Scratch built DLG glider -Vacuum bagging wing-

[@timrose4178]

Awesome set of videos and craftsmanship! So useful for learning all the techniques for scratch building DLGs. Many thanks for the time and effort to produce them!👍

[@PaulMacklinAmazing]

Amazing craftsmanship, very impressive. Respect!

Looking very nice, and flying well. Camera on pan servo is a real nice bonus. The signage at beginning is nice touch of humour. "Mount vertical, this side up". Fitting for a VTOL. (realize likely unplanned, just part of antenna guidance .. but it's in view as Ranger VTOL launches)

I am definitely changing my techniques! Thank you! Subbed and belled.

Great video. What is that yellow tape you use for joing the wing akins to the core?

[@kousakunin2008]

You can see it in the video bellow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWi0nISsqN-hbNU

[@tabreznadvia]

Great videos man! What is the transparent film, on which you have put carbon and applied resin? How did you put the stickers/ decals/ graphics/ paint to the wing? can you please create a video if possible?

[@kousakunin2008]

You can see the transfer paint process in the video below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnm8emaLa9R0sNU

@@kousakunin2008 Thanks so much for your reply! I have one more question, where can I find the plans so that I can build this DLG?

[@penzeservin457]

Perfect work,videos I can learn a lot of them how many g / m2 of carbon you use?

[@kousakunin2008]

CN-models CW39, 39g/m2, however it's stronger than usual carbon. shop.cn-models.com/carboweave/CW-39-2

[@penzeservin457]

thank you

[@hungoo1241]

Another excellent video and thanks. Were did you source the uni-directional tape? It looks very light.

I’m not sure about global distributer. I got it from the website below.(I guess not available for international shipping) shop.lab-cast.com/?pid=93479124

@@kousakunin2008 thank you for your reply. May I ask, how long have you been building scratch DLG's? You really know how to handle various materials . Awesome tutorials.

[@kousakunin2008]

I built my first DLG in 2008. There are some skilled builders around me, we developed the method while exchanging information. I've made more than 40 DLGs already.

[@hungoo1241]

could you tell us the final weight of each wing half please. Thanks! ;)

[@kousakunin2008]

Left wing; 47g, Right wing; 48g. You can see it in the video below at 1:00. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWHIlWCLps50b7c

[@hungoo1241]

@@kousakunin2008 wow... that's incredible. I'm struggling getting each half on a Supergee2 wing below 60g. I'm guessing that I don't debulk enough. Anyway, really enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing your talent.👍😎

[@kousakunin2008]

Wing weight depends on the wing area. Wing area of mine is 19dsqm, smaller than super gee.

[@franksmit4914]

nice video, can you telle something about that UD carbon? that is not the same as the cw39

[@kousakunin2008]

UD stands for Unidirection and has carbon fiber in only one direction. UD increases the stifness of the wing span direction. CW39 has fibers woven in orthogonal directions. Place it in a bias to increase the stifness of the twisting direction.
