3mm tubing is for the HLG version. Much to flexible for high launches on a DLG where a stiff airframe is a must.to limiy tail wag. Maybe try a GForce skinny UL if weight is a consideration and with a tapered tube you can choose the thin end. Putting all gear in the nose should balance it out ok with non covered light balsa tails ________________________________ From: "BugHLG@yahoogroups.com" <BugHLG@yahoogroups.com> To: BugHLG@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, 25 March 2012 9:33 PM Subject: [BugHLG] Digest Number 405 Bug Hand Launch Glider Bug Hand Launch Glider Messages In This Digest (3 Messages) 1. shipping costs for the short kit From: Janhein 2a.

And all the parts fit in a small box that can be shipped as an enveloppe. Two kits can be shipped in one package. Price for the short kit is still 10 euro's shipping is an aditional 5.70 euro's. I can also ship the kits doubble boxed and with a lot of packaging but then the shipping will be 18 euro's. and up to 10 kits can be shipped in one package. if you like to get one of the short kits pls make a payment with paypal to Ramakers@cavemanroc ketry.com and include you name and correct shipping info .I will put on the box the same addres as I reveive so dont blame me for your mistypes pls ;-) Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (1) 2a. Re: Carbon Booms - Goodwinds Posted by: "maxddnj" maxdd76@...   maxddnj Sat Mar 24, 2012 7:38 pm (PDT) Hi Guys, I'm confused by the recommendations for SkyShark P90 and P100. Here are some weight comparisons of P90/P100 to standard recommended 1/8" pultruded CF tube. All the same lengths and all sold by Goodwinds: SkyShark II P90: length 32.5, OD 0.275", weight 10.5g SkyShark II P100: length 32.5, OD 0.280", weight 13g Pultruded Light wall: length 32.5, OD 0.125", weight 6.3g Pultruded Strong wall: length 32.5, OD 0.125", weight 7.2g I actually ordered a few of the P90 and P100's, they arrived today and look amazing but will I be able to use them in a Bug? They almost double the weight of the recommended boom and spars. Will today's lighter electronics make up for this or is this going to smash my Bug to splinters on maiden launch? I haven't started building yet so I could always save these for future projects and stick to recommended sizes and just go pultruded 1/8". Are you guys actually using P90 and P100's in Bugs or other larger kits?

I opted to go this route to fight the flex you get in a pultruded spar. This flex takes a lot of height out of your launch as the wings oscillate up and down after release. The arc can be pretty dramatic. > > > > Same goes for the boom.
