F flyboa Elite member Jun 28, 2019 #165 @bracesport This is an early example of a simple DLG design. Folded wing with straight leading edge and a UMX receiver. Rudder/ Elevator only. Last edited: Nov 18, 2019

bracesport Legendary member Jun 28, 2019 #166 @flyboa - Very simple and very nice - that was a decently lengthy flight - you had a tad of yaw on launch that is not there with your current ships?

F flyboa Elite member Jun 28, 2019 #167 @bracesport This early model had a lot of wing flex and weak servos. Looks like the throwing blade is also missing. I might try to build one like it again with the my current techniques. Should be interesting.

bracesport Legendary member Jun 28, 2019 #168 I will at least build a fuse next week - the tail is new for me so I need to adapt! What hinge tape do you use?

bracesport Legendary member Jun 28, 2019 #170 Recently I used regular packing tape from the wing covering - I taped both sides then slit the join every few centimetres to reduce the hinge force.

bracesport Legendary member Jun 28, 2019 #171 I am quite exited to go to 1.5m and try and replicate your experience! Do you have any on 4 servos?
F flyboa Elite member Jun 28, 2019 #172 I did make 4 servo versions which does give extra functionality. But for simplicity I prefer the 3 servo setup for now.

F flyboa Elite member Jun 29, 2019 #173 @bracesport wing panels cut and enough left over for flaperons. Clear packing tape covering will add 12g to wing. Last edited: Jul 12, 2019

F flyboa Elite member Jun 30, 2019 #175 Wing complete. 93g. Heavier than the white uncovered wing (70g). The black paper peels very easy. Last edited: Jul 12, 2019
bracesport Legendary member Jun 30, 2019 #176 @flyboa - this looks like no front caps - just laminated and sanded? Ailerons are bottom taped? I use Adams Ready Board - white paper barely holds on!

F flyboa Elite member Jun 30, 2019 #177 @bracesport I did use LE caps and cut back the top covering. Sanded a sharper LE now. I would not recommend using the black DTFB. Flexes too much and paper does not adhere very well. Last edited: Jul 12, 2019

bracesport Legendary member Jun 30, 2019 #178 I have run out of FB - so I need to plan a trip to the store!
F flyboa Elite member Jul 15, 2019 #179 New 1m DLG wings. It has been awhile since I built a small DLG. Last edited: Aug 14, 2020
bracesport Legendary member Jul 15, 2019 #180 while you go smaller - I go bigger - I am going to tackle the 1.5m wing today!
