How To Install A T blade On A DLG

Thanks, having a go tomorrow on the Mini Dart

Good luck with the install!

All looks good and what i would follow for all my t-blades build but the biggest mistake is the last step. Do not clamp unless your t-blade is perfectly sized for the thickness of the profile. You will have an distorted profile at the tips, but more so very likely it'll brake at the very tip of the blade eventually. If there is enough epoxy which it should, there is no need to clamp to distort the glider profile.

Hey guys! It's great that you show how to install a peg(T-Bar). I am a beginner and want to ask where to put the peg in other wings? I have a strike 2 pro(also rohacell). Do I take the stut(the bar in the wing) or a little bit behind that? I'm sorry I don't know the special terms for all of this. I hope you can help me with that

Hi! Usually you want it as far back as structurally permissible as it gives the best launches. I'd say on most models you can get it as far back as 5mm from the hinge. I'm not sure about the Strike 2 but that should be the case as well.

Thank you for this. Always tricky and nerve-racking when hooking out the innards of a precious wing. Using a long drill bit marked with tape for depth, resting the wing on a piece of foam, hand cutting the slot and keeping the vacuum cleaner close by are all things I will do in future. Btw I can smell dinner cooking in the background - maybe some nice stir fried vegetables? ;D

I'm glad there were some things in the video that can be transferred to your building workflow in the future! I thought adding an extra sensory item in there might make the video more captivating ;)

Hi again, my listening enlish is not good, could you tell me if you are using microballon mix with the epoxy?

My T peg broke right on the tip do you think its the best option to remove the remaining T carbon inside the wing and then put a new Peg in?

[@ArmSoar]

Ouch! You'll have a very hard time trying to get the tang out since it's also carbon. No real way to drill that out without a high chance of damaging the wing skin. I would recommend cutting a hole through the top and installing a regular blade through the tang that's in there to act like a hard point. You might want to add a layer or two of carbon patches on the top and bottom to help spread the load since wingtips for T blades are usually not as reinforced as wingtips for regular blades.
