[@SH1974]

@@JanKowalskiOfficial no pre-tinning the connector or cable, too much heat to the cable (cable sucks solder, isolation shrinks backwards) , even "soldering" with a torch. I've seen many terrible things.

[@SH1974]

@@JanKowalskiOfficial I work in industrial electronics since 1991. The solder back then contained 40% lead and the flux in the wire was probaably not really positive for health - so I even learned breathing technique: breath slowly out (blow smoke away) when soldering. Once learned, I still do so.

Hi Bavarian. Ich habe jetzt nochmal dein Video angeschaut. Thema: "Bügeln". Und ja, ich habe jetzt gesehen, warum sich bei meinem Flieger die Tragfläche verzogen hat. Danke nochmal vielmals für dein Video. Wer aufmerksam hinschaut, kann viel lernen. :) (P.S.: ich hab eben wieder Worte vom englische ins deutsche dolmetschen lassen, von Google, und es war hilfreich)

[@bavarian_rc]

Au weia! Das ist ärgerlich wenn die Tragfläche sich verzieht. Ist es noch im Rahmen oder musst Du die Folie wieder runtermachen? Wenn ich mal viel Zeit habe, dann mache ich 'ne richtige deutsche Untertitel-Version. Manchmal übersetzt Google nämlich ein wenig seltsam 😀

[@g.i.x-faktor4846]

@@bavarian_rc Ich wollte die Tragflächen mit gelb und rot bügeln. Zuerst mit rot. Rot nur als Unterbrechung. Voll verzogen. Hab´s abgezogen, Tragfläche gesäubert und mit Heißsiegelkleber eingestrichen. Nach dem dritten Versuch hab ich mich entschlossen, die Tragflächen komplett in gelb zu bügeln. Doch zuerst die Oberseite, damit ich die Öffnungen für die Ruderhörner einschneiden konnte. Dann die Servo´s eingeklebt. Unterwegs ging die Folie alle. Hab neue bestellt. Ich hoffe die kommt Montag. Foliere also erstmal die Winglets. Habe alle Arbeiten fotografiert. Gut finde ich, daß ich viel Praxiserfahrungen sammeln durfte. Die Angst was falsch zu machen, oder das Modell zu zerstören, haben sich somit minimiert. Daumen hoch.

[@bavarian_rc]

Hi, das klingt erst mal ziemlich übel und ich kann mir vorstellen, wie Du Dich geärgert hast. Aber mit jeden Problem und jedem Fehlschlag lernt man dazu. Ich verrate Dir was: Was bei meinem Puri Video so spielerisch einfach aussieht, täuscht darüber hinweg, dass ich hier auch bei einer Fläche die Folie nochmal runtermachen und neu beginnen musste. Bei mir war's nicht der Verzug sondern dadurch, dass ich die weiße Folie zunächst nicht um die Hinterkante rumgeschlagen hatte, hat's mir die Folie beim Schrumpfen und Spannen so weit von der Hinterkante weggezogen, dass das Holz wieder sichtbar wurde und die Spannung war natürlich weg.... wieder was gelernt. Das gleiche ist wichtig wenn man, wie Du beschreibst, farbliche Unterbrechungen reinbringt. Die Folie muss an den Rändern noch genügend Halt haben, damit sie sich spannen lässt. Die Stirnseite einer Rippe ist da zu wenig. Also immer um eine Kante rumziehen (sieht man in meinem Video auch bei den gelben Oberseiten. Weiterhin viel Erfolg!!!

[@g.i.x-faktor4846]

@@bavarian_rc Genau das habe ich auch erlebt, so daß das Holz wieder zu sehen war. Habe dann eine schmale Folie drüberfoliert, damit beide Tragflächenfolien halten. Das mit der Kante war auch interessant, an den Winglets, da gibt es nämlich keine. Ich mußte die Tragflächen und die Winglets miteinander verkleben, um an der Nasenleiste, wo es nicht dicht war, mit Balsaholzreste auffüllen und abschleifen, so daß es auch gut aussieht und funktioniert. Ich bin eher Pilot, als Bauer, doch durch dieses Modell "Dizzybird 2.0" lerne ich viel, auch für die nächsten Modelle. Auf jeden Fall ist es ein Selbststudium, wo etwas Lehrgeld draufgeht. Aber unser Austausch bringt mich auch weiter. Ach ja, ich ärgere mich nur sehr kurz, lerne sofort daraus und schaue nach Lösungen. Ich wünsche noch nen schönen Sonntag.

[@bavarian_rc]

Das gute ist wenn man schon seine Erfahrungen gemacht hat, dann überlegt man sich beim nächsten Design was sich gut umsetzen lässt und was nicht. Bin gerade an dem Punkt das Design für meinen nächsten Flieger zu erstellen. Muss dabei doch immer wieder meine Kreativität einbremsen und wieder in Richtung Machbarkeit lenken 😜 Wünsche Dir einen guten Wochenstart!

what seems like a looong time ago now, my last project was a Carl Goldberg Tiger 60 kit, with retracts and a 4 stroke. I haven't built anything in years now. This little kit looks like a great refresher for sure, and nowadays with electrics being as dependable and fun as they are, I sure would like one of these! at 8:40 or so, what!? no hot sock on that iron!?

@@bavarian_rc I've found while doing those nice neat, 'corner folding' jobs with monocote, that's when the adhesive can get on the iron surface and then get on other bits of covering. The sock tends to help that a bit. But yes, I too LOVE to spend tons of time on covering jobs for sure! (wish I could post a picture here) I also have one of those smaller, tiny irons for really tucking in to the small areas as well. There's not much more rewarding than looking at a great covering job, especially with those clear colors! Looks GREAT!

Auch auf großen Flächen verbessert der Kleber die Haftung enorm. Damit kriegst Du später weniger Ablösungen. Ist aber halt etwas mehr Gewicht. Daher würde ich in der Fläche den Kleber etwas stärker verdünnt auftragen. Bei meinem Triple Neo hab ich alle Flächen eingestrichen die mit der Folie in Kontakt sind.

Hi, ich würde zuerst folieren und dann im Bereich der Klebestelle die Folie mit einem scharfen Messer sauber wieder wegschneiden. Niemals Folie auf Folie kleben, das hält nicht. Da gibt das schwächste Element nach und das ist der Kleber der Folie trotz zusätzlichem Heißsiegelkleber.

For a normal balsa build I still use wood glue and sometimes epoxy… things have not changed so much 😜 Nevertheless the design of the Puri allows to easily and quickly build it using CA glue (Sekundenkleber).

Good luck, and thank you for the video. 🙂

Frage: Wozu brauch ich den "oracover Heißsiegelkleber" ? Klebt die Folie nicht durch´s bügeln, alleine ?

[@bavarian_rc]

Hi, die Folie klebt auch alleine durch‘s bügeln. Dabei haftet sie aber nur mit der obersten Schicht Balsa. Bei Belastung kann es nun sein dass sich diese oberste Schicht Balsa ablöst und schon ist die Folie lose… da hilft auch kein nachbügeln mehr. Der Heißsiegelkleber dringt dagegen etwas ins Holz ein und es entsteht dadurch eine tiefere Verbindung. Der weitere Vorteil ist dass die Haftung deutlich besser ist als ohne und das ist speziell bei geringer Auflagefläche wie hier bei den dünnen Rippen ein Vorteil. Ich hab bisher recht gute Erfahrung damit gemacht auch wenn die Verarbeitung recht unangenehm ist aufgrund des starken Lösungsmittelgeruchs. Im Innenraum unbedingt auf gute Belüftung achten. Ich nehme immer zusätzlich eine Maske mit Aktivkohlefilter. Wenn man auf‘s Gewicht achten will einfach etwas verdünnen.

@@bavarian_rc Thanks for the information, now it remains to find such material.

[@bavarian_rc]

Good luck!

[@BOB58046]

@@bavarian_rc I found everything. Thank you. 1 question is there a coating on the iron so that the plastic does not stick?

[@bavarian_rc]

Yes the iron has a kind of teflon coating. A normal iron can also be used if you wrap a thin layer of cotton around the iron.

quelle est ce scotch ? what is this tape please ?

[@bavarian_rc]

Hi, I think you mean the tape for attaching the ailerons. It is normal Tesa clear tape, nothing special.

[@alpha_pixel_]

What kind of sheet is that.. blue and yellow

[@bavarian_rc]

That’s ORALIGHT covering film from Oracover. You can check the video description for more details.

Is rcglider several grams?

[@bavarian_rc]

Not sure to catch your question correctly. You can fly it in my setup which weighs 130 grams. In a pure glider setup you could expect around 100 grams

[@mhkm7655]

@@bavarian_rc The RC gliders which are less than 100 g in Japan are popular.

So this one would definitely fit! Is the sub 100grams linked to your local regulation? In Germany we have a sub 250 gram regulation, where you have almost no restrictions.

Time to build a ridable one where you stand in top...

I like the picture that you just created in my mind. A bit like Paul Atreides in the the movie Dune (the first one from 1984) riding the sand worm 😂 Depending on your age you might know the movie.

[@af0ulwind115]

@@bavarian_rc oh I know it... And I think I know how to accomplish this picture... I just lack the proper tools and money to do it otherwise think 🤔 I have the skill, if I don't I am close to it. I've spent 20years in and out of personal vendettas to learn how things work and have delved all the way into the particle physics... Breaking down the known physics forces to one universal force that is viewed differently at different scales of size and magnitude yet still remain the same force... I Sooo want to tinker.

Well then just pretend to yourself that it is a random choice of color. And don't forget, there are people that don't have a choice to forget the war, they are in the middle of it and fighting for their life and freedom. The freedom we have in our safe countries is a gift!

I guess you haven't started the hobby back in the 1980's where crashing and repairing your balsa plane was something normal... But honestly: 1. Don't crash! 2. Balsa planes are quite easy to repair... unlike the pile of chips from a crashed 3D printed plane.

Oops, I have rarely been so wrong. Sorry! We‘re about the same age then. So far I only had one bad launch directly into the ground with no damage at all. The low mass of 135 grams is helping to prevent too much damage. Cheers!
