Bug HLG

I have changed to doing this with CA adhesive and it is really hard now...it has also been a lightweight way to repair the fuselarge etc...Laurie --- In BugHLG@yahoogroups.com, "Laurie" <lwjcarroll@...> wrote: > > BTW I have been trying out fuse-able dress liner...instead of light weight fiberglass...with white glue....it appears to be strong enough for the job..it is very much like tissue...its a polyester and is available in different weights...just need to be careful you get the one that doesn't fuzz up when painted etc..it has a grain which gives it moe strength in one direction..Laurie > > --- In BugHLG@yahoogroups.com, "Laurie" <lwjcarroll@> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I got my plans yesterday and have spent this afternoon in part getting info on the + tailplane etc....I plan to do that and have the SAL peg in the left wing as I am right handed..... > > > > I downloaded the Manual from here and am very impressed....alot of work in that and really well presented.. > > > > I hope to upload photos etc in due time... > > > > Rgds > > > > Laurie Carroll > > Tuakau > > Auckland > > New Zealand > > >

Hi...just loaded up some build photos.....also my idea of a "solid" launch tip instead of a DLg peg.... The fusable liner has worked well as a standin for fibre glass...with either Fuller white glue or $2 shop cheap super glue . I was having trouble with the hatch cover being a bit flimsy and used the ligh weight cloth (polyester) on the inside of that with super glue and its a s stiff as can be now...I will upload some photos of what I did for the + tail attachment with this stuff...so far it is working very well... BTW I have used the cheap $2 shop super glue on a larger DLG and its not good enough...had to change to Locktite 401.... I have the Bug flying now and it is really worth the time put in...!!!!

BTW I have been trying out fuse-able dress liner...instead of light weight fiberglass...with white glue....it appears to be strong enough for the job..it is very much like tissue...its a polyester and is available in different weights...just need to be careful you get the one that doesn't fuzz up when painted etc..it has a grain which gives it moe strength in one direction..Laurie --- In BugHLG@yahoogroups.com, "Laurie" <lwjcarroll@...> wrote: > > Hi, > > I got my plans yesterday and have spent this afternoon in part getting info on the + tailplane etc....I plan to do that and have the SAL peg in the left wing as I am right handed..... > > I downloaded the Manual from here and am very impressed....alot of work in that and really well presented.. > > I hope to upload photos etc in due time... > > Rgds > > Laurie Carroll > Tuakau > Auckland > New Zealand >

I have the wing built now plus fuselage...next thing is attaching the tail...I have bought Solite covering for the wing. I do have some litespan but I dont think it will shrink well to this wing shape while the Solite will...Laurie --- In BugHLG@yahoogroups.com, "Laurie" <lwjcarroll@...> wrote: > > Hi, > > I got my plans yesterday and have spent this afternoon in part getting info on the + tailplane etc....I plan to do that and have the SAL peg in the left wing as I am right handed..... > > I downloaded the Manual from here and am very impressed....alot of work in that and really well presented.. > > I hope to upload photos etc in due time... > > Rgds > > Laurie Carroll > Tuakau > Auckland > New Zealand >
