Current weight minus radio and covering is 1.78oz. Airfoil was AG 37. I used the ones from the Lightning Bug file. The wing is glued and glassed on. I decided against the complexity of a bolt on wing and the plane is might small as is. Horizontal stab is a full flying one. I built a V-mount out of 1/64 ply. It's similar the the one on the Allegro Lite. I had planned on using a covering from Ed Harris. It's similar to Silkspan put stronger and shrinks with heat. You seal it with dope. I'll try to post a couple pix later. Steve On Sep 9, 2012, at 3:21 AM, Squid wrote: > HI Steve, > > Thanks for sharing with us.

HI Steve, Thanks for sharing with us. I have a few questions for you if you dont mind. What airfoil are you going with? What have you chosen to cover with? What is your estimated weight? Kind Regards Alan

Well, I've got the wing, fuse and tail framed up on a Lightning Bug. I hope to have it done in the next few days. I went with a full flying horizontal stab.

Hi guys, how is everyone? I am sending an email out to all to firstly ask if any one could take a video of the Lightninbug & if you are building could you take photos? It would be really nice to see how everyone is doing. Well we certainly have a few less emails going out since we did the redesign but hopefully with summer coming on this side of the world I can get a build log in and upload some new photos too. Keep well all. Kind Regards Alan

I put on .049 engine on my hand built (from RCM plans) "sylus" glider. It's a one meter glider and worked great with that engine. I turned a film canister into the fuel tamk and it fit perfectly in the nose. Soo bottom of page for pics and info. on the glider I'm referring to. http://www.ccdemo.info/SportsAndHobbies/RCSailplane.html Plans found here: http://www.rcmplans.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=1848 Good luck with your project!
