Aweome! I know this video is 4 years old but in the future check the ballance left to right on the bench, add weight to the wing tip of the high side and test again Ballance from front to back, you can put a pin in nose and tail for this
Check the weight balance left to right. Its a common problem with foam board builds. I've had to put as many as 6 pennies in a wing tip to get balance on an 80" wing.
I've considered it, seeing how it was pretty heavy already and required a good steady wind of med - high speeds, I choose not to, but this build would benefit from it for sure
ok, spar is 3/4 inch thick at the root and ends 3 inches short of the wing tips, at 1/2 inch where it ends, the body length is 30 inches nose to tail. by the way i free handed the shape and i must say it looks pretty good but not an exact copy.
hi, root chord 14in, 60in total span, cg I took a random guess and started playing with it but needed to be disturbingly nose heavy, but after it flew great, ended up somewhere around 2-3in behind LE

excellent suggestion, thank you
Thanks for the inspired tutorial. Been thinking of building an Alula clone too, and this might be the push to do so.
"In the spirt of Alula". ;)
👍Like!👍
Super video!
Thanks share!
Awesome... Nice flyer..
Will have to build one..
Thanks for the Great tutorial.. ✌

Mantap💪👍👍👍👍
thank you
I had the same problem with mine might have built it a touch to heavy in my case still flys great
Love The Slope
you say you had to adjust ail trim , did you check tip to tip ballance
Do you have plans? Great glider...
sorry no plans, this was many years ago, and I free handed it
Have you tried adding rudder to it?

@@icaruscomplex5588 100% brother.
Nice slope where is it?
in Riverside CA on Arlington
@@icaruscomplex5588 beautiful area
So no added spar other than foam strip? How did you achieve a round leading edge?
I have just a foam spar and i round out the leading edge with sanding block and tape it smooth with packing tape
Where did you get these plans from ?
I free hand these
thanks again, how tall is the spar inside the root, i see its tapered to the tip
ok, spar is 3/4 inch thick at the root and ends 3 inches short of the wing tips, at 1/2 inch where it ends, the body length is 30 inches nose to tail. by the way i free handed the shape and i must say it looks pretty good but not an exact copy.
@@icaruscomplex5588 thanks again, happy flyin, stay safe
hi again, want to build this, can you give the root cord length and thickness, and where the cg ended up, and overall length
hi, root chord 14in, 60in total span, cg I took a random guess and started playing with it but needed to be disturbingly nose heavy, but after it flew great, ended up somewhere around 2-3in behind LE
length nose to tail?
Where can I find your plans? Or should I wing it?
sorry no plans, I free handed most of it from a photo of it on my computer lol
nice, where do you fly
locally we go to a small hill off la sierra
any plans ?
sorry no plans, free handed it
приветик! а есть у тебя чертежи этой модельки в pdf?
нет простите
thanks for your reply, too far for me, im in fraizer park
you must have a beautiful spot up there
@@icaruscomplex5588 still looking, lot of variable winds
…seasick and throwing up…baad camera…bad camera…
