CG is on your pug v2?

[@NickChittyFlying]

50 mm from leading edge back and ended up at 55 mm

[@elwynj5379]

@@NickChittyFlying thanks! I started at 50, Now heading towards 58mm. Seems to need lots of up trim. Down to 2g lead in the nose for the next session and light winds tomorrow :-)

[@NickChittyFlying]

@@elwynj5379 yep i slowly worked mine back for the sweet spot :) conditions can make a difference as well

[@barenekid9695]

50 m is a Helluvalof a lot of line ...attached to that tubing.. More than I use on My Highstart w 3/8 tubings ... for launching 2m.. 1lb Thermal gliders. That said an electric motors makes a bungee redundant.
