If you give a glue-stuck pin a slight twist before pulling it, it'll usually come out without bringing half the model with it. 🙂

Hay Nick, I've actually cut ailerons into my pug wing. I'm not pleased with it now because I've used very small servos and they double center something horrible. I will be replacing them with the 5 gram servos from anglewings as soon as they're back in stock. Also look into offsetting the servo center on your DLG wing for way more downward travel than up... for the flaps.

Interesting video, but I'm puzzled by one thing - that two template rib method only works (in my head) on straight tapered wings. How did you do the ribs for the curved wing?

I had been thinking of making a 'MadSlide' aerobatic glider (Benoit Paysant-Le Roux). Your very timely video gives me new hope of making in mini version from XPS. Brilliant build video. I look forward to watching the maiden flight.

Come for the entertainment, and always end up learning something new .. to me. VTPR, or “Voltige Très Près du Relief” in French means “aerobatics very close to the ground” Before a VTPR definition search, was going to suggest that could save some effort by making the wings twisties, aka pitcheron, so no need to make span length cuts and adding extra depron. To remove the clamp marks, might try using a damp cloth with a film covering iron. This technique works well with EPP, but not sure with depron. At least it would give more control than pouring hot water.

I did exactly that it worked so well it’s worthy of a video 😍 cos that how I straighten the Lidl wing Interestingly I did consider twisty wing but ailerons give advantage of changing the wing section and this might be a long project with these easterly winds 🤪
