Gliders > Thermal / Flat field

Supergee type DLG build

(1/9) > >>

joe:
So after the bones of a year off gliders I returned to the workshop.  I started to make a plug for a Quark 2m fuselage then found a bunch of materials I bought for another project and decided 1. Fred's quark is perfectly fine the way it is as a built up kit and 2. to start building some DLGs  :lol:

Design is standard Drela Supergee type affair.

Cut two set of cores on Friday. Took a few goes to get the file and the settings right but am fairly happy with the results.

Hot off the cnc


Trimmed, shaped and sanded


Packed the otherhalf and small one off to Engerland for a few days this morning so plan is to get stuck in and have them in the bag by this evening.
Mylars next....

joe:
If you heard a strange sound off in the distance earlier that was probably me screaming. Left my wings on the cnc table while i was cutting mylars. Computer was asleep. I pressed a button to wake it up and turned back to the mylars. Heard a sizzling and turned to see one of my wings melting! Long story short I was down a wing and not very happy   :!:  :!:

thankfully i cut two sets. :cry:  :cry:


Mylars cut


Making composite fabric. Kevlar and fibreglass


Ready to layup the wing


Finally in the bag


That was a lot of work. Should be a lot quicker next time as I have the mylars and kevlar ready to cut and i know what i'm doing a bit more(kinda)  :wink:

Fred:
Looks good Joe  :clap:
Pod and boom fuse?   :?:

joe:
Hey Frederic.
Yeah pod and boom. Have a few booms. Will start fuse today.

Fred:
By the way, what are the specs? Size, profile?
