Get some fiber reinforced packing tape and run it from tip to tip UNDER the C/G on that wing, on the top also from tip to tip and on the leading edge too. That polyhedral wing has leverage when way up there, one good oops too much up and you'll see it spiral in and the busted wing in the next county!
Hi Raphael! You really inspired me with the DIY F5J to try out how it is possible to reach a sufficient height for gliding anytime, anywhere. I will still watch your constructions from your videos to build a glider of similar size. How is your motor plane doing, have you flown with it since then?
@@goldenfish77 Hi Peter. I got a little scared of the size and weight. I've bought a new ESC and made the nose longer with PET bottle, so the CG goes forward and I can reduce balast led. When it's all ready, I'll also find a safer place to fly.
@@bracesport Yes, on a warm calm afternoon it could be a right way to reach height for gliding. But my MD2 is a fantastic glider. After I have found the right CG I can toss 5-6m + and so stable for gliding. It is incredible what a performance it has...So what can your BAMFs look like? OMG
Hi there, ive been side tracked by DLG the last few weeks , as i was looking for a way to make my hydroplane mouldings a touch lighter . Up till now ive been grp or the odd vac bag carbon , still to heavy, So im wondering if an exchange of knowledge is possible ? as i could mould epoxy fuselages from plug moulds, It would help to know what part of planet earth you are on. Regards Paul
Hi, I am in middle Europe. I use composite construction for making lighter and stronger wings and tails. I think that for these motor gliders could fly nicer with composite parts.
If you ever get stuck , i tend to use the split mould method of plug mould , made from foam or wood , then take a split mould from that, im sure you are close enough to send me plugs or section drawings that i can turn into moulds,They are super cheap or free on small jobs and help me on my quest for a better boat mould, Regards Paul @@goldenfish77
Congratulations on your build and maiden flight. You did will to land in that little field.
Thank you for your words. I think the motor can take this hobby to another dimension.

Thank you for the tips, I will try it! I would like to make a stronger wing, and a would like to buy an other larger prop.
awesome! Very nice maiden my friend. That glider seems very stable and well made.
Grats! 😎👍
Thank you! Maybe I will improve this glider so that it can easily catch thermals. By reducing the size of the tails, there should be no nose weight.
Sweet glider, I have been meaning to build one
Thank you! I wish you to build one similar thermal glider.
Hi Peter!! Experimenting motorized gliders to! Cool!! Started with only horizontal and vertical stabelizers! Very good!!

Very nice! Cool motorglider!
Thank you my friend! You also inspired me in this theme with your motorized DLG. You flight lots of minutes with motor gliders, I saw.
@@goldenfish77 Thanks, my Friend!
Cool Peter!
Thank you Daniel!
I love it - simple is often the best
Thank you Phil, I think that it is an easier way to reach a higher start height for gliding.
@@goldenfish77 that is true on a no lift day - I do like the challenge of finding a thermal too!

@@goldenfish77 the BAMF is a great machine, but I also like building my own gliders!
@@bracesport Yes, we like to form our own gliders and research the best construction solutions.
niceee
Thank you!
Szép munka! Majd egy behajlós légcsavart tegyél fel, hogy ne fékezze a gépet, ha nem megy a motor. Amúgy viszont nagyon jól repül a gép.
Köszönöm szépen. Majd egy nagyobb légcsavarral próbálkozok. Meg a farokrészeket (felületeket) lehetne kisebbre venni, könnyíteni.
