Help, I had a hard time cutting out my ailerons on a glass wing today. I
used an e-xacto knife guided by a strait edge on the bottom skin, got poor
results, then I tried a razor saw on the top skin, and got poor results. Ok
I butchered them. How do the Experts cut ailerons on glass skins over f

One candidate is the Zagi THL, that is Thermal Hand Launch,
which naturally will thermal, as the name implies,
even if it takes its time to get there (that is, it aint
a speed demon)! Equip it with a hook and you'll have lots
of fun chasing thermals!
For a night-time hand launch of my THL see

Since a 45deg. slope is actually very steep, my guess is that either of
those slopes is more than steep enough to get good separation if the ridge
is narrow enough, wind

Go here, listen to all the suggestions that Nathan Woods gives, he has
the best nformation. People would be nuts not to follow them. DON"T ASK
ME HOW I KNOW. I fly a 15+ oz wing wished mine was down to 13oz.
Remember you can always add ballast, can't take it away. Good Luck

Just for the love of flying: Boeing has some cool clips of F22 and F15s
from outside as well as inside the cockpit. Catch the aileron roll video of
the F15 for a feeling of how "out there" the pilot is in this machine. Must
be quite a kick.

I found some Scotch 3M #190 clear plastic tape in the local True Value
Hardware store. Seems the same as some wider clear 3M window insulating tape
there also. that works pretty well for my HLG.

Mikey, If the sun shines in your part of the world, lay the mylar in the
driveway or car hood. Be sure to lay it on some paper to prevent scratching
or better yet, some black plastic tarp would work well. After I bag a wing,
the mylars are usually flat and stay that way because I hang them on the
Well actually it was more of a "pop"...that is if I could hear it. I
had my first DS wing failure yesterday at Parker Mtn in high Santa Ana
winds. I only made 1 1/2 turns before the left wing decided to depart
from the rest of the aircraft. The plane I was flying was a 50 inch
span composite ho
I have to agree with the case that Blaine brings up in the below.
The case in s&EM did not include variations in the vertical
velocity, but considered only horizontal variations...
I apologize if I did not make my assumptions clear enough here.

Friend wants to fly this weekend, open-class plane from a slope.
No time to order fancy mylar hinge tape from Sal.
It is Saturday. Any recommendations on hinge-tape that works real
well, that can be bought in a store?
