Hello friends,
since im waiting for my bixler kit to arrive and after a big sunday lunch watching glider videos, i decided to start my Alula scratch build.
here is my inspiration:
the ARF kit you can get at Dreamflight, but hey ... i was trying to get busy in the rainy afternoon.
i started like this:
then i decided to drop the metal hanger and use only the Hashi sticks glued together as a Spar.
I glued the 2 pieces of cheap foam with the spar between.
ALOT of sanding going on and still alot of sanding to do !!
the wing without the pod, feathers and eletronics measure 800mm and weight 70 grams.
after i reach my desired wing profile (eye measuring) I plan to coat it with packing tape to add strenght.
this is my first scratch build, i hope it flies !!! any tips ??
