Composite Gliders

[JYZoom]

oh.. did you just said ready to program for the look weekend?

Hopefully the look is Long up in the sky....and don't turn out to be true that I am not ready for it.
But it is part of the fun of this hobby, you get excited, you pay for it and you learn from it.
But we all know we need to be responsible flyer, do whatever we can to ensure safely first.

Jonathon,

Part of the learnIng process is asking why something is done and the fundamental reason behind it. Having a better understanding allows you to take the correct steps to be successful in flying glider selection,setups etc. When you understand the interactiOns, you will appreciate the flying so much more.

Yes agreed. Where on pm, sms last night with a few peoples while setting up on my DX18 for over 2hrs.
Hopefully everything turns out well.

working on composite cover form or balsa is similar at least to me in heli world working on a china made heli to an well build Heli from Germany.
Ops...next step in the future is moving from China made composite to European made composite Glider.

Stay Positive and continue

I always take positive learning out of everything and continue to move forward.....I have crash my helis even after flying for years especially when I try new things like new FBL or new heli...or new acrobatic moves....one thing for sure I continue to come back for more.

My saga of composite continue, taking advice of not getting a new expensive high end glider to start. I went for o 2nd hand to test it out. But some of you know , luck were not on my side when I try out on a 2nd E-ginger. Even when I maiden it I have buddy around, not their fault at all I still make the mistake of programming the elevator the wrong way. I was so sure but I end up programing the elevator in according to how a heli swash plate wok....tilt up to nose up.....how wrong is that for a glider or plane. Just one of those day for me.

Like I say, take positive out of everything....now I can learn about fixing it. And thanks to bro Jumat and Kiply for helping to fix it, I decided to do it myself so I learn something new. This actually further confirm that I prefer to work on fiberglass then foam. Here is my attempt....any feedback on my work and advice on next step to take are welcome...I will probably proceed to spray paint on it or put a Kevlar on it. But I have no idea where I can get Kevlar in Singapore.

I am using 1.5oz outside and 6oz inside.

Bro...thanks again for the tips....

here is what I got done just now, I should have sand it down before I spray....but I decide to leave every single piece of FG on it so it stay strong as safety comes first then look.
