Foamboard dlgs

[guilhermefl]

It has been a long time since I went flying. Nice to have such weather hear in sunny Tucson, Arizona.

I know you use a mix of old servos you got through the years and I was wondering if what you have is 2 4gs and 1 2g servo? I'm ordering new materials and parts and I was having a hard time figuring out how light I can go on them before its not really usable for a dlg.

Also, one thing I couldn't figure out, do you keep the same thickness from root to tip or do you taper the width from root to tip somehow?

Thanks!

Popped up in my Youtube feed yesterday. Looks like a great flyer!

it's not the size of the servo, it's how you use it....
I have a couple of teensie 2gram from a heli the kids got me for xmas, was thinking of hanging them on a Foamy handlaunch to see if I can thermal off the junior high gym building at the end of my street. Got out my round tuit, just have to walk over to the dollar store and rummage through their foamboard selection

Trying afilos method of making the boom, first time I think there was too much resin left and it turned out plastic like.
Hope this time it works.
