Hello everybody!

I was working on this application for our airplanes.
To get started: Results! >>>

Best
Flight stability is excellent, the wing is as inflexible as a steel beam!
It's safer in acrobatic flights.
The look is great, nice mirror effect.
Worst
Fiberglass in the fuselage is no good, is broken by the different forces, which the fuselage is subjected; just replace the fiber glass with carbon fiber rods.

In weigth... i've used 90g/m2, but it's better to use 50g/m2 or less.

Photos:


Cutting the fiber to work


Weighing the fiber, to calculate the amount of resin and accelerator


Preparing the resin and hardener


Apply the resin system with a brush


With a spatula (do not have imperfections so as not to hurt the fiber) to the composite fiber-resin-hardener homogeneous


Allow to dry for 24 hours


Enjoy playing with the unbreakable wing (1.5litres bottles)

Will publish a post of my EasyGlider v1.0 soon...

You may want to try using a more flexible resin for EPP. I like using GOOP, thinned down with Toluene. It can be used with fiberglass cloth similar to polyester or epoxy resins, but its much more flexible for use with EPP. This is a common method used in the slope world. (note-don't use goop on EPS, it will melt it!) You can add paint to the thinned goop mixture for a finished surface and it comes out really smooth, or you can cover over the goop and it will stick very well to monokote or similar...

Thanks, gonna try with that, seems to be lighter.

What a great mini tutorial!
Thanks a lot, Gerado!

aguante villavicencio...!

Yo he probado con una cinta 3M, que tiene hilos de kevlar en su interior, no cede ni milimetros en su resistencia a la traccion, simplmente dos tiras por debajo del ala y algunas por ensima... y el ala del star o glyder, o hawk o sonic y realmente mejoran mucho en el tema de la flexion, el peso... pff gramos, la verdad no lo pese pero no creo que llegue a 10 gramos.

saludos!


I have tryed the 3M duc tape with kevlar leads, I put 2 pieces glued below the wing. and 2 on over the wing, I try this with the easy star, glyder, and the hawk and sonic glyder.....with very good resoults, and the weight is no more than 10 g.

Hola Nando!

Muy buena la idea de la cinta voy a averiguar...

No se si te acordarás, pero la primera vez que me puse las gafas era cuando estabas en el Newbery con Miguel Piccinini, que se le había roto el motor muy lejos!

Desde ese día que tenía en mente al FPV, recien en febrero de este año hice mis primeros vuelos.

Nando was my first contact for FPV, because of him FPV started calling me!

Wish I could read the last two post , lol.

i'm using 3M90 + light fiber glass tissue
