How To Make A F3k DLG glider. Tail Group Vacuum Bagging/ Hinge

In this video, I'm showing you Part 7 in a series for DIY 1m #F3k DLG .
This is a Tail Group Vac Bagging/Hinge video. I cover everything from foam cores wetting, fabric lay down and mylar alignment for vacuum bagging cores.
We'll also cover hinge installation for a string pull system.
If you're looking to build your own #rcglider , then this is the video for you!
In this video series, I'll show you everything you need to know to build a 1m #DLG scratch build.
Thanks for watching! I've left a link for you if your interested in all the files for this build and

Dude, you are like the Bob Ross of model airplanes. Cool vid.

thanks, glad you enjoyed

Those look like food saver bags there, I might try one of those for my first test and for sealing, the food saver machine can seal that open end up real well. But I like your idea of the sealant and tape too.

[@amonus-air2160]

I've never had a leak from the bag ends. It usually will leak a bit around the fitting. I used plumbers putty. :)

Very informative and well video'ed. Excellent finish quality. Well done

[@amonus-air2160]

thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed 😎👍

[@davidjennings2733]

Do you by any chance have the plans for the stabilizer and rudder as I only seen the wings and wing templates in the google directory you supplied, which by the way I want to thank you for providing that to us. You da man..

[@amonus-air2160]

Hi. I just used the image of the Devient in the build folder and scaled it up. It has dimensions.

[@bake162]

Nicely done, I like how you walk us through

[@amonus-air2160]

thank you for the kind words

Excellent, nice work! You inspire me to build again. A motorized glider with composite wings and tails would be a good combo for small flying area.

[@amonus-air2160]

well my friend, we both know how to make them light. Just the motor and added battery weight would be a factor.
Thanks for the kind words 😎✌️

Nice to see you get back to it. The color ones look good too!

[@amonus-air2160]

thanks my friend. Good to be back.
Yes, been playing with pigments, and I may have found a good solution.
Tinting the resin I think is the way to go.
Cheers! :)

Really great work! Love it. A little acetone will take the graphics right off that arrow shaft. :-)

[@amonus-air2160]

Thanks for the tip!

Good morning. What did the dollar store sell that you repurposed into mylars?

[@amonus-air2160]

hi. They were sold as binder/report covers. I wish I had bought more cause I haven't seen them since. lol.
There nice due to the thickness ( .5mm for tail group) and as all mylars I use for vacuum bagging , I'll use the thickest I can get away with. ( .8mm for the wings)
Thanks for the question.

[@AzidChannelExplore]

what type of foam do you use...?


[@amonus-air2160]

Hi. I use a Extruded Polystyrene Rigid Insulation, aka XPS. The stuff I use can be found at HomeDepot under Owens Corning FOAMULAR NGX CodeBord XPS Rigid Foam Insulation Board; 1-1/2-inch x 24-inch x 96-inch R-7.5 SL Edge.
